PALACE VIVIENNE WESTWOOD
Born from the subversive and political spirit shared by both the British design house, Vivienne Westwood and British Skate brand, PALACE, their first collection, featuring clothing, accessories, jewellery and skateboards, is built upon respective house codes, with culture and humour at the heart of the designs.

‘From the first day I went to Palace years ago, I liked what they are doing. Their designs are made with quality, they are accessible and democratic. It felt natural for us to join forces, it was a very playful exercise and it was a pleasure working with the team and making new friends.’

Underscoring the disruptive spirit of both houses the campaign reflects the nature of the collection, photographed by Shoichi Aoki, the founder of Japanese street-style magazine FRUITS. An innovator and icon, Shoichi depicts the collision between fashion and the street; his documentation of the characters he encountered in Tokyo proved a precursor to street style imagery.
For the PALACE VIVIVENNE WESTWOOD campaign, a bold cast that embodies the spirit of both brands was shot in the unique style of the legendary zine. Artists, musicians, skaters, goths and activists converge, flaunting the collection in their own unique style. They include; US rappers and singers Semetary and Matt OX, 90’s model and activist, Sibyl Buck, model couple Ed Teller and Issa Lish, Palace rider Lucien Clarke as well as DJ and singer Josh Café amongst others.
“Collaborating with Vivienne Westwood, it’s a massive thing for us: we love them, and we always have. To bring this collection to life was a dream come true and we wanted to shoot the collection in London, our shared home. Palace is independent, Vivienne Westwood is independent, and we admire independence.”
Lev Tanju – Palace co-founder
In keeping with the foundations of FRUITS, Shoichi shot the campaign in the streets of London. From the arcades of Soho to Chinatown, a vintage store in Camden and a souvenir store on the edge of Shaftesbury Avenue; a celebration of the undercurrent of the street.
“Working with Andreas Kronthaler and the entire Vivienne Westwood team has been an incredible experience. Vivienne Westwood has long been a massive inspiration to me, particularly through the brand’s ever-evolving creative output. We are immensely proud to have collaborated with such an iconic British brand. This collection is a true reflection of our shared values and influences, bringing together two distinct perspectives united by a common ground of independent thought, all with a uniquely London twist.”
Gareth Skewis – Palace co-founder
The campaign will be collated into a limited-edition zine, available for free with purchase in store.
