Fashion History
Donald and Doris Fisher founded Gap in 1969 in San Francisco, California. Initially, the store focused on selling Levi’s jeans and records to appeal to the younger generation. Over decades, it transitioned into a private label powerhouse, defining a minimalist aesthetic. It played a pivotal role in the mass-market retail boom of the 1990s, popularizing casual office wear and uniform-like simplicity in global everyday dress.
