Palace Collaborates With Elton John to Celebrate His Legendary Career
Featuring reworked imagery, velour tracksuits and even an Elton John board.
Palace has followed up last month’s Reebok Classics collaboration by linking up with Bravado for a special licensed collection alongside Elton John. The collection celebrates his legacy and legendary music career, while also tapping into Palace’s signature skate aesthetics.
The stand-out piece in the collection is a retro velour tracksuit, which sports both “EJ” and palace branding, and arrives in either white or navy with a lurex side stripe. Other items include a knitted jumper featuring an image of Elton, as well as short and long-sleeve T-shirts featuring iconic pictures of him from across his career.
Rounding out the collection, and complementing the apparel, Palace also introduces a special Elton John board, and a rug featuring a doctored woven image of him on stage at Dodger Stadium.
Speaking about the collection, Elton said, “I’m so excited about my forthcoming collaboration with Palace. I’m always looking to the future, but the range brings back some fantastic memories – It really captures the essence of youth and freedom from my time on the road in the ‘70’s. I’ve never been a skateboarder but that’s not going to stop me wearing the lot.”
The Elton John collection from Palace and Bravado is due to release via Palace’s web store and its locations in London, New York and Los Angeles on March 11. On March 12, it will release in Japan and via WeChat.
