"Our first collection with DÔEN set a new bar for how a collaboration can infuse a fresh perspective into Gap essentials, creating covetable pieces that left our customers wanting more,' said Mark Breitbard, President & CEO of Gap . 'Reuniting with DÔEN—an inspiring partner that shares our values—has allowed us to build on that momentum with a new summer-ready collection.'

'Our second collaboration blends the effortless femininity and timeless style of both brands, while celebrating the incredible community that has shaped DÔEN. The campaign features longtime muses and supporters—women we admire and who have been part of our journey from the beginning. This collection is a tribute to them and to the partnership that brought us here.'
The Gap × DÔEN collection was produced in international factories that participate in RISE (Reimagining Industry to Support Equality). RISE brings together leading fashion brands, manufacturers, civil society groups, and trade unions to advance gender equity in the international garment sector. Founded in 2023 by Gap Inc., BSR's HERproject, Better Work and CARE, RISE provides garment workers with the skills needed to advance in work and life. As part of its commitment to bridging the equity gap, Gap Inc. has reached nearly 1.4 million women and girls through its decades-long efforts to advance gender equity in the global fashion supply chain.
'At DÔEN, we were humbled to be selected as a small business partner to join the RISE program, and we've launched the initiative within our own supply chain this April,' says Kleveland . 'We are especially excited about the factories chosen to manufacture the Gap × DÔEN collection given the role RISE plays in our overall impact strategy.'
The collection is accompanied by a campaign shot by Clara Balzary, featuring a powerful cast of women, including Alex Noriet, Bruna Tenorio, Veronica Campos, Imani Randolph, Anny Choi, Achok, and Kirsty Hume.
