Today, for the first time ever, it is dress down Friday for the
New York Stock Exchange. Gap Inc., as part of its 40th anniversary
celebration, is outfitting traders on the NYSE in Gap 1969 Premium
Denim Jeans, a new collection named in honor of the company's debut
year.
“Today the NYSE is trading business suits for jeans to
commemorate Gap’s 40th anniversary brand initiative,” said Duncan
Niederauer, CEO, NYSE Euronext. “Our trading community and staff
are very proud to celebrate this occasion with Gap, which is a
great global brand. We take promoting our companies very seriously
and are pleased to highlight members of the NYSE-listed family
whenever possible. Our superior market quality, value added service
offerings and global visibility platform make the NYSE a perfect
fit for Gap."
"In 1969, Don and Doris Fisher started Gap as a standalone store
that sold jeans and records. Now forty years later, jeans are the
foundation of everyone's wardrobe - and they can be worn to just
about every occasion. The fact that we're dressing the New York
Stock Exchange in jeans for the first time in history really speaks
to the role that Gap still plays in our culture today," said Marka
Hansen, president of Gap brand North America.
