WHO: Pierre Hardy, the French designer of shoes and bags, and the latest designer to partner with Gap. MISSION: To provide shoes that combine Gap's "lightness and spontaneity" with the "glamour and sexiness" of the looks he created in his past collaborations with Christian Dior, Hermes, and Balenciaga. Each Pierre Hardy for Gap pair costs $98. CALIFORNIA DREAMING: Hardy's inspiration for the collection is the "feeling of freedom on the West Coast in the '60s and '70s." WALKING TALL: "You don't necessarily need a high, high heel for a shoe to be sexy. Flat sandals--if they fit well--can be very seductive."
