Head fashion designer for the Gap, Patrick Robinson, is bringing attention to the clothing store's newest trend -- slacks. The collection includes various styles and colors including black, gray, khaki, cropped, flare, anti-fit and skinny.
Will Patrick Robinson and his crew be able to shed light on slacks in the industry? Certainly. Anything Audrey Hepburn would wear gets a gold star. Plus, skinny jeans are overplayed anyway.
