Ganni and Ahluwalia Collaborate on the London Brand's First Venture Into Womenswear

Could a fashion collaboration be any cooler? We don't think so. Circular-fashion advocate Ganni is collaborating with emerging London-based brand Ahluwalia for Ganni's 2021 reworked collection. Ganni x Ahluwalia includes an edit of outerwear, dresses, skirts, and tops made from the brands' surplus materials. This will be Ahluwalia's first venture into womenswear and the first of two 2021 collaborations with Ganni.

Priya Ahluwalia is the trailblazing British designer of her eponymous fashion brand. The designer is the recent winner of the 2021 Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design, which is the latest in a list of impressive accolades - including being part of the British Fashion Council's 2019/2020 NewGen initiative and the recipient of the 2020 LVMH Prize. Ahluwalia is known for using surplus materials in the creation of forward-thinking collections that are also informed by the designer's dual Indian-Nigerian heritage and London roots.

"I am really excited about Ahluwalia's first official venture into womenswear and I am so glad it is with Ganni," Priya Ahluwalia said in a press statement. "Since the moment I met the Ganni team, especially Ditte [Reffstrup, Ganni's creative director], I have felt excited about what was possible. When I started my research for the collection, I thought about both Ganni's and my own love of a good party. I looked at photography from the UK Garage scene as well as photos from my own personal history and culture and wanted to create clothing that women will feel sexy and strong in whilst on the dancefloor, whether at a club or at home. It's been such a successful and enjoyable experience and to be trusted to design the collection using Ganni's liability materials was something that was very important to the design process. The project has been great in showing how leftover materials can be totally transformed and are worth cherishing."

The 19-piece Ganni x Ahluwalia collection launches on Friday, April 23, with a price range of $100 to $1,350, exclusively on Ganni's website and in Ganni stores. Keep reading for a first look at the collaboration, and stay tuned for the second collection to be released in the fall.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
