Swiss-born eyewear label PALOCERAS, known for its poetic, sculptural designs, steps into new territory with a collaboration that redefines the meaning of fashion objects.
Teaming up with London-based drag artist and visual creative Bo Quinn, the brand unveils PALOCERAS x Bo Quinn, a limited-edition release of two silk scarves that celebrate the raw beauty of transformation, ritual, and self-expression.
Launching July 29, the collaboration is deeply rooted in Bo Quinn’s drag practice—a world where makeup is not merely cosmetic, but emotional, performative, and deeply personal.
For this series, Bo used makeup wipes as canvases. Each stained surface captured the imprint of performance: the moment after the transformation, when illusion slips and authenticity surfaces. These prints became the foundation for two intricate silk scarf designs.
The first scarf, Cabaret, is bold, maximalist, and chaotic. Vivid reds and yellows clash with electric blue, evoking the explosive energy of queer nightlife and underground performance.
The swirling abstract composition appear untamed and electric—like a blurred snapshot taken mid-spin on the dancefloor.
“I was drawn to softer yet impactful circular shapes that create an interesting contrast with the stark white makeup base.”
Bo Quinn on the design process
In contrast, Whisper is quiet and dreamy. Fading hues of lilac, dusty rose, and icy blue wash gently over the silk, forming a soft cloud of colour.
PALOCERAS’ Pebble sunglasses provided inspiration within the designs, turning the scarves into an homage to both brand and persona.
“This is about imagination, transformation and the creation of objects that carry a sense of mystery and make people feel something beyond words.”
Mika Matikainen — Creative director of PALOCERAS
Both scarves crafted from 100% silk twill in Italy, hand-rolled, and packaged with care. Each piece arrives in custom Paloceras boxes accompanied by a collector’s card—underscoring their position as wearable art. Stocks are limited to 50 of each design.
With Paloceras x Bo Quinn, the brand opens the first chapter of a new series of experimental partnerships—folding drag, fashion, and emotion into silk.
