Palm Angels

Palm Angels is an Italian luxury fashion label that was established in 2015 by Francesco Ragazzi, an Italian art director and photographer who previously held the position of artistic director at Moncler. The brand is a part of the New Guards Group and has become known for its collaborations with various brands and artists, including Moncler Genius, Playboi Carti, BBC Ice Cream, Under Armour, and Clarks. The inception of Palm Angels can be traced back to a book published by Rizzoli, which contained a collection of black and white photographs of the Los Angeles skateboarding scene, captured by Ragazzi himself. The book, which included an introduction by Pharrell Williams, was launched in Paris at the former concept store Colette. This project marked the beginning of a brand that combines a fascination for American culture with an Italian perspective, resulting in collections that feature deconstructed and comfortable shapes adorned with unexpected sartorial details. The brand's first ready-to-wear collection was introduced in the Fall-Winter season of 2015, and since then, Palm Angels has released new collections every Spring-Summer and Fall-Winter season.

The brand's aesthetic is a fusion of the raw energy of streetwear with the refined elegance of high fashion, embodying the spirit of contemporary urban culture. The iconic Palm Angels hoodie has become a symbol of this blend of rebellion and luxury. Over the years, Palm Angels has engaged in a series of collaborations, such as with Suicoke and Sundek in 2017, and with Vlone and Playboi Carti in 2018, the latter resulting in a limited-edition capsule collection featuring tracksuits, t-shirts, a hoodie, and a denim jacket, all emblazoned with a logo that reads "Palm Angels Die Punk." The brand also ventured into the hospitality industry with a collaboration with Setai Miami during Art Basel 2019 and more recently presented its Fall Winter 2020 collection in New York, unveiling a collaboration with C. & Clarks. In the world of sports, Palm Angels partnered with the Haas F1 Team for the 2023 season, contributing to the design of the team's garages and race suits, as well as featuring their branding on the sides of the car's liveries.

Palm Angels' collections are characterized by a distinctive blend of luxury and street style, with a focus on bold graphics, oversized silhouettes, and a mix of high-end and casual elements. The brand's offerings include clothing, shoes, and accessories for both men and women, and it has established itself as a label that captures the genuine energy and innovation of urban environments like Beijing, Shanghai, and Tokyo. The brand's products are available worldwide, reflecting its global reach and appeal to a diverse audience that appreciates the unique intersection of luxury fashion and streetwear.
