Hello everyone and welcome back to Talk of Town. I'm your host Mars Lovejoy and we are here at the top of Copenhagen with the one and only Ditte Reffstrup. How are you?
D
Ditte Reffstrup0:14
I'm fine, very excited about tomorrow.
M
Mars Lovejoy0:16
Oh me too. Okay, so if you don't know, I'm going to let you know. Ditte is the creative director and co-founder of Ganni. Her vision and strong fashion sensibility has transformed Ganni into an international fashion brand. With her design, she wants the people who wear her clothes to feel the most confident version of themselves. And do I look confident? Am I acting confident? Yes, I am. That's because I'm wearing all Ganni. So thank you.
D
Ditte Reffstrup0:43
You are cute. That was so sweet of you guys, thank you so much.
M
Mars Lovejoy0:48
All right, we're going to start off with an icebreaker because we haven't spent that much time together. This is our first meet, and I want to give you the chance to interview me, and we'll take it from there.
D
Ditte Reffstrup1:00
Fantastic. Very exciting. Okay, so we're going to pull from the cute little Ganni beret.
M
Mars Lovejoy1:08
Oh no no no no no no!
D
Ditte Reffstrup1:10
Okay, so what's the best thing you've got going on in your life at the moment?
M
Mars Lovejoy1:17
Okay, other than being here with you and hosting this incredible Talk of Town, I am three months pregnant and I am very excited about it.
D
Ditte Reffstrup1:26
So that is so cool. Breaking news. Congratulations!
M
Mars Lovejoy1:32
Thank you. We're having number three. Number three baby, and I'm done after that.
D
Ditte Reffstrup1:37
Yes. I can recommend that. No more.
M
Mars Lovejoy1:41
Um, okay. Any embarrassing fashion moments you can share?
D
Ditte Reffstrup1:50
I'm going to grab the mic for this one. There is a lot, but there is especially one. It was when Ganni was nominated at the Elle Style Award and we were nominated in two categories. One of them was for the best fashion show. And then we won and I thought that we won the best fashion show award, so I was doing this speech and saying thank you so much to the team and all the people who worked on the show. And then Nicola was like, 'I'm so sorry,' but I thought that we won for the fashion show and we actually won for something completely different. So that was a little bit embarrassing in front of everybody.
M
Mars Lovejoy2:30
Yes! Oh okay, obviously. Well, you know what, at least he didn't have you go out looking that crazy. Can you tell us where we are and what we're doing?
D
Ditte Reffstrup2:43
I can tell you that we are on the highest hill in Copenhagen.
M
Mars Lovejoy2:48
Oh, that's what I'm going to tell. Okay, that's something, that's something. So get your Googles up, people. Um, let's talk about the collection, Higher Love. I've seen it, um, it's fabulous. And what does Higher Love mean to you?
D
Ditte Reffstrup3:05
It's very simple. It means Higher Love to life and yourself.
