A six-image gallery for Palm Angels autumn 2026 appears in the current issue of Dazed, which is on sale now, the kind of fashion spread that earns its space not through volume but through the density of what surrounds it on the page.
The shoot brings together hair by Soichi Inagaki at MA+ Group, make-up by Rebecca Wordingham at MA+ Group using NARS, and movement direction by Yagamoto. Models Gretchen Easterwood, represented by Select, and Amir Ogunsi, represented by Models 1, front the images. The supporting credits run to photographic assistant Ryan James, styling assistants Moni Jiang and Dharam Rana, production assistant Harvey Watt, and casting by Holly Cullen at MA+ Group.
Palm Angels autumn 2026 in a Dazed issue built around fashion’s longest view
That the Palm Angels images sit within this particular issue matters as much as the images themselves. The autumn 2026 edition of Dazed is an unusually weighted one. According to YourCelebrityMagazines, the issue’s cover is shot by Paolo Roversi, with Alaina Rae wearing Comme des Garçons, a pairing of photographer and house that places the issue squarely inside fashion’s long memory, two names whose entire aesthetic logic runs counter to the seasonal churn that most editorials serve.
Roversi’s particular softness (the slightly out-of-time atmosphere he has always drawn from his subjects) is an interesting context for a Palm Angels spread. The California-via-Italy brand has built its identity around the grammar of American subcultural sportswear, which is to say it operates in a register concerned with the present tense, with the street-level image. To see it placed within the same issue as a Roversi Comme des Garçons cover creates a kind of productive friction: the disposable and the archival sharing a spine.
The issue’s editorial range: from a Kawakubo interview to the question of the season
The Dazed autumn 2026 issue also carries an interview with Rei Kawakubo, described by Dazed as arguably the world’s greatest living designer. That claim is not hyperbole deployed lightly at a publication like this one. Kawakubo’s presence in the magazine, alongside the Roversi cover and the Palm Angels autumn 2026 spread, suggests an editorial line less interested in trend aggregation than in a longer argument about what fashion is actually for, who makes it, what it refuses, and where its energies are genuinely located.
It is worth noting that Dazed is an independent, London-based publication, a fact confirmed by Boutique Galleria. Independence, in magazine publishing in 2026, is no trivial condition. It shapes what can appear on the cover, who gets the interview, and which fashion houses are given a gallery of six images rather than a full advertising package. The Palm Angels spread exists, in other words, inside a context that is editorially rather than commercially determined, which is a different kind of legitimacy from the one a brand might secure elsewhere.
The six-image format is itself a constraint worth reading. A gallery rather than a story, a sequence rather than a narrative: the form keeps the clothes as the primary object and declines to wrap them in the kind of editorial fiction that longer fashion stories often require. What you see is what is being offered, the Palm Angels autumn 2026 collection, lit and directed and cast with care, and then left to make its own case.
The autumn 2026 issue of Dazed is on sale now.
