The Andalusian shows his latest collection, in which he flirts with the queer after covering the clothes from his mother’s wardrobe
Palomo’s latest collection, ‘The Closet’, presents an introspective conversation with our childhood selves. An Alejandro who discovers for the first time a powerful relationship with the world of beauty, which he will analyze from an early age with a privileged sensitivity, the characteristic feature that will define his peculiar vision of men’s fashion.
Back in New York City, Palomo presents his fall-winter 2023/2024 collection after an aesthetic inquiry into a stage of childhood in which the designer contextualizes the first layers of personality formation, with the first interactions with the clothing, which often takes place furtively exploring the closet of mothers.
The Palomo boy is unknowingly experimenting with the barriers of gender conventionality, playing with towels, silk scarves, quilts, blankets, and other household items to build an elevated self-image that flirts with queerness. These, which were the initial images of a “primitive” Palomo look, will be professionalized over time until they reach a new level of sophistication.
The drama and aesthetic bombast that characterizes the designer’s work, present in voluminous pieces in the form of coats reminiscent of cocoons created from the quilt from the house of a very young creative, coexist with simpler pieces that correspond to the most street style. from the house
With bright colors that take us to a gay Alice in Wonderland, a delicate work with draping on tops and long dresses that the styling by Alicia Padrón is combined with fine mesh shirts, blouses made with vortexes of fabrics in floral prints, knit scarves with rustic reminiscences and (artificial) fur miniskirts that elongate the model’s figure, bringing a new (even more) fashionista breath to the designer’s proposal.
For accessories, Palomo recovers the most representative silhouettes of the house, giving them new colors, in the case of the “Castellana” briefcase bag, and launching a selection of heeled shoes in loafer, ankle boots and boot versions on our wishlist, which contrasted with other models from the firm Puma, the most recent collaborator of Palomo.
In its most brilliant facet, Palomo dazzles us with Swarovski crystal pieces dotted throughout the collection, an exercise that culminates with jewelry from the brand’s new collection that has already become its best ally.
The headpieces, the work of Ruslan Baginskiy, are inspired by genderless fun and childhood memories. Putting a pillow on your head, making a towel cape, appropriating the shapes and materials that surround you.
