Ganni Fall/Winter 2026: A Nordic Aesthetic Where Strength and Fragility Coexist

On March 3, Ganni presented its Fall/Winter 2026 collection in a presentation format during Paris Fashion Week.

This season, creative director Ditte Reffstrup drew inspiration from somewhere deeply personal: the harsh winters of Hirtshals, the northern Danish coastal town where she grew up. To be raised in a landscape shaped by relentless wind and sea is not to observe nature from a distance — it is to live inside it. That formative experience became the philosophical backbone of the collection: the coexistence of strength and fragility.

A Wardrobe Built on Duality

Looking through the collection’s looks, it becomes clear that this philosophy has been woven into every last detail. Chunky knitwear, blanket skirts, and faux shearling coats envelop the body in warmth and weight, while beneath them, layers of lace, ruffles, and lingerie-inspired cuts trace the body’s softer contours.

A deep burgundy double-breasted coat with black lace spilling from its hem, and a white ruffle dress that envelops the wearer from head to toe — both capture the Ganni woman with precision: girlish, yet formidable.

The references to historical underwear — empire lines, waistcoats, suspenders — are equally deft, wrapped in heavy wool and architectural outerwear for a protective finish. Raw-cut edges and elongated metal zip pulls add a utilitarian note, ensuring the collection never tips entirely into romance.

The Mood in Color and Print

This season’s color palette is anchored in earthy neutrals — browns, beiges, and greys that recall soil and stone — punctuated by vivid strokes of green, purple, and yellow.

The burgundy and black velvet dresses, with white ruffles peering out from their hems, evoke the memory of lingerie and distill the collection’s central theme — lightness dwelling within weight — into a single look. The combination of a mustard yellow puff-sleeve jacket with a check skirt strikes a harmony between a fond regard for the past and a sharp, contemporary sense of proportion.

Leopard print returns this season, scaled up and reinterpreted against darker bases, layered boldly with florals and checks. When paired with a deep chocolate-brown shearling collar and knitted boot covers, the result is a world that is simultaneously wild and wholly feminine.

Accessories and Sustainability

On the accessories front, the Very Bou Bag arrives in a new silhouette, while the Kat Shoulder Bag — featuring a flap closure with the signature Ganni Butterfly Lock — makes a return in a faux shearling finish. The Jenny High Boot evolves from last season’s ballerina shoe DNA, now updated with a turned-down cuff and stud trim, and offered in a lower, slouchier version. Studded flat shoes appeared throughout the collection, lending a distinctly Ganni edge.

The brand’s commitment to sustainability continues alongside its B Corp recertification. Under the “Fabrics of the Future” initiative, leather alternatives Ohoskin® and Oleatex® — derived from the byproducts of orange and olive oil production — along with InResST®, a nylon regenerated from discarded ocean fishing nets, have been used in puffer jackets and soft accessories. The pursuit of beauty and responsibility in equal measure remains, as ever, a constant.

Hyperfemininity as Strength

“Living close to nature teaches you that strength and beauty can exist at the same time,” Reffstrup has said. The women who have long inspired her — writers, musicians, artists — carry both toughness and tenderness simultaneously, and have always refused to let femininity be reduced to a narrow definition.

This collection is the crystallization of that belief in cloth. The Ganni woman of Fall/Winter 2026 is unafraid to wear all of it: the weight and the lightness, the strength and the delicacy. She does not choose between them. She stands at their intersection — and that, precisely, is where her power lies.
