Seeing Red

Can a tank top change the world? It seems unlikely, but that’s the question Gap is posing in The New Yorker issue out Monday as part of its new advertising campaign for the Gap (Product) Red collection. In addition to this ad, the magazine has another 10 pages devoted to Gap’s limited-edition collection of clothing and accessories to help eliminate AIDS in Africa.

In addition to The New Yorker, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Elle and O The Oprah Magazine will include Red ads in their November books. And, for the first time in 15 years, Annie Leibovitz signed on to shoot a Gap campaign and she picked a good time to do it, as Christy Turlington, Don Cheadle, Jennifer Garner, Steven Spielberg and Chris Rock were among the celebrities that participated. Many of the images include a tag line incorporating the word “red,” such as inspired, admired and uncensored. Outdoor ads also will be placed in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York and Chicago. Gap has a five-year partnership with Red and it will introduce new pieces to the collection at future dates. Red also is working with Converse, Georgio Armani and Motorola.

Meanwhile, The New Yorker kicks off its seventh annual festival today, which elicited a ticket-buying frenzy. A spokeswoman for the festival said this year’s events sold out far more quickly than past years, despite there being more events than ever.
