Gucci and Palace Team Up for High-low, Logo-heavy Collaboration for Vault

Image
MILAN — Gucci’s hype-chasing approach to collaborations is hitting British streetwear. The luxury house’s creative director Alessandro Michele is teaming with Palace Skateboards and its founders Levent Tanju and Gareth Skewis for a collection dropping exclusively on Gucci Vault, the Italian label’s experimental online space launched in 2021 that’s dedicated to vintage, curation of designer items and special drops. After the Adidas x Gucci collaboration for fall presented on the runway last February, Gucci is again toying with its logo and house codes, reimagining them for a youthful audience and adding the emblems and logo of Palace. It debuts following speculation in recent days on online media outlets and social media accounts devoted to streetwear about the two teaming up.

  Gucci are once again making its mark on football fashion Palace and Gucci might not seem like natural collaborators. One is a London-based streetwear brand, while the other is one of Italy’s most famous luxury labels. In recent years, though, the gap between the two had narrowed and their recently-announced collection is neither surprising nor unexpected.

The first shirt nods to Gucci’s Italian roots, with the national team’s iconic blue covered with Gucci’s double G monogram and a gold sponsor-style logo. The Italian influence continues onto another of the shirts, which sports Gucci’s green and red colours in a Hechter-style stripe down the centre of its white base. Both of these shirts also feature a special Palazzo Gucci club crest. The

  Palace and Gucci just put the streetwear world in a headlock with a surprise collaboration that expertly blends the aesthetics of both brands across an extensive apparel range that includes three football jerseys. Palace have long had a reputation for diving into the Serie A archives for inspiration within their seasonal drops so when the opportunity came to work with one of the most prominent Italian fashion houses in the world, it was always going to go in this direction. All three jerseys carry hallmarks of the Gucci brand and touch points from jersey culture to create a trifecta of statement pieces. The first drops in an all-blue colourway and features Gucci’s “Knight” logo – which the brand used between 1955-1992 – in the spot usually reserved for club crests. The second drops in a clean white colourway and features Gucci’s signature red and green stripes running through the centre of the jersey, akin to Chelsea’s away kit in 03/04 or many contemporary PSG shirts. The third jers
