Over the next few weeks, all your favorite collections from last season’s fashion month will finally be available to shop. And if you were paying attention to our coverage from the spring ‘20 season, you probably already know which of those collections we’ve been saving up our money for: Ganni.
As of this morning, drops one and two from the cult-favorite Scandinavian brand’s spring ‘20 collection are officially available to shop both online and in its newly opened stores in L.A. and New York (the international shops, too!).
This collection, in particular, was a special one for the brand as it marked the 10th anniversary of its existence. “This collection feels personal,” Ditte Reffstrup, one half of the duo behind Ganni said in a press release following the spring ‘20 show in Copenhagen last September. “It means so much to see how women all over the world connect to what we do. I don’t think we ever really dared to believe it would come this far.”
It also marks five years since the brand really took off following its spring ‘15 show, which, not so coincidentally, took place on the same Copenhagen tennis court as the spring ‘20 show. Since that show, Ganni has expanded globally, amassed 717k followers on Instagram, and grown a massive fan-base of #GanniGirls located around the world. Its pieces are sold in the industry’s top retailers, from Net-A-Porter to Bergdorf Goodman, with more and more pieces being bought and sold each day.
With everything that’s happening for the brand, Reffstrup has been thinking about the core of the brand and why she started Ganni in the first place. “In the studio, they’ve been joking that this [collection] was my therapy collection,” she says. Her takeaway? “What we do is all about making women feel like they are capable of anything. Ganni is a state of mind more than anything, it’s about making women feel comfortable in their own skin.”
And now, after months of waiting, we can finally get our hands on Reffstrup’s most personal collection yet. Ahead, shop our favorite pieces from the collection.

There was something intensely surreal about being in Paris last week; about leaving Milan on the heels of the news that public schools there would be shutting down because of coronavirus. It was hard to explain to friends in the U.S. — all still comfortably operating under an “it’s not that bad” mindset — the apocalyptic nature of the feeling in the air. And it was extra surreal to go to fashion shows in the midst of it, while teams dropped out right and left, and shows and presentations canceled last minute. There was even an aesthetic metaphor for the week: a woman in the front row at Chanel wearing a medical mask with white Chanel flowers on it.
.
As in Milan, politics were noticeably absent from the runways in Paris. Climate change and fashion’s contributions to it were hardly addressed, and plus-size models barely had a presence. It was an odd insistence on fashion without context, rendered even more confusing by the way the designs referenced the end of the world so directly, as though designers had anticipated a dystopian week — which might just be a sign that dystopia is now just here to stay.
Our favorite looks mirrored the ambient strangeness: They were dreamy, exaggerated, apocalyptic; they reimagined gender to be at once aggressively feminine and very masculine, with sharp shoulders and feathers, bows and neckties. Colors stepped outside the usual earthy fall palette to embrace pale kiwi green, purple, and fuchsia — though the color black was heavily embraced by nearly every designer, too. Overcoats dusted the floor; capes billowed dramatically behind models. Ahead, our favorite trends that emerged from Paris Fashion Week.
Pale Green Things
Once I noticed this color — which is somewhere between kiwi and lime — on the runways, I saw it everywhere. It’s a welcome burst of juiciness in what is generally a season of dark, muted colors. At the Acne showroom, pale green velvet and brocade was used to evoke the feeling of reused fabrics; Saks Potts’ presentation in a parking garage featured a pale lime green coat with matching knee-high boots; one of the planets that Marine Serre imagined for her runway featured the color in tattered dresses and shoes; Off-White featured it in a boiler suit and as a track jacket atop a white ball gown; even Chanel added the color to its classic palette.

Ah, fringe. There was absolutely nothing as ubiquitous this entire month as the presence of fringe swaying jauntily or bouncing aggressively, depending on the designer, and it was no surprise to see that it carried over from Milan to Paris. Swaying in white from a black top at Givenchy; covering a sparkly black coat Rochas; underneath neon “CONSENT” signs at Dior, and more, the Western-turned-futuristic dangly fabric detail will definitely be inescapable in *checks calendar* approximately six months time.

Yes, there were teeny tiny adorable little bags on the runway, but they were nothing compared to the welcome drama of the oversized bags. Nanushka turned out a large vegan leather bag that looked like a giant croissant (or maybe I was just hungry?); enormous foldover bags were cradled under arms at Off-White; and large totes swung around at Balmain. One does wonder why fashion thinks handbags should either be microscopic or supersized, but, at any rate, this trend is going to make packing in style much easier for September fashion month.

