The late Stephen tWitch Boss is being honored as part of a limited-edition clothing collection by Gap and The Brooklyn Circus , which the dancer and Ellen DeGeneres Show DJ modeled for before his death.

The brands released photos of Boss on Tuesday as part of the launch.

When Stephen and I first saw his images from the campaign, it brought tears to our eyes, his wife, Allison Holker Boss, said in a press release from Gap . He was so moved by how they captured his true essence, and he was excited for the world to see them.

Boss was a fan of both brands before forming a friendship with Brooklyn Circus founder and designer Ouigi Theodore, according to Gap. Photographer John Midgley captured images for the campaign.

I do remember when he was on set, he was extremely encouraging, and the way that he was on set to support Ouigi was something that was very moving to me, Pose actor Indya Moore, who is also featured in the campaign, told People . It was something that stayed on my mind, and I thought about throughout.
