Designer and Blitz regular Melissa Caplan created bold, gender-fluid looks under her label Pallium Products ⚡ Inspired by ancient dress, her work used leather panels, metal poppers and hand-painted motifs that echoed Roman armour. This black cotton and leather coat, painted in gold, shows her distinctive fusion of history and experimentation. Worn by musicians including Spandau Ballet and Toyah Willcox, Caplan’s designs became icons of the era, setting her apart as one of the most original designers of the Blitz era. See this design as part of our #BlitzClubExhibition, open now until March 2026. Book your tickets via the link in bio. 📸 Luke Hayes
