Hayley Menzies has crafted its first venture into puffer jackets with the kind of considered restraint that defines the British luxury house. The Paloma arrives not as bombast but as resolution, the jacket stripped to its essentials and then dressed in print: a surface layered with the brand’s textural original patterns, rendered in magentas, ochres and creams across panels that shift as you move.
What makes this jacket singular is its refusal of the obvious. Rather than the technical uniformity of most quilted outerwear, the Paloma uses print to create visual weight and dimension. The down, described as the softest luxury grade, moves beneath the exterior with the kind of gentle give that speaks of real comfort rather than mere insulation. A water resistant finish sits quietly on top, protecting without stiffening the hand of the cloth.
The jacket reads equally at ease on the slopes of Courchevel as it does walking through the city. Its silhouette is generous without being mannish, the puffing structured but not rigid, the sleeves cut through with a precision that allows it to layer beneath a blazer or over evening knits. The tonal palette of burgundy shoulders melting into pale pastels speaks to the brand’s characteristic refinement: colour used architecturally rather than decoratively.
Designed under the creative direction of Hayley on Earth, photographed by Marco Andres and styled by Caroline Augustin, the Paloma Puffer jacket represents the kind of considered expansion that sustains luxury houses. Not a reaction to trend, but a response to a need met with craft and vision.
