How Palm Angels fashionable youth clothing was created

Palm Angels influenced the formation of streetwear style by adding elements from the skateboarding subculture. He wasn't a trailblazer, but he was able to take a different look at American street culture. Thanks to Francesco Ragazzi (formerly the art director of Italian brand Moncler and a photographer with a master's degree from the New York School of Visual Arts), streetwear has become part of the fashion industry.

Palm Angels was originally founded in 2011 as a photographic documentation of Los Angeles' skateboarding culture. Living on the West Coast of the United States, Francesco Ragazzi was no stranger to ramps and skateboarding. Observing skateboarders, he took many photographs. They became a book, which in 2013 was published by the Italian book publisher Rizzoli International Publications. And in 2015, the first collections of luxury street-style clothing from the Palm Angels brand appeared.

Francesco Ragazzi says his photo book was a kind of manifesto for the Palm Angels fashion house. It opened its first flagship store in Hong Kong in December 2018. In its collections, the Palm Angels brand talked about the skate culture of Los Angeles in an Italian way. It combined motifs from the American subculture with sartorial etiquette, an enduring classic of Italian tailoring.

The brand has been active in promoting its collections and increasing its market awareness. Here are a few key events in the history of Palm Angels:

• In 2017, the brand created a collection in collaboration with Japanese brand Suicoke and California-based swimwear brand Sundek.
• In 2018, it teamed up with American hip-hop youth streetwear company Vlone. Together they created a small capsule collection of hoodies. This year also saw a collaboration with the brand of American rapper Playboi Carti. The result was a limited edition collection of tracksuits, T-shirts, hoodies and denim jackets.
• In 2019, worked on a small capsule collection with American fashion brand Billionaire Boys Club Ice Cream (BBC Ice Cream). The collection included a total of 32 pieces. Among them were accessories, caps, tracktops with the brand logo and additional BBC style elements.
• In 2019, the fashion world's first collaboration with the hospitality industry took place - Palm Angels created an exclusive set of branded pieces for guests at The Setai Hotel in the resort city of Miami Beach. Each guest found a special package in their room that included a hoodie, t-shirt, cap and a large bag. As Francesco Ragazzi said of this collaboration, "I like to think of Palm Angels as a lifestyle that is not limited to the fashion world."
• In 2020, teamed up with British brand Clarks to create the Desert Boots print boots and the Palm Angels fall/winter collection with a western-inspired look.
• In 2021, he launched a collaborative collection with Italian brand Moncler, in which the designers paid homage to American culture and long-loved vintage Moncler pieces. Palm Angels also created a collection in collaboration with Italian house Missoni. The menswear and womenswear lines were designed by Francesco Ragazzi and creative director Angela Missoni, who has not left her post for more than 20 years.
• In 2022, entered into a collaboration with a Formula 1 team called Haas.
• In 2023, in time for the motor racing championship, introduced a second capsule for the Haas team. It included moto jackets, vests, hoodies, longsleeves, polos and T-shirts. The same year, for the British brand Barbour, he reimagined the Barbour Bedale jacket, first produced in the 1980s.

Now Palm Angels is part of the New Guards Group, a holding company dedicated to the production and distribution of contemporary luxury fashion. Francesco Ragazzi is still the chief designer of the brand and draws inspiration for new collections from movies of the 70s and 90s, old photographs of artists, actors and archival runway shows.
