PALMER HARDING PRE-FALL 2023

In the midst of chaos, calm becomes our guiding light. Inspired by gratitude for simplicity and ease, the PALMER//HARDING pre-fall 23 collection takes us on a journey into serenity amongst the ever-growing noise of the outside world.

The collection emerges engulfed in a frenzy of movement, ever-changing and unpredictable, a reference to the unsettling and uncertain world around us. In this cloud of rage, the palmer /hardingwoman embodies a certain tranquillity, presented through the clean lines and architectural shapes of her clothing. She’s not oblivious to the outside world; instead, she is focused on offsetting the chaos of her surroundings by finding a feeling of inner peace.

Soft A-line silhouettes run through the collection in serene forms. Comfort and ease in day dressing are the main points of view here. These simple notions are matching shirt and trouser sets in cotton poplin, textured and stripped linen blends and artisanal denim in calming shades of white, ivory, sky and steel blue and navy. These sets offer a modern approach to women’s suiting free from the rigid conventions of traditional tailoring. Intentionally uncomplicated, this relaxed mindset to dressing provides a polished and sophisticated look that reads highly considered yet simultaneously makes dressing effortless.

Though visually effortless, the collection still maintains the mindful approach to detailing that is to be expected of palmer//harding. Buttoning, which has become a calling card for the brand, continues subtly across shoulders and hemlines, creating transformable clothing that allows you to play with the styling of each piece.

As the collection progresses, we transition into more statement cotton, sensual knits, satin dresses and separates that create nonchalant offerings for the evening. Rich hues of golden satin stripes, navy, ochre, black and slate are positioned in a peaceful painterly set to match the refinement of the palmer//harding woman. Throughout the collection, palmer//harding aims to provide a true life of luxury; one lived decisively in peaceful simplicity without the unnecessary stressors of daily life.
