We Asked Fashion Designer Patrick Robinson: What's In Your Beach Bag?

Oprah.com   |   From the July 2009 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine
Patrick Robinson's beach bag
Gap's executive vice president of design tells us what he plans to bring on his annual family vacation to Parrot Cay in Turks & Caicos.
"I'll pack my allergy meds and inhalers—I'm allergic to everything—my BlackBerry Bold, Kiehl's Lip Balm SPF 15, a huge beach towel, Havaianas, and a Gap hat.

My 5-year-old son, Wyeth, will need his Anakin Skywalker and R2-D2 action figures, along with an iPod Touch and Bose headphones so that he can watch The Clone Wars.

And Virginia, my wife, will be sure to throw in sunscreen (usually a Patricia Wexler M.D. cream) and Close, the new Gap women's fragrance I helped create. Its salty-citrus scent is light enough for the beach; I plan to wear it myself."

In the bag: Patrick fits his Gap hat, Havaianas, and Pottery Barn towel into this giant Gap tote. Also island bound: Gap Close, Wexler Universal Anti-Aging Moisturizer SPF 30, and Clarins Sunscreen for Children SPF 30.
