ith the weather heating up, GANNI x Ahluwalia has you covered, with multi-wear minis and sleek separates, look no further for the perfect pieces to take your summer style to new heights.
TODAY, contemporary Danish fashion label GANNI and London design powerhouse Priya Ahluwalia launch their latest collaboration. A sustainable second instalment in the partnership, this latest drop presents a 90s sensibility with a joyous contemporary flair, crafted entirely from denim.
Building upon a responsible design ethos forged in the first coming together of the Scandi favourite and Ahluwaliaâs eponymous label, each garment is crafted through re-worked fabrics or upcycled garments.
âThis collection is all about celebrating the things we missed during lockdown, feeling new energy and getting euphoric about life again.â
âDenim is so interesting, as people from all walks of life wear it. We wanted to underline that versatility throughout the campaign and collection,â said Ahluwalia.
Of the total 16 ready-to-wear pieces, the versatility and enduring presence of denim shine. Inspired by the sentiment that âwhat we have is what we needâ this single fabric collection symbolizes the abundance of a singular competent.
âPriya and I are creatively completely in sync so it was a dream for me to work on this collection with her and I loved the dogma of designing an entire collection out of my favourite fabric, denim,â says Ditte Reffstrup, GANNIâs creative director.
Developed in the midst of lockdown, the collection focuses on a freeing sense of euphoria, from travelling to dancing in clubs, it's all about reaching a âhigher frequency.â
âThis collection is all about celebrating the things we missed during lockdown, feeling new energy and getting euphoric about life again,â added Reffstrup.
This essence comes to roaring life in the campaign shot by London based photographer Philipp Raheem, with electric colours and a strong psychedelic sensibility making for the backdrop of the collection.

Characteristics of both labels meet together in perfect harmony evoking joy through signature GANNI silhouettes paired with Aluwaliaâs characteristically 90s notes.
âWorking with the GANNI archive has been really interesting, delving into it and reimagining it through an Ahluwalia lens,â says Ahluwalia, adding: âWorking with an all-denim collection has also been a great challenge, really amplifying the power of using one universal material - which was also a first for me.â
The collection ranges from head-turning trenches, and multifunctional cut-out dresses, to casually tailored denim suits all designed with the intention to make you feel like the best version of yourself.
