OK! Magazine: What five GAP Factory summer basics do you suggest indulging in this summer?
George Kotsiopoulos: White jeans are a must for summer. Period. A denim motorcycle jacket is a great alternative to a traditional jean jacket. Striped maxi dresses are perfect for travel and transition easily from pool to lunch to shopping. Gap Factory is, of course, know for denim and a faded, lived-in chambray button-up works with everything. Hawaiian print floral short shorts are a fun alternative.
OK!: What's your favorite thing to find at GAP Factory?
GK: I love all the denim, especially the white denim. The fit is fantastic.
OK!: Do you ever ask Joan Rivers advice on your outfits?
GK: I know Joan may not care for an outfit when she tells me it's great for summer in the Hamptons. I adore that woman.

GK: I think Gillette needs me. I think Tide and Downey need me.
OK!: What did you think about Kendall Jenner's MuchMusic look?
GK: Kendall is a top runway model who can wear anything. I think she looked fantastic in that gown. It was not only appropriate for a music event but for the host to wear as well.
OK!: Who do you think is the next big thing in style?
GK: There are some well-dressed youngsters out there including Kiernan Shipka, Isabelle Fuhrman, Chloe Moretz, Elle Fanning, and Hailee Steinfeld. They look great as teens so they have nowhere to go but up.

OK!: What's one summer style you're already over?
GK: I feel like summer just began. In fact, it did just officially begin! I'm not sick of anything yet! But by end of summer, I will probably be sick of all the tropical prints I bought.
