Eyewear brand Ace & Tate is working with GANNI on a new eyewear capsule inspired by the duo's shared love of minimalism. The collection features a boxy square sunglasses silhouette, with colorways ranging from pink to leopard print, as well as additional accessories like a co-branded pouch made from GANNI's leftover waste materials.
The duo has also partnered with London's PeopleFile to create a new campaign that dives deep into both brand's individual communities across Copenhagen, Amsterdam, London, and New York.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Ace & Tate on this special sunglasses collection. Together, we have created a range of shades that not only reflect GANNI’s unique style but shine a light on Ace and Tate’s impressive practice when it comes to responsible materials. We see collaboration as a force for change in fashion, and this collaboration is a celebration of just that,” says GANNI’s creative director, Ditte Reffstrup.
