Submission Beauty plays dress-up with Ganni

As the saying goes; birds of a feather flock together… It was clear to us from the very beginning that fashion powerhouse GANNI would be an ideal playmate for Submission Beauty: We simply see the world through the same lens. For the story below, we summoned a few of our favorite New York creatives to play with the GANNI PS22 Holiday collection and Pale Pink – the newest addition to our glitter library.

At Submission, we like to believe we approach fashion and beauty from the same perspective as what we’ve observed from our friends at GANNI: It is entirely possible be creators in the fashion and beauty space with a forward thinking, innovative and importantlyplayfuland free-spirited mind. Operating at the intersection where responsible, sustainable and earth-friendly meets colorful, bold and left-of-center is so close to our hearts and we love walking along the same path with our friends from Copenhagen.

“What is important is being able to have those conversations. To feel like you can sit down and say “hey, I know what you’re saying!” or maybe like “The GANNI PS22 collection is pure escapism, conceived during the darker days of the pandemic where we were all dreaming of somewhere to go dancing, somewhere outside of our lockdown kitchen dancefloor. The clothes are sophisticated, yet uncomplicated – eye-catching but effortless and have a sense of ease. It’s a more subtle way to shine, one that still ensures all eyes are on you – a spirit that goes hand in hand with our approach to a fun beauty look at submission.” ZENIA JAEGER, Founder, Submission Beauty

“I feel like after everything we have been through, people will rediscover dressing up to express themselves. This urge for dancing, partying, dreaming yourself away from reality. It made me think, sometimes a good party and letting go is just what you need.” – Ditte Reffstrup, Creative Director, GANNI

“It might sound a bit superficial to some people, but since I was a kid growing up in the middle of nowhere, clothes have had the power to magically transport me, to pick up my mood. For me, a dancing dress with big ruffles and tassels that shimmy when you move to the music can be a strong antidote to feeling down.” – Ditte Reffstrup, Creative Director, GANNI

Why GANNI and Submission Beauty play so well together: 

• We are both committed to a responsible and sustainable approach to production, and everyone is included – all bodies, ages, genders and expressions

• At Submission Beauty we are always transparent about every step of our process and never hide any ingredients: our glitter is made from eucalyptus, it’s aluminium-free and biodegradable. We never use any plastic, from containers and packaging to our shipping materials. No plastic ever.

• GANNI is working towards 100% responsible, proven lower impact materials across the entire brand. Their Holiday collection is 78% responsible, using materials such as organic silk, post-consumer recycled wool and certified organic cotton

• We both believe that the future of beauty and fashion must have a low impact on the earth and is produced responsibly. Sustainable thinking does not have to look boring : it can be fun, bold, visionary, and extremely colorful.

“When deciding on our next color for Submission Beauty Glitter, I thought pale pink was an exciting and unexpected choice of color for a launch this time of year. You often think of gold and silver looks for the holidays, but I think pink is just as versatile. It’s a subtly sophisticated shade of pink, too, and mixes beautifully with the other colors in our glitter range. For the holidays, I suggest trying the pale pink glitter on top of your favorite lip gloss or pink lipstick. It’s an unusual pop of sparkle – as our glitter is FDA approved to wear on your lips, unlike conventional glitter  😉 “ ZENIA JAEGER, Founder, Submission Beauty
