The world stopped two days ago, just at the moment when Palace shared the first teaser announcing its partnership with Vivienne Westwood. An alliance that no one expected but that we all needed (without knowing it). Now, the full lookbook and the first details about the launch have been revealed.

Judging by the images revealed, both disruptive universes coincide in a series of apparel, jewellery, bags, accessories and even skateboards, adorned with the emblems of both brands. The Salon print, which marked Vivienne Westwood‘s SS92 season, returns to take over a GORE-TEX jacket, skirt and tracksuit bottoms.

‘From the first day I went to Palace, years ago, I liked what they were doing,’ says the fashion house’s creative director, Andreas Kronthaler. ‘Their designs are quality made, accessible and democratic. It felt natural to join forces, it was a very playful exercise and it was a pleasure to work with the team and make new friends,’ he adds.

The special collaboration will hit Palace‘s website and physical shops in the UK, Europe and the US on Friday 6 September. Set your alarms if you don’t want to miss out on your favourite piece.
