Ganni
Ganni is a Danish contemporary ready-to-wear fashion brand. Founded in 2000 by gallerist Frans Truelsen, it started gaining cult popularity as a designer label in the late 2010s under the tutelage of husband-and-wife duo Nicolaj Reffstrup and Ditte Reffstrup. History 
Ganni was founded by Frans Truelsen as a line of cashmere apparel in 2000. In 2009, the Reffstrups took over the company with Ditte Reffstrup serving as creative director and Nicolaj Reffstrup as CEO. Ditte Reffstrup started her career as a clothes buyer for Danish and Parisian brands. Nicolaj Reffstrup, who graduated from Copenhagen Business School and earned his master's degree at IT University of Copenhagen, is a former technology entrepreneur. Private equity firm L Catterton acquired a 51% stake in the company in 2017.

Business model 
Ganni is described by fashion analysts as a luxury brand with lower-end prices, sitting between fast-fashion retailer Zara and high-fashion brand Dior, also known as a "sweet spot". Though it is considered a success for the brand, Nicolaj Reffstrup contends that not raising their prices causes major distribution issues because of its middling price range, having chosen to drop 100 accounts even if Ganni is the best-selling brand of the retailer. Ganni remains one of the top 20 best-selling brands on luxury e-tailer Net-a-Porter. By 2017, the brand's annual revenue was £35 million, and as of 2019 it was £75 million. Products 
The company's main fashion house focuses on ready-to-wear T-shirt, pants, silhouettes, elasticized straps, waistbands, and ruching. Campaign
