Ahluwalia’s first 19-piece womenswear collection made in collaboration with GANNI. A key narrative of the exclusive collection is both brands’ affinity for partying and imagery from Ahluwalia's family archive. All pieces have all been designed and made using GANNI's surplus materials and leftover styles.

Foundation
AW19 uses deadstock through traditional techniques to create a collection that explores the idea of passing pieces on through generations and giving the garment new life. The unique patchwork process means that no two pieces in the collection are the same.
