GANNI Collaborates with Juicy Couture
Cult Danish brand GANNI is bringing us a collaboration of dreams, announcing their new collaboration with Juicy Couture on an exclusive 13-style collection that will include the most responsibly produced version to date of the iconic Juicy Couture velour tracksuit. No, you're not dreaming. Launching on March 29, the collection will be available to shop on both the GANNI and Juicy Couture websites.
“There are few fashion pieces in the world that are as easily recognised as Juicy Couture’s velour tracksuit - it’s truly a piece of pop culture history and I am super excited for GANNI’s take on it. Being able to work with them on making the most responsible version yet was a great extra layer to the collaboration. For the collection, we wanted to keep the essential 2000s mood and LA vibe while bringing some of GANNI’s contemporary Scandi feel to it and I can’t wait for our community to create some new iconic moments in it!” - Ditte Reffstrup, creative director of GANNI stated in a press release.

COMMAS holds a seaside dinner for AW22
On a Wednesday night to remember, Commas creative director, Richard Jarman hosted an intimate sunset dinner in collaboration with Hendrick’s Gin with a meal prepared by chef Jordan Toft to introduce the launch of the brands Autumn Winter 2022 collection at a secluded harbour beach in Sydney, Australia.
“We’ve all been longing to be outside and creating memories together again and I would be hard pressed to think of a more inspiring backdrop than Sydney Harbour at dusk,” says Jarman.
Guests were dressed head to toe in the luxury resort wear as they feasted on Toft's perfectly prepared dinner. Once the sun went down, the dinner table turned into a dance floor and friends of the brand took in the final moments of summer on the sand.
“The concept was quite simple; great conversation, incredible food and to be completely surrounded by the natural world,” explained Jarman.
