"We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to build on Gap’s successful past collaborations and develop this collection with Diane, a true American fashion icon and inspiration to women around the world," said Art Peck, President of Gap brand, North America. "I’m also looking forward to offering our customers an exciting collection that applies her signature approach to print, optimistic colour and femininity, mixed with our expertise in great quality premium children’s clothing at accessible prices."

Diane von Fürstenberg comments, "As a proud mother and grandmother I am so excited to create a capsule collection for children with the superstar retailer, Gap."
