Just as drama of Lanvin for H&M has subsided and the novelty worn off, it’s time to for Gap to debut its own collaborative collection with Valentino—on Black Friday, no less.

Although, given that the capsule collection will only be available in select European stores, I suppose the choice of Black Friday as the launch date is inconsequential. (Is there a European Black Friday? After all, Europe as a continent does not celebrate Thanksgiving.)

Regardless, the seven-piece collection will be available this Friday, November 26 and features three parkas, a tiered skirt, cargo pants, a grey t-shirt and a hoodie in shades of army green, cream and black. Priced between $100 and $240, it is an affordable way to incorporate Valentino’s signature ruffled looks into your wardrobe.

The FNO collection includes pima cotton short and long sleeve t-shirts, tanks, and unisex hoodies emblazoned with the FNO logo and an abstract cityscape print. Forty percent of the proceeds raised from the sales of these style-savvy shirts will go to the NYC AIDS fund.

In addition to t-shirts (adorned with the OBEY face peeking out of the Levi’s® batwing logo), the line also features two different denim jackets with custom, Fairey-designed artwork lining; one with a black, french terry hood sewn into the collar of the jacket, and the other over-dyed in black. There is also a buffalo plaid flannel woven shirt. Prices range from $34.50 to $148.00 making the collection more accessible to a wider audience.
