The Emmy-nominated Apple+ show, Palm Royale, has captivated audiences with its stunning 1969-inspired fashion. From brassy hairdos to vibrant prints, the show’s costume designer, Alix Friedberg, has created a visual feast that’s sparking a renewed interest in retro styles. This Emmy’s fashion influence is undeniable, prompting a deep dive into vintage patterns and a renewed appreciation for designers like Lilly Pulitzer.
Finding Inspiration in Emmys Fashion and Palm Royale
Sometimes, creative inspiration strikes in the most unexpected places. After a period of creative drought, the vibrant Emmys Fashion, as seen in Palm Royale, reignited a passion for sewing, leading to two new projects in just 24 hours. The show’s influence, reminiscent of Lilly Pulitzer with a retro twist, prompted a text to a friend in Los Angeles, raving about the show’s aesthetic. Little did I know, this simple text would lead to an extraordinary adventure.
From Sewing Rut to Emmys After-Party
An unexpected invitation to a Primetime Emmys after-party at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills sparked a wardrobe crisis. As a sewist, the pressure was on to create a red-carpet-worthy gown, especially with the possibility of encountering Palm Royale’s star, Kristen Wiig. However, time constraints and a busy schedule led to a frantic search for a suitable outfit amidst a collection of unfinished projects.
Channeling Palm Royale’s Fashion Influence
The influence of Palm Royale’s fashion extends beyond personal sewing projects. Brands like Anthropologie have embraced the trend with their Palm Royale Collection, while designers like Lilly Pulitzer, Louis Feraud, and Malcolm Star continue to evoke the 1969 vibe. Ultimately, a floor-length Lilly Pulitzer dress was chosen for the after-party, coupled with a promise for a future fabric shopping spree. A last-minute find provided the perfect glitzy yet swanky dress for the occasion.
Emmys Weekend: Glamour and Inspiration
The Four Seasons Beverly Hills provided a luxurious escape before the Emmys. Palm trees, a shimmering pool, and the fragrance of jasmine created a serene atmosphere. The Emmys ceremony was a whirlwind of glamour, but the real highlight was returning to the hotel for a relaxing recap of the evening.
Fueling Creativity with Fabric and Food
Inspired by Palm Royale’s fashion and the Emmys’ glamour, a fabric shopping adventure ensued. From Mood Fabrics to Michael Levine’s, the search for unique textures and colors filled the days with possibilities. The trip also included obligatory LA foodie experiences, from In-N-Out Burger to trendy food trucks.
From Emmys Fashion to Future Creations
The trip culminated in a suitcase brimming with fabric, a camera roll filled with inspiration, and a renewed passion for sewing. The Emmys, the Four Seasons, and the vibrant fashion of Palm Royale all contributed to a memorable experience. The focus now shifts to transforming the acquired fabrics into unique creations, channeling the spirit of Palm Royale and the glamour of the Emmys.
