On August 20th, Narciso Rodriguez will assume an advisory position to the Gap, Inc owned brand, Banana Republic. The first collection, Rodriguez-Banana Republic will be introduced in fall 2013.

“At Banana Republic, we are committed to delivering modern, stylish workwear to our customers,” said Jack Calhoun, president of Banana Republic.

Rodriguez is known for architectural, modern silhouettes. His collection has twice won the Council of Fashion Designers of America award for best women’s wear designer. His line was recently expanded to include shoes and Rodriguez is launching in the fall a limited-edition collection at Kohl’s Corp. inspired by Istanbul.
