Old Navy splits off from Gap

Mary Hanbury, Business Insider

• Gap Inc. is splitting in two.
• The retailer on Thursday announced that it would be separating into two publicly traded companies, Old Navy and a yet-to-be-named company that will consist of the Gap brand, Athleta, Banana Republic, Intermix, and Hill City.

Old Navy is going out on its own.

Gap Inc. on Thursday announced that it would be splitting into two publicly traded companies: Old Navy and a yet-to-be-named company that will consist of the Gap brand, Athleta, Banana Republic, Intermix, and Hill City.

"Following a comprehensive review by the Gap Inc. Board of Directors, it's clear that Old Navy's business model and customers have increasingly diverged from our specialty brands over time, and each company now requires a different strategy to thrive moving forward," Robert Fisher, Gap Inc.'s board chairman said in a statement to the press.

He continued: "Recognizing that, we determined that pursuing a separation is the most compelling path forward for our brands - creating two separate companies with distinct financial profiles, tailored operating priorities and unique capital allocation strategies, both well positioned to achieve their strategic goals and create significant value for our customers, employees, and shareholders."

Old Navy is one of Gap Inc.'s strongest businesses and accounted for 47% of its sales in 2018. On Thursday, Gap Inc. reported its fourth-quarter earnings. Same-store sales at Old Navy were up 9% during the quarter and 3% for the year overall.

Gap Inc.'s namesake brand saw sales drop by 5%, for both the quarter and 2018 overall.

Gap Inc. also announced that it would be closing 230 Gap specialty stores over the next two years.

The company said in a statement that this new separation would give Old Navy "the flexibility, focus, and control needed to increase customer access by further applying its strategic real estate strategy, evolving its omnichannel model and expanding its product categories to continue to successfully resonate with value-focused customers."

Gap Inc. CEO Art Peck will stay on as CEO of the new, soon-to-be-named company. Sonia Syngal, the CEO of Old Navy, will lead this separate company.

RG Maternity (now The Elevated Closet)

Joerg says: I have noticed that there are still plenty of searches for RG Maternity which lead to this page. I didn't know that they decided to change their name and website URL a while back. Thankfully I found out just now. Please visit their new website (the link below is now updated and will lead you to their new website too).

Rachel wrote back in 2014: My name is Rachel, and I'm a 6'1" mother of four. I love being tall, but have always been frustrated when shopping for clothes. I run a tall shopping blog to showcase what is out there, and to get ideas from other tall shoppers.

About RG Maternity

First things first...why the name? RG is my nickname, and "RG Maternity" just stuck for lack of a better name. At 6'1" I know the frustration of searching for tall maternity clothing (or any tall clothing for that matter). During my first pregnancy, I was excited to hear that a couple big companies carried "tall-sized" jeans online. I eagerly bought some, only to find that their tall clothes are geared to the 5'7" to 5'9" crowd.

In 2007, we took the plunge and started our own tall maternity line. We feature pants with 36" to 38" inseams in every style and size! We cater to the 5'10" to 6'4" crowd, because you deserve warm ankles too. What we add in the future will be partially dependent on feedback, so please tell us what you are looking for!

Thanks for supporting a family operated business, as we work to provide options for tall women.

By Andrea Morabito - June 5, 2016 | 5:43am 

Blond and athletic, Katja Bavendam is used to turning heads.

As she walks down Chambers Street in Tribeca, a woman stops the 31-year-old to snap a photo. Another woman leans out of her car window in traffic to yell, “You’re beautiful!” Several other people do double-takes as they pass her on the sidewalk.

Such is life as a 6-foot-8-inch woman in New York City.

Bavendam is starring in Season 2 of TLC’s “My Giant Life” (premiering Tuesday at 10 p.m.), which follows the lives of six women over 6-foot-6-inches. They’re from all over the country, though being extremely tall in a crowded city like New York brings a unique set of trials and tribulations.

“Cabs are tight, the regular [ones]. I hail whatever stops by, but that’s definitely uncomfortable,” Bavendam tells The Post. “The subway, I usually get in at the middle door because at the end of the car there’s the AC units, so there’s less headroom. When it’s really crowded . . . if I turn around and make a wrong move, I literally elbow people in the face, and I don’t want to do that.”

Though her height didn’t stop her from marrying a shorter person (her wife, Julie, is 5-foot-2) or adopting two lap dogs (a beagle-Chihuahua mix and a terrier mix), there are certain “rules of life” when you’re 6-foot-8: Always pay for the extra-legroom seats on a flight.

Never take long bus trips. And avoid attending a show or play if it’s not worth sitting knees-to-chest for three hours.

Though there are pitfalls - Bavendam’s Tribeca studio apartment only fits a full-size bed — such height also comes with benefits, like always having an unobstructed view at a concert and never finding your face in someone else’s sweaty armpit on a rush-hour subway.

“It’s nice, you always have your own bubble and breathing room,” says Bavendam, who works as a traffic engineer at an urban planning firm near Madison Square Park.

She comes from a tall family: Bavendam’s mother is exactly 6 feet and her father and sister are both 6-foot-3-inches. So for the new TV star - who grew up in Germany and moved to Manhattan in 2011 - participating in “My Giant Life” was just a way to harness the attention she’s drawn her whole life.

“I get approached so much and my picture is floating around on fetish Web sites; I already feel like a public person,” she says. “I might as well have some fun with it... because my life already feels like I’m part of a show. People [on the street] feel entitled to talk to me and ask for my life story.” Graciously, Bavendam views the spotlight as more amusing than annoying.

“I find it fascinating that people are fascinated with my height.”