Ok, I’m just going to level with you. I live for a good bow moment. So you can imagine my delight when they appeared on so many runways in Paris, referencing the upper-echelons of the ‘70s at Celine; ranging from silky and soft to stiff and proper at Elie Saab; and tied in ponytails at Chanel. What’s so great about bows is that they can look tomboyish, tied around the neck, and they can also look extremely feminine, billowing and oversized. Bows have no gender, and they are every gender. Is it fall yet?

If the world was really, truly ending, would you worry about what to wear for it? That was the question many designers seemed to be posing to us in Paris. At Marine Serre, a post-apocalyptic, multi-planetary backdrop had models in outfits to deflect moonlight and time travel; at Balenciaga, they walked on water in long layers of black; at Balmain, liquid silk brown capes billowed behind models that looked like they were dressed for battle on the desert planet. It was sci-fi fashion at its finest, allowing showgoers to, even if just for a moment, think about what the future holds for events like these.

LONDON, ENGLAND – FEBRUARY 16: Chloe Sevigny walks the runway at the Simone Rocha Ready to Wear Fall/Winter 2019-2020 fashion show during London Fashion Week February 2019 on February 16, 2019 in London, England. (Photo by Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images)
Out of all the ‘90s cool kids, Chloë Sevigny is, without a shadow of a doubt, the one at the top of our lists. From her on-screen wardrobes in Kids, Party Monster, and The Last Days With Disco (LBDs, pleated midi skirts, and tube tops included) to her effortless street style ensembles, you can bet that if a photo of Sevigny lands on our desks, we’re going to mood board it — and, probably, attempt to recreate it ourselves. So naturally, when we heard the news that the 45-year-old Jane-of-all-trades was expecting her first child with boyfriend Sinisa Mackovic, we quickly began brainstorming what her style would look like throughout her pregnancy.
Already on the books is a leather-and-lace collab at the Tribeca Film Festival; ‘70s bell pants; lumberjack outerwear; and, a cerulean blue Gucci coat that quickly made its way onto our spring-transition wishlists. The latest look to cross our screens, though, has to be the Chloë-est of all. For a brand event in New York, Sevigny chose a white lace frock by London-based designer Simone Rocha.
The brand, a perfect match for the mom-to-be’s feminine-yet-grungy aesthetic, has long since been a fan of Sevigny’s, and vice versa. In fact, Rocha handpicked Sevigny to walk in her fall ‘19 show. Of the experience, Chloë told Vogue that she actually dislikes walking in — and attending — fashion shows, but made an exception for this one specifically. “Simone is a friend and I’m such a fan,” she said of the designer. “I like to support other women, especially in this industry, so when she asked, I said, ‘Why not?’”
The dress she modeled during the show was only slightly different from the one she chose as a maternity look for yesterday’s event, from the spring ’20 collection. “Her clothing is like nothing you really see out there. It just makes you feel otherworldly,” Sevigny said to Vogue. Paired with the Rocha original, Sevigny carried a bright red Rothy’s tote bag, and wore a pair of leopard print Mary Janes flats.
Sevigny’s look falls in line with the recent uptick in the number of pregnant women who, rather than limiting themselves strictly to maternity wear, are choosing to style their own wardrobes in new ways that fit their changing bodies. “I think for many of us who never fantasized about how we might dress when we were pregnant, actually being pregnant and getting to figure that out ended up being much more fun than I could have imagined,” says Refinery29’s Editor-In-Chief Christene Barberich. “For me, I definitely experienced a genuine sense of freedom dressing as a pregnant woman and was drawn to experimenting with size and shape and things in my closet that I never had before. I loved wearing my husband’s button-down shirts, too… I pretty much wore everything but traditional maternity wear.”
With her due date fast approaching (April 30 to be exact), we only have a few weeks left to soak in all of Chloë Sevigny’s maternity style hacks while we still can. One thing’s for sure, though: That’s going to be one seriously stylish kid.

गर्मियों का सीजन आते ही न सिर्फ आउटफिट्स के फैब्रिक में चेंज दिखता है बल्कि लोगों के कपड़ों के कलर्स भी बदल जाते हैं। लोग ऐसे कलर चुनने लगते हैं जो समर फ्रेंडली हों। समर सीजन की दस्तक होते ही बॉलिवुड ऐक्ट्रेसेस के कपड़ों में भी अब ये दोनों बदलाव दिखने लगे हैं।

भूमि पेडनेकर और आलिया भट्ट दोनों ही स्टाइल के मामले में काफी अलग चॉइस रखती हैं। लेकिन इस बार दोनों ही लैवंडर कलर की ड्रेसेस में नजर आईं। एक का स्टाइल जहां स्वीट था तो दूसरी का सेक्सी।
