That’s about the coolest commercial I’ve ever seen. GAP is reclaiming some lost ground…

Seems like they’re trying to hard. Nothing really original here. On the other hand, the Apple iPod ads not only show originality but great identity and brand evolution. The Gap has done much better in the past.

How horrible! Audrey Hepburn is so above GAP. What an awful use of her legacy!

I agree with Jeff, this commercial only uses the fame of Audrey Hepurn to help lure back customer but in the end it doesn’t matter-GAP needs to improve the quality of their clothes, stores, and sales staff. Commercials means nothing if the product doesn’t back it up.

It is absolutely a disgrace. She cannot choose to appear or not. I am appalled.

The Gap – Audrey Hepburn ad is amazing, enthralling, mesmerizing – the ultimate in cool, hip, seamless fun – energetic and energizing. The work of genius!!! One of the best ads I’ve ever seen!

This commercial is so inventive in my opinion! I know that the Apple commecials are amazing but this one is good too. Also, if you go to the stores, the windows with her are really great.

I absolutely love the Gap commercial with Hepburn for its artistic ingenuity. I cannot understand those who are outraged ! She was not royalty, she was after all, an entertainer and this was most entertaining!

An abomination. I can only hope that someone will be fired over this. I didn’t shop at The Crap before, and this sort of thing will guarantee that I never will. Awful.

Everyone wants a piece of Marilyn too. I don’t hear people lamenting her face appropriated on dishes, perfume bottles, and sweaters, et al. That’s how obsessive celebrity is celebrated. Who wouldn’t want to be an icon? The choreography, camera work and soundtrack are great together! Who cares if it does or doesn’t sell clothes? I don’t have an ipod and I don’t shop at the Gap, no matter. I love it !

Worst commercial ever made. It annoys the hell out of me and I want to smash the TV everytime it is on.

The problem is that the GAP has a very narrow customer base. Its like a bad version of Hollister or Abercrombie & Fitch. Nothing like a dead actress to spur sales.

I just liked seeing her again. She was drop dead cute!

I truly enjoy the commercial and seeing a fresh view of Audrey Hepburn. No one should be tried of viewing this type of work, bringing generations together. I loved it. Does anyone know what movie this clip is from?

This commercial is brilliant and should win a Cleo! Who cares about the quality of Gap’s clothing? If you look at this ad from an artistic and creative p.o.v. – it’s amazing!

This is the worst commercial I have ever seen. I am so sick of stupid ad agencies and corporations using old Hollywood icons to sell their products. LAME!
