Harlem Renaissance Reverie: A Tribute to Palmer Hayden
“Drawing from the bold storytelling and vivid scenes of Palmer Hayden, this design transforms cultural history into a wearable masterpiece.”
In Palmer Hayden’s “Card Game,” we are transported to a vibrant moment of African American life during the Harlem Renaissance, where four men are deeply engrossed in a tense game of poker, while two others engage in a lively match of pool in the background.
Crafted from luxurious gold wool herringbone fabric, the two-piece coat exudes elegance and sophistication. It features a detachable capelet that adds a touch of drama, while the tailored undercoat boasts a Nehru collar and a cinched waist with a belt. Throughout the coat, scattered pool balls and playing cards whimsically echo the playful nature of the artwork, infusing it with dynamic energy and charm.
