Hidden Valley Ranch Dips into Designer Fashion with Exclusive MELKE Collab

The collaboration includes custom ranch-inspired pieces created by MELKE designer, Emma Gage

OAKLAND, Calif., Feb. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the makers of Hidden Valley® Ranch announced its first-ever luxury fashion collaboration with American fashion designer Emma Gage of MELKE. The partnership hits the runways during New York Fashion Week, debuting custom, Hidden Valley Ranch-inspired pieces as part of MELKE's Fall/Winter 2025 line.

Spearheaded by designer and life-long ranch lover Emma Gage, the collab brings together two brands that like to think outside of the box. Gage tapped her Midwestern roots and love for potlucks and supper clubs as inspiration for the unique collaboration, intertwining MELKE's bold, nostalgic storytelling with the fun and flavorful Hidden Valley Ranch aesthetic that fans know and love.

"Hidden Valley Ranch has long been a staple in my house – both in my home state of Minnesota and now New York – and I've loved watching the brand modernize into a cultural icon that synchronizes seamlessly with the essence of my brand." said Emma Gage, Founder and Designer of MELKE. "Infusing facets of ranch as part of my Fall 2025 collection inspired by food and flavor of the Midwest was a must, and I'm thrilled Hidden Valley could be a part of it."

The Hidden Valley Ranch x MELKE collaboration includes five made-to-last, collectible pieces consisting of two cardigans, a knit vest, a blouse and a pair of pants. Gage reinterpreted both the iconic Hidden Valley Ranch bottle to create vibrant geometric patterns and the brand's seasoning packet for a whimsically artistic twist on family recipe nostalgia.

"MELKE's fall collection is an authentic, fun and fashionable way to express America's love for ranch during fashion week," said CC Ciafone, Marketing Director at Hidden Valley Ranch. "When we heard Emma was such a genuine fan of Hidden Valley, we knew the collection would come together as tastefully as ranch and potlucks." 

Pieces from the collection will be available for purchase on HiddenValleyRanch.com, melkenyc.com and select retailers nationwide this fall with prices ranging between $240 and $1,000.
