In the last six months we’ve watched her writhe her way through the great logo fiasco (Little blue box! Crowdsourced design! Back to classic!), the bad press generated by charity FEED bags claiming to be made in the USA but bearing Chinese labels (yuck), and the latest scandal in which a Flickr photograph may have been illegally appropriated and stamped on a Baby Gap onesie. Loyalty to a long-time employee is lovely, but in the cut-throat world of fashion retail, it makes you wonder what took CEO Glenn Murphy so long to pull the plug.

She will be replaced by Art Peck, president of Gap’s outlet division and EVP of corporate strategy. Pam Wallack, president of Gap Adult North America, will become EVP of a new Gap Global Creative Center in New York. The latter office complements Gap’s recent installation on the West Coast with an office in the seat of the denim industry in downtown LA. And like it, the one-stop shop in NYC is tasked with turning out trends tout de suite.

Let’s hope the team in New York will take a more holistic approach than its California cousin. Hansen noted that despite the (relative) success of Premium Denim, the company failed to produce covet-worthy tops to wear with said jeans. It’s kind of hard to believe a global design team led by Patrick Robinson could fall asleep at the switch like that. Maybe they were too busy striking up collaborative deals with shoemakers such as Keds and Pierre Hardy. More likely it’s proof that Hansen’s leadership was too laissez-faire to look over hunched shoulders at the drawing tables and provide the missing perspective.
