Palmer Harding’s Spring 2027 ready-to-wear collection marks two milestones for the label: 15 years in business and its 60th full collection. The anniversary prompted the designers to take stock of the pieces that have resonated most with customers and develop them in new shapes and categories.
A recent shift toward direct sales helped inform that approach. The brand opened a retail space inside its East London studio, creating a closer connection between the designers, their clothes and customers. Matthew Harding said the experience has brought back some of the interaction the pair felt when they first started the business.
Cotton shirts and shirt dresses emerged as the collection’s central pieces. The “Intention” shirt, first introduced two seasons ago, returns in plain and striped cotton, as well as a full-length dress. Its oversized sleeve features articulated pleating that gives it a curved shape.
The collection also brings back the asymmetrical “Super” shirt, with a tie-front and cape-like back. Another standout, the “Precision” shirt, uses criss-cross pleating around the waist to create a close, sculptural line.
Beyond cotton, the offering includes a denim take on the “Intention” silhouette and a ruby satin dress with flowing poet sleeves. The collection continues Palmer Harding’s approach of transforming familiar fabrics and garments through sculptural cuts and draping.
