Gap’s Sweet Holiday Campaign Follows the Bond Between a Mother and Son

It's a departure from its typically cheery, dance-filled campaigns

In a departure from its typically cheery, dance-filled campaigns, the retailer’s latest effort takes a more understated, emotional approach. Created by Johannes Leonardo, the spot opens with a mom tearing the tag off of her son’s new Gap zip-up hoodie as he runs out the door to catch the bus.

The bright red hoodie quickly becomes a staple of his wardrobe throughout his teenage years, making appearances in school photos and around the neighborhood he skateboards in.
