GANNI Fall Winter 2026 unfolds within a quiet atmosphere that holds a sense of anticipation. The presentation space introduces a moment of stillness before movement begins. Stone lies across the floor in low organic forms. Plaids, blankets, and lace rest across these surfaces, creating tension between weight and delicacy. Reflective platforms support the mannequins, raising the garments above the ground while introducing light and dimension into the room.
FALL WINTER 2026
At the center of the installation stands a large rock measuring two and a half meters in height. Danish painter Linus Alexander Hübell Salic works inside the presentation space throughout the event. He paints directly onto the stone during the show, allowing the artwork to develop in real time. Creative Director Ditte Reffstrup shaped the collection through memories of her hometown of Hirtshals in northern Denmark. Winters there carry strong winds and a constant presence of the sea. Growing up in this environment meant experiencing nature directly. The weather defines daily life through shifting conditions and powerful natural forces.
Reffstrup also reflects on the women who shaped her understanding of strength and creativity. Writers, musicians, and artists from her early life influenced her perspective on femininity. These women expressed both resilience and tenderness through their work and personal lives. Their influence encouraged independence and creative freedom while resisting narrow expectations placed on women. The garments combine protective forms with delicate detail. Chunky knitwear, blanket skirts, and faux shearling coats surround the body with warmth and volume. These pieces appear layered over lace elements, ruffles, and lingerie-inspired lines that follow the shape of the body beneath.
Historic references appear through empire waistlines, waistcoats, and suspender structures. These details echo earlier forms of dress while remaining grounded in contemporary silhouettes. Heavy wool and sculpted outerwear introduce weight and structure into the wardrobe. Dresses move close to the body before extending into wider hems that create motion. Raw edges and long metal zip pullers add practical elements that contribute to the garments’ functionality.
Leopard patterns appear enlarged and reworked across garments. Designers combine these motifs with checks and vibrant floral patterns set against darker backgrounds. Browns and beige tones reflect stone and earth. Green, purple, and yellow introduce sharper accents across the palette. Silhouettes grow in volume through outerwear and layered garments that provide protection from harsh weather conditions.
The Very Bou Bag appears as an evolution of an existing house shape. The design features a flap closure and a GANNI Butterfly lock. The Kat Shoulder Bag returns in faux shearling materials. Footwear includes the Jenny High Boot, which develops from last season’s ballerina style through a fold-over collar and studded trim. A lower slouched version joins the lineup.
GANNI also advances its Fabrics of the Future initiative this season. The brand introduces Ohoskin and Oleatex, leather alternatives developed from waste created during orange and olive oil production. The collection also features InResST, a recycled nylon created from discarded ocean fishing nets. Designers use this material across puffers and soft accessories.
Ditte Reffstrup summarized the direction of the collection through a reflection on life near the sea. “Living so close to nature, you learn that toughness and beauty can exist at once. The women who have always inspired me carry that same balance, living creatively on their own terms. At GANNI, we believe that hyperfemininity holds power, and this collection reflects that spirit.”
