For Pali Albin fashion is a way of reflecting the world. He is especially interested in the way meanings are formed and how they vary in relation to reality around them. In his works he explores how the interpretation of things and phenomenons are completely different when they are put in a fashion context. Albin tries to show ordinary and everyday objects in a new light by detaching them from their original environment - how the way we look at things on runway is so different from the way we look at thing in our everyday life.

Latest Collection

IMMERSION

noun
1. the action of immersing someone or something in a liquid;
2. deep mental involvement in something.

Pali Albin’s collection IMMERSION is an experiment on recycling discarded liferafts, resulting in sustainable and visually intriguing pieces using materials originally intended for other purpose rather than fashion. Reimagining old materials as brand new garments has many advantageous facets - Firstly, including ready-made textiles in a collection reduces the impact that fabric production has on the environment. Furthermore, a liferaft that would normally end up in a landfill finds new value on the runway.

IMMERSION illustrates a reality after a geopolitical meltdown. The collection draws inspiration from assault gear, hiking and workwear as well as from literal life-saving equipment, implementing them in a figurative context.
