- Lululemon and Ganni are releasing a 22-piece collaboration on Oct. 15, inspired by 1980s dance films and including leg warmers, boleros, and headbands that merge Lululemon's technical fabrics with Ganni's leopard prints, ruffled trims, and bold colors.
- Jennifer Beals, the star of 1983's 'Flashdance,' and singer-dancer METTE are fronting the 'Joy Is a Power Move' campaign, which features a short film shot in a dance studio.
- Ganni creative director Ditte Reffstrup called '80s dance movies a natural starting point and said the collection mixes Ganni's signatures (leopard, frills) with Lululemon's 'world of movement.'
- The collection includes Ganni-styled versions of Lululemon's popular Define Jacket and pieces made with Lululemon's proprietary Nulu and Softstreme fabrics, designed for comfort and flexibility.
- The Ganni x Lululemon lineup will be available at lululemon.com and ganni.com, plus select retail stores across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
Why it matters: This is Lululemon's latest high-fashion crossover, following past collaborations with designers like Robert Geller and Peloton's earlier partnerships, signaling the activewear giant's push into fashion-driven, nostalgia-tinged capsule drops. With Ganni bringing leopard prints and ruffles to performance staples like the Define Jacket, the Oct. 15 launch gives both brands a runway moment aimed at consumers who want technical gear with editorial flair.
