ABOUT THIS PIECE
Be ready to turn heads when you walk in any room wearing the Encompass Gown.
It has a striking silhouette that commands attention with its full and gathered sleeves, floor length voluminous skirt and cinched belt.
Little black crystal buttons finish the detailing around the neckline.
Crafted in a beautiful textured taffeta with tinsel tufts floating like an aura around you and reflecting the light. You will sparkle with every step as you enjoy your next event wearing this exquisite piece.
This crisp and structured taffeta is light and architectural. On the outside of the fabric there are woven threads of tinsel that float like a aura around the fabric as it moves.
____________________________
INSPIRATION
Abstract circular motifs in the pattern cutting cast dramatic shapes, reflecting the universal desire for fulfilment while urging wearers to revel in the beauty of the journey.
In the pursuit of completeness, individuals often find themselves caught in a perpetual cycle, rushing through the journey in anticipation of finding ultimate happiness at its end. However, the truth lies in embracing the incompleteness of life and cherishing each moment along the way. AW24 is a gentle reminder to embrace the beauty of incompleteness and savour the richness of each moment as we traverse life's intricate pathways.

ABOUT THE DESIGNERS
palmer//harding launched in 2011 with the simple idea to elevate the humble shirt.
We believe in originality and creativity, and these fundamentals are at the heart and soul of each palmer//harding piece.
Levi Palmer (Belton, Texas) and Matthew Harding (London, England), both alumni of Londons’ Central Saint Martins, live and work in London.
We approach each collection by examining the emotional journeys that we experience, and creating narratives through verb lists which are in turn used to drape and sculpt shapes with fabric across the body.
The sculptural aspect of the design process is an integral part of the brands’ identity - creating unique pieces, centred on the shirt, but also developed across dresses, outerwear, knitwear and other categories.
Each palmer//harding piece has a unique story to tell, which can be discovered in the "About this Piece" section.
