All The Killer Dresses We Predict You’ll Be Obsessed With From Ganni AW19

Ganni has become the unofficial uniform of the fashion community with the likes of Susie Lau, Leandra Medine and Lisa Aiken willing to drop everything and fly to Denmark to see the latest collection. Undoubtedly it’s their dresses that lure in most of their fans. Be they polka dot or floral, broderie anglaise or lurex, the label emits its synonymous with frocks. At Copenhagen Fashion Week, creative director Ditte Reffstrup said for autumn winter 19 she wanted to double down on their previous efforts and, ‘really go all out for the killer dresses. Mixing prints and references from near and far.’

Referencing the collection’s name, ‘Life on Earth’, the opening look was a long-sleeve sequined frock decorated with a large, moody looking image of the globe. It was soon followed by a reboot of the band’s cult wrap dress, this season with a shorter hemline and in a moire silk or translated into a sleeveless waistcoat dress with a side tie. For evening a liquid silk black dress (teamed with wide leather trousers) was as appealing as a sequin sheaf worn over a denim button-down.

Skirts, like the frocks, got shorter. Mini bubble skirts were aimed at the party crowd while a series of leather apron skirts made the case for daywear. On the topic of separates, there was an increased attention to shirts - designed to be worn beneath dresses and blazers. Perhaps Scandinavia’s colder climate dictated the design, but layering was a core component of this collection with leggings and polo necks, like the shirts, styled with the hero pieces of the range.

Models walked out to the soundtrack of David Attenborough’s velvety voice discussing animal mating methods and a backdrop of photojournalist Ami Vitale’s reportage images. There was a conscious drive towards sustainability from Ganni who noted that the collection’s carbon footprint is being offset by carbon credits.

To whet your appetite for autumn, here's the whole collection:
