Oh and the peacock feathered suit was killer. See it, and our other favorite looks from backstage at the presentation, below.
In this collection, the brand’s metallic tops act as sculptures of foliage, with handsy tree branches and spiraling leaves that bring attention to the intertwinement of the natural world and the futuristic one. The biomorphic designs brilliantly utilize natural elements as symbols of constancy while using contemporary materials and textures to see these stories through. Other pieces in the collection offer sleek layering, carefully curated moments of sheerness, detailing that resembles cracks in the earth or in stone, etc.
“Future Relics” also features keys, combs, knives, and padlocks, introducing anecdotes of scavenging through antiques and seeking understanding of the world at large by searching for the objects that come out of it and questioning their mortality. The angular silhouettes and flowy fabrics that facilitate the movement shown on the runway work to redefine femininity as a state of intelligence and strength, encompassing both the “innocent and savage” personalities of the femme style.
The campaign is gorgeously shot on Barry Island in Wales by Lev Tanju, the founder and creative director of Palace. The British seaside elegantly backdrops a scene of coastal enjoyment and an indulgence in peace, laughter, and connection. The shots, immediately nostalgic in nature, perpetuate the idea of life as something we partake in. It is an act of engaging with simplicity.
This collaboration features three colorways of the twin-tipped Fred Perry Shirt, including white, navy, and dusty blue. All of which create a relaxed and cultured aesthetic. There is also a twin-tipped full tracksuit, elevated by detailed embroidery that beautifies the Palace logo and adds delicate pops of complementary color. The Argyle Cardigan in peacot navy is a jovial take on the British staple, adding in bright violet-colored diamonds that signal a stride into a more fluorescent world of sporting and the pursuit of enlightenment. The Long Sleeve Knitted Shirt is a continuation of this journey into the world of cultivated play. Palace Fred Perry is available online starting September 12th, and in-store starting September 16th.
