Palomo Spain Presents “All OF Heaven’s Parties”
Palomo Spain presented the Spring/Summer 2025 collection at Fourth Universalist Society in New York City. Titled “All of Heaven’s Parties”, for this collection Alejandro Gómez Palomo continues his exploration into the intricate interplay between human sexuality and rationality, delving deeper into the realm of sexual expression as an art form and way of living.
Following his Spring/Summer 2024 runway show, which delved into the theme of sexual encounters within floral gardens, he now embarks on a journey to investigate the sinful conception of lust, desire and attraction within a heavenly space. All Of Heaven’s Parties is an imaginary construction that sets parties in heaven as a conversation opener on why everything that is associated with our pleasure and instinct is deemed sinful.
“Why are emotions so intrinsic to our humanity — like lust, desire, and attraction — condemned with the threat of hell? If these feelings are woven into the fabric of our nature, why must they be denied in the pursuit of heaven? How can something so inherently human be deemed sinful?”, said Alejandro Gómez Palomo.
While finding inspiration for his latest collection, Alejandro uncovered the captivating work of Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki, who skillfully blends the aesthetic of kinbaku-bi bondage art with sensual imagery of flowers. Through Araki’s artistry, Alejandro discovers the realization he has been seeking: the ability to transcend mere animal instinct and elevate sex into a meaningful and intentional form of artistic expression. Furthermore, he merges these concepts with those of Helmut Newton, drawing inspiration from Newton’s iconic style and delving into the glamorous and sensual atmosphere of the 1920s to explore silhouettes, characters, and narratives.
The collection features different textures with the re-introduction of classic fabrics seen throughout Palomo Spain collections including denim, taffeta, and silk organza. Alejandro utilizes several techniques that are rooted closely in his Spanish heritage such as the silk fringes and handmade embroidery. When it comes to the silhouettes, the Spring/Summer 2025 looks are characterized by micro shorts and dress shirts with oversized cuffs and collars. The color palette is centered around white and black base colors with hints of tobacco brown, orange, purple, and denim blue carefully layered with delicate embroidered fringes, oversized sequins, and Swarovski crystals.
Elevating Palomo’s new summer dream, designer Alejandro G Palomo opted to emphasize the importance of a beauty look well aligned with the main concepts of his newest work.
The make-up artist, Marcelo Gutierrez, led the beauty creative with the support of the MAC cosmetics teams and worked on delicate yet striking skins with feathered accents.
Hair Styling, under the leadership of Laurent Philippon sponsored by Redken / Cutler, conceived polished and refined hairstyles that contrasted the colorful ostrich feathers wigs, a creation by Tolentino Hats, one of Palomo’s longtime collaborators.
Notable attendees included Bb trickz, Valentina Ferrer, Violet Chachki, Aquaria, Dascha Polanco, Honey Balenciaga, Rickey Thompson, Amanda Lepore, Amaia and Judeline.
BIMBA Y PALOMO
The Palomo Spain runway show also unveiled an exclusive see-now-buy-now capsule collection with Spanish womenswear brand Bimba y Lola, after partnering last September 2023 on their first-ever collaborative collection, ‘BIMBA Y PALOMO’.
For this season, the two Spanish brands have come together on their second iteration of ‘BIMBA Y PALOMO’ which again debuted on the runway and consists of a co-creation of several looks and accessories that will be available to purchase as see now, buy now immediately following the show.
The inspiration for the second collaboration with Bimba y Lola “BIMBA Y PALOMO” revolves around floral motifs, with chrysanthemums replacing roses as the main theme. This change reflects an evolution in symbiosis development while maintaining a backward glance, striving to establish a creative language that keeps both collections tied under a unified aesthetic world.
The collection is divided into two blocks representing the woman of BIMBA Y PALOMO: day and night. Daytime pieces capture the essence of a powerful and almost wild woman, incorporating animal prints, jacket and skirt sets, maxi bags, and loafers. By night, the woman reveals her sensual side intertwined with romanticism reminiscent of 1930s cuts and Hollywood drama. Red carpet dresses in delicate tulles and chiffons playing with transparencies, colorful faux fur coats, and pumps stand out here.
