Co-founder of Palace Skateboards, Lev Tanju, talks about designing the Palace Gucci collection for Vault, the House’s experimental online shop

Founded in 2009 by Lev Tanju and Gareth Skewis, Palace has quickly transcended its status as a skateboard-focused brand, becoming the underdog force defining men’s fashion by not trying at all, but rather following an irreverent instinct. Invited by Creative Director Alessandro Michele to shake things up within the House’s repertoire of historic codes, Palace has designed its own collection for Gucci, found only on Vault. In this episode, host Shahida Bari talks to Lev Tanju, discussing the creative trajectory of Palace from its beginnings in a skate house in London’s Lower Marsh Street all the way up to its special collection for Vault.
