“Cheetah Girls” meets “mob wives” meets “Flashdance.”
These are just a few of the words our commerce editors are using to describe the new Ganni x Lululemon collaboration, which launched this morning, October 15.
Lululemon is no stranger to a designer collab — Roksanda Ilincic, Robert Geller, Saul Nash and more have all crafted capsule collections for the athleisure brand. But the latest Ganni partnership is nothing like anything we’ve seen before from Lululemon. Expect 80s-inspired pieces à la “Dirty Dancing,” with a touch of Copenhagen street style.
Shop 22 fun, flirty and bold activewear pieces, most of which are crafted in Ganni’s iconic leopard. The designs feature ruffles, nostalgic off-the-shoulder silhouettes and mesh accents. Lululemon’s signature Define jacket and stretchy Nulu leggings take on an unexpected twist that’ll make fellow gym goers look twice when passing by.
The campaign is appropriately spearheaded by “Flashdance” star Jennifer Beals and dancer METTE. The duo joined forces in a video captured from a dance studio, showcasing the new collection in a tribute to the 80s.
There is also a “Club Dance” pop-up shop in New York City’s Williamsburg timed to the launch. Under neon lights, attendees can explore racks of clothing while jamming out to DJs and dance crews. For three days, guests can also take part in exclusive dance classes with top instructors and choreographers during the daytime or nighttime.
“80s dance movies have been part of my life since I was a child, so they felt like such a natural starting point,” said Ditte Reffstrup, Creative Director at Ganni, said in a press release. “I’ve always been drawn to the energy, determination and sense of freedom in those films, and the way dance becomes such a powerful form of self-expression. For the collection, we brought that 80s dance energy into the colors and details, then mixed it with Ganni signatures like leopard and frills, and Lululemon’s world of movement.”
“It all comes from movement. When we first started talking about the collection, Ditte said her movement practice was dance, and everything flowed from there,” Jonathan Cheung, Global Creative Director at Lululemon, added. “What I love about this collection is its use of our technical materials combined with the iconic Ganni style.”
