Skate brand Palace riffs on Westwood's archives for new collection

The British design house Vivienne Westwood and the London skate brand Palace are both known for their distinct and disruptive approaches to fashion.

Now the two are combining their rebellious forces as they team up on a capsule collection.

Launching on Friday, the collection includes clothing, jewellery, accessories and skateboards. The designs were "born from the subversive and political spirit shared by both [brands]" and "built upon respective house codes, with culture and humour at the heart of the designs", the companies said.

Westwood died in 2022 at 81 and the brand is now led by her husband, Andreas Kronthaler. Palace was co-founded in London in 2009 by Lev Tanju and Gareth Skewis and has grown from an underground skate brand to a global streetwear business.
