Gap design EVP out as company looks to revamp division

SAN FRANCISCO--Gap Inc. announced that Patrick Robinson, EVP Gap global design for adult and body, is leaving the company, effective immediately.

“After spending the last three months in New York with the Creative team, I have made the decision to make a change within our Gap Adult design team,” said Pam Wallack, head of the Gap global creative center in New York.

The company said it will begin a search immediately. In the interim, Wallack will provide day-to-day management of the design teams, and has asked Jennifer Giangualano, SVP kids and baby design, to provide leadership and direction on adult design during this transition period. Rosella Giuliani, who heads the brand’s design office in Los Angeles, will continue to oversee Gap’s 1969 denim product line, reporting directly to Wallack.
