Over the past two years, the aesthetics and history of rave culture have returned to fashion with a fair amount of overbearance.
The revival of this movement has involved many aspects of our contemporary world. For example, the Saatchi Gallery in London presented a retrospective of art related to the rave scene, while the Tate Modern dedicated an exhibition to British artist Mark Leckey, famous for his videos that draw on elements of pop culture. His 1999 film Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore is a collage of footage from the British underground dance scene of the 70s, 80s and 90s. The fashion and streetwear worlds inevitably sensed this comeback and rode the wave.

Palace, after the collaboration with EVISU with which he paid homage to the British club culture, continues with this thread presenting the capsule collection in collaboration with the British rave artist Steven “Pez” Perry.

Pez’s work related to the British rave scene developed between the late 80’s and 90’s, quickly becoming the distinctive aesthetic trait of the entire rave culture and clubbing in general, creating flyers and artwork for major events.
The inspiration for his works comes directly from the book written by Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfont, Subway Art, which documents the beginnings of the graffiti movement in New York, gaining considerable success in the UK.

The capsule collection in collaboration with Palace pays homage to the work of Pez through the most significant works of the artist, which find space on a series of items of the London skate brand.

Below you can take a look at the Palace x Pez collection that will be released on Friday, October 22 in stores in London and New York and through the brand’s web shop.
