Palm Angels: Rebellion Meets Refined Street Elegance

FASHION / 2025-09-25

From Photography to Fashion: A Skater’s Vision Transformed

 Palm Angels was founded by Francesco Ragazzi in 2015, originally as a photo project capturing California’s skate subculture. Ragazzi, then Art Director at Moncler, documented the raw energy of skaters against LA sunsets—an aesthetic of freedom and defiance that soon evolved into a full-fledged fashion line. Within just a few years, Palm Angels gained traction across global runways and streetwear communities, becoming part of New Guards Group (home to Off-White and Heron Preston). Its DNA remains rooted in this duality: the purity of skate rebellion, reframed with the sharpness of Italian design.

Design DNA: Street Codes with Couture Precision

Palm Angels is renowned for its oversized silhouettes, subversive graphics, and premium fabrication. Signature pieces—like spray-painted logo tracksuits, gradient-effect bombers, and the cult bear hoodie—fuse playful irreverence with meticulous construction. The brand pushes beyond apparel into sneakers, jewelry, eyewear, and fragrances, consistently merging unexpected cultural symbols with high-fashion detail. Each season introduces new textile treatments, avant-garde prints, and provocative slogans, ensuring Palm Angels stays ahead of both luxury and streetwear competitors. It is a label designed for those who demand individuality without sacrificing craftsmanship.

Cultural Pulse: Skater Spirit Beyond the Halfpipe

Palm Angels extends its rebellious ethos into a broader cultural lifestyle. Collaborations with adidas Originals, Palm Angels x Vilebrequin swimwear, and art-driven activations embody its community-first vision. Pop-up stores in cities like Tokyo and Miami immerse fans in its aesthetic universe, blending music, skate, and fashion. The brand also amplifies its cultural dialogue through narrative-driven campaigns that celebrate freedom, multiculturalism, and self-expression. Wearing Palm Angels is not just about streetwear—it’s a badge of belonging to a global tribe of creative outsiders.

Live the Attitude: Wear Palm Angels, Own the Freedom

Palm Angels represents a celebration of individuality and cultural fusion, inviting wearers to write their own style stories. From its LA skate origins, the brand has crafted a universal narrative of freedom and defiance, bridging continents and subcultures. Each piece—whether a limited-edition collaboration or a seasonal essential—captures rebellion as a luxury statement.
