As we mentioned last week, Gap's second collection of limited-edition pieces inspired by the classic white shirt hits stores today.

All of the chic garments were created exclusively by finalists of the 2007 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund -- which helps emerging American design talent find continued success in the business side of fashion.

How is that? Anna Wintour puts the struggling designer in her fashion bible -- aka Vogue. And the exposure usually does wonders for the brand and the image of the lucky designer.
So, expect to see a major shoutout from Vogue in its May issue.

While all of the pieces in this second Design Edition collection exude that effortless chic vibe that we ache and wish for in every inexpensive collection we lay eyes upon, there are two pieces in particular that are tugging on our credit cards:

The ThreeAsFour cut-out dress and 3/4 sleeved top by Philip Lim.

The innovative and understated designs of both pieces are well-worth their price tag. And will probably sell out the quickest in stores and online.

Meanwhile, Gap has all of the men's and women's styles including the jewelry by Philip Crangi as well as interviews from the designers on its site right now.
