Escapist Designer Capsules

GANNI Debuts the New Escapism-Inspired Pre-Fall 2022 Collection

GANNI is launching a new collection for Pre-Fall 2022 that is inspired by escapism and wanting to take a break from modern life. Pioneered by the brand’s creative director Ditte Reffstrup, the collection revives nostalgic fashion trends through faded colors, animal prints, and chic holiday-themed garments. Puffed sleeves are standard, appearing on grey floral dresses, bubblegum pink blouses, and other silhouettes. Additional offerings include cozy sweaters, denim, knit vests, and elegant sleeveless dresses, while accessories comprise crochet bucket hats and clogs.

GANNI has also made significant strides in sustainability by utilizing materials like CIRCULOSE and hemp, which are less harmful to the environment. The collection is available now on GANNI’s website and at its worldwide boutiques.
