Palmer Harding Resort 2025 Collection Lookbook
Matthew Harding and Levi Palmer were finding sunshine inside their London studio, despite the storm that was brewing outside. A colorful representation of their growing polyamorous love, their Resort 2025 collection is a monument to the power of human development.
Capturing the emotional maelstrom of a new love is the collection's goal, not only its beauty. Trench-waisted emerald crepe dresses allude to the meeting of bodies, while architectural denim jackets with pleated accents give off butterflies in the stomach. A growing crush is suggested by shirt features like tilted plackets and necklines.
Palmer Harding's characteristic large, sculptural forms perfectly balance these intimate touches, conveying the vast nature of a new connection.
In addition to their personal experiences, Harding's new partner provided an unexpected source of inspiration. Key pieces were informed by his impromptu line drawings that captured the fear blossoming into exhilaration. This "fit and release" idea is exemplified by a flowing button-down, a nipped-waist silver lamé gown, and a belted shirtdress with dramatic batwing sleeves.
Palmer acknowledges that "it's strange," but that "talking openly has been refreshing." Even when it's personal, we text each other about design ideas."
