ABOUT THIS PIECE
Asymmetric pleats cut diagonally across the body before opening up in dynamic stepped hemline skirt on the Hold Close dress. Complementing this energy is an asymmetric collar and neckline that flows into a button stand which closes on the side of the body. Slim sleeves and a classic cuff finish this shirt, making it the perfect addition to your everyday wardrobe.
This piece is made in a classic cotton poplin stripe, combining a touch of masculinity with feminine cuts that provides a perfect contrast of details within one garment.
____________________________
INSPIRATION
Tight pleats around the waist explode into volume above and below. Representing confessed vulnerabilities that draw the other closer in a delicate synchronicity as two separate lives become entwined.
The collection is inspired by the emotions experienced in new relationships. That nervous energy which races through your body causing a surge of excitement as if you are about to explode.

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.
