JanSport partnered with CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund 2025 finalist, Gabe Gordon for his brand’s SS26 NYFW runway show. Gabe’s SS26 collection featured two classic JanSport SuperBreak backpacks, customized in Gabe Gordon style as well as the debut of an up-and-coming collection for the JanSport brand. A duffle bag from JanSports upcoming Clutch Series was also featured.
The Clutch Series from JanSport is inspired by the brand’s heritage. With the first ever JanSport bags ever being crafted above an autogarage, the Clutch Series duffle paired perfectly with Gabes vision for his SS26 season, with his collection centering around automotive themes, and his show taking place in an autogarage as well.

ABOUT GABE GORDON
Brooklyn-based designer Gabe Gordon’s eponymous label—worn by cultural icons like Kim Kardashian and Dua Lipa—rose to prominence in 2021 with the launch of his asymmetrical Vortex cardigans, establishing the brand as a fixture in the experimental fashion scene in New York and beyond. In the past two collections, the label has entered a new chapter under the creative partnership of Gabe and his husband, Timothy Gibbons, whose background in costume design, tailoring, and construction has brought a refined structural depth to the brand’s vision. Gordon and Gibbons blend their expertise in knitwear, tailoring, and textiles to craft a distinctive brand that is grounded in sustainability, object connection, and the deconstruction of the false boundaries and embodied potentials of identity. Their work reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and a deep reverence for fashion and costume history.
