A stream of social media users have gushed about wanting to buy the collection and have left heart emojis under photos from the campaign
Miranda Holder, who is TV & Celebrity Expert and Founder of the Feelgood Fashion Coach, told FEMAIL she wasn’t surprised that Juicy Couture has been reimagined for a new generation.
Miranda said: ‘In fashion, the most interesting looks often comprise of the most surprising pairings, which may have been the inspiration for this most unlikely collaboration with Scandi fashion darling Ganni, and noughties It girl favourite, Juicy Couture.
‘The iconic velour tracksuits have been reimagined, this time with a generous serving of Ganni’s uber-cool aesthetic and thanks to the brand’s responsibility game plan, is the most responsibly produced version to date – with fabrics made from certified organic and recycled cotton, and recycled polyester.
Ditte Reffstrup of Ganni said Juicy Couture’s velour tracksuit is ‘truly a piece of pop culture history’ and they worked to make the most responsible version yet. Pictured left: £175 hoodie, right: £175 sweatshirt and £155 sweatpants
The collection was photographed in New York by Emmie America, who has worked with brands including Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton and Vogue

‘The fashionista’s appetite for Y2K nostalgia is currently strong, with mini skirts, chokers and handkerchief tops all making a recent comeback to the high street, so it was only a matter of time before the Juicy Couture Tracksuit, doubtlessly an iconic sartorial moment in pop culture history, was given a contemporary rework and embraced wholeheartedly by Generation Z.
‘The unusual match between the brands keeps it feeling fresh and interesting and follows several other conscious design partnerships between Ganni and other brands such as Levi’s and Vestiaire Collective.’
Celebrity Stylist, Ellis Ranson added: ‘The revival of the Noughties, will it take us a lot of courage to dig out our Velour tracksuits and low-rise denims? Or are we secretly crying out for the return of this trend? We have the GenZ’s and TikTok to thank for this. They have searched through the archives and resurfaced all of those guilty pleasures we’ve missed wearing.
Taryn Washenik of Juicy Couture said Ganni was a ‘natural fit’ to collaborate with because the brand is ‘effortlessly cool’
Ditte Reffstrup, who is Creative Director at Ganni, said they wanted to pair the essential 2000s mood and LA vibe with Ganni’s contemporary Scandi feel
‘As a stylist I’m forever searching for new brands to shop, but actually when you stop and look back at some past favourites, you really can recreate some amazing unique looks that will get your stylists the headlines.
‘I personally loved seeing what Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton were wearing daily, no matter how wrong or crazy it was. But now celebs are slowly reintroducing these trends back to the forefront and the high street and high-end brands are following suit, including Dua Lipa and Bella Hadid.
‘I will always look back through trends and style icons and feel more inspired than I do the current trends, especially with how fast paced trends are now and how accessible everything is with social media. Street Style for example is at a high with the likes of Hailey Bieber and Megan fox leading the way (with thanks to their stylist Maeve Reily who of course does her research).
‘It’s no surprise Juicy is resurfacing with their first go-to faces being Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton, as well as Urban Outfitters and Asos fronting Juicy’s new collection. It won’t be long until everyone is back in their best Juicy looks.
‘We always want to be one step ahead, but actually that means going back to the start and of course brands need to stay in the loop, and you can bet this season the Noughties will be bigger and better than they ever were before.’
London-based stylist to the stars Alexis Knox explained that trends go in 20-year cycles and the revival of noughties aesthetics comes from time spent looking for inspiration during lockdown.
Alexis said: ‘Trends are known to go in 20year cycles. Typically those that lived their youth in the 00s have now evolved into influential creators that are nostalgic and binging on their own child hoods for inspiration.

‘Alongside a generation that now have a digital time capsule in their finger tips with Pinterest and Instagram being a breeding ground for inspiration and references of icons for the 90s & 00s, for example the queen of influencers, Kim Kardashian, reminiscing on her years in Y2K hanging out with her bestie Paris Hilton.
‘All the brands we grew up idolising; like juicy couture, Ed Hardy, Von Dutch, are back – Re-sell sites like Depop make it easier than ever to track them down, And the fight for sustainable fashion has thrift shopping on the rise.
‘For every trend that fades the next trend is always a counter trend, people rebel against what they see in their feeds and the day to day. In order to feel unique and individual are doing the polar opposite; sick of having lived and breathed an idea for perhaps years, such as skinny high waisted jeans out, in true 00s style they are out and baggy low rise jeans in.
‘Digital high res bathroom selfies now feel contrived and blurry in the moment photo dumps are hitting up Instagram….a digital version of getting your disposable cameras images back after a messy 00s night out.
‘After two years of lockdown, living in lounge wear and stalking the internet for inspiring icons of the 00s people are finally able to dress up and go out out in our own version of the roaring 20s.’
