Off the back of a tennis-themed collaboration with Stella Artois, London skate firm Palace has peeled back the curtain on the 2000s nostalgia extravaganza in store for its Autumn 2024 collection, set to launch next week.
Shot by Dominic Marley, Palace’s latest lookbook shows off a mix of attention grabbing standouts and functional, everyday bits perfect for the transition to the Autumn Winter seasons.
With a focus on easy-going outerwear, Palace covers the sports, military-inspired and straight-up esoteric niches, always keeping a nostalgic eye to the trends of the 90s & 2000s including faux fur, trucker style hats and even a coy nod to the iconic Beanie Baby branding on a mohair blend heart crew jumper.
Visual standouts include the faux fur type III trucker jacket, sky blue scuba hoodie and baggy jeans decorated with a gothic Palace script across the rear.
Another highlight is the MA1 denim flight two piece featuring embossed back branding which flips the script on the classic, military bomber jacket, hiding the bright orange nylon detail beneath zippable gussets.
Realtree camo lends their famous forest-derived prints to a set of jackets, carpenter pants and a panelled shirt inspired by recreational shooters and inconspicuous characters alike.
Solo camo garb includes a boxy GORE-TEX Shell jacket with a stowable hood and embossed detailing that can be paired with a matching cap and balaclava, plus a bold combination of beige, brown and black that features on a funnel neck zip jacket, where more classic variations are applied to a piped Polartec tracksuit and branded mesh jersey.
Palace’s love for reimagining the uniforms of real-world sports teams continue and straying away from mimicking the great Inter Milan, the brand is turning to a legend of the Argentine circuit with a Boca Juniors inspired tracksuit, also tipping its hat to La Liga constant Valencia FC.
Sporty references also materialise on the Harlequin rugby, Americana Baseball jerseys and “P” wool varsity jacket complete with an appliqué hood and stacked front branding.
A full preview of the Palace Autumn ’24 collection is expected to drop next week, with the first release of the season available Friday, 9th August at 11:00am GMT, available via the brand’s webstore and physical locations.
