If you’re that special type of stage parent who won’t rest until your child becomes a successful Ghostbuster known far and wide, I recommend heading over to Old Navy’s website and purchasing some branded merch.

Ralph Lauren, a designer virtually synonymous with a certain preppy-American country club aesthetic, is stepping down from his post as CEO of the company that bears his name. Stefan Larsson, a former H&M executive and president of Old Navy, will replace Lauren in November.
Gap, a company wandering in the wilderness, has now reached the store closure phase.
On Wednesday, according to the New York Times, J.Crew “eliminated” nearly 200 positions—175 to be exact—and announced the head of its women’s design team was out, too. J.Crew and its chief executive Mickey Drexler, who previously revitalized Gap and steered the creation of Old Navy, blamed the company’s 10 percent…
Since normcore was a swing and a miss, Gap is currently doing some frantic soul-searching. But meanwhile, low-cost corporate little sister Old Navy is having her moment in the sun.
If you're a plus-size woman buying jeans at Old Navy, you'll pay more than your slender female friends or big-and-tall guy friends. And people are pissed.
Cats! Kids! Sure, this audience of cats at this cat/kid fashion show was clearly just a few cats photoshopped to make it look like there are many many cats present but who cares? This is still very cute.

If you're a woman who wants to buy your pants from OldNavy.com, go right ahead. Just be aware that the company is trying to convince you that their pants will give you a thigh gap you might not have.
Like Backstreet Boys and Boys II Men before her, Amy Poehler has become an official spokesperson for Old Navy. Her ad — which is now airing on television — is charming and funny, much like Poehler herself. That said, is it enough?

Kim Kardashian is suing Old Navy for up to $20 million. Why? Kardashian alleges that the chain purposefully cast a model who looks just like her in its new ads, with the intention of misleading customers into thinking that the chief Sister K was somehow affiliated with the brand. And it just so happens that the model, …
The folks at Old Navy swear that they've got the perfect jeans for your body shape. Hence: The "Booty Reader." Like the love child of Miss Cleo and Sir Mix-A-Lot, she likes big butts and she cannot lie.
