Vertigo Collection
Optical knitwear that turns Palmer’s pattern work into motion.
Story & heritage
The official fashion archive includes Vertigo, and NOT JUST A LABEL identifies AW 2012 Vertigo among Palmer’s previous collections.
The title fits the designer’s documented interest in pattern, form and shape: the collection’s archive images focus on kinetic knit surfaces and directional silhouettes.
Materials & craft
Vertigo uses engineered pattern placement and garment shape together, making the knit construction part of the optical effect rather than a neutral base.
How to choose & style
Treat these archived Alice Palmer pieces as visual anchors rather than current retail basics: the strongest looks need little styling beyond clean shoes, minimal jewellery and room for the engineered knit pattern to read.
For a contemporary edit, choose the quieter silhouettes when the pattern is loud, or use the more sculptural pieces as gallery-like evening statements.
