The cast members include musicians Seth and Scott Avett from the Avett Brothers; American pop duo Karmin; professional ‘Jookin’ dancer Lil’ Buck; singer-songwriter Lia Ices; Chinese-born San Francisco ballet dancer Yuan Yuan Tan; musician Kaki King; and singer-songwriter Nicki Bluhm. Each participant of this campaign is known for their outstanding and innovational style of performance and in the movies each of them embodies what it means to be bright.

«Gap’s fall collection clearly reflects our casual, American style through modern interpretations of our iconic classics that customers can really make their own,» said Seth Farbman, Gap’s Global Chief Marketing Officer. «With Shine, we continue our brand’s tradition of introducing emerging artists and musicians that inspire people creatively to make their mark on the world. It’s this kind of energy and passion for individual style that we are infusing into our clothes today.»

In addition to the videos, Gap will offer consumers an eight-week inspirational content series about the musicians on Gap’s social media channels including a YouTube video of Lil’ Buck jookin’, a Facebook how-to tutorial of Kaki King’s guitar tricks, style tips from Nicki Bluhm on Foursquare and much more across other social media.
