History[edit]

Francesco Ragazzi started Palm Angels in 2011 by publishing a photographic book that documents skate culture.

The book, published by Rizzoli^[6], features a collection of black and white photographs of the L.A. skateboarding scene, shot by Ragazzi and an introduction written by Pharrell Williams^[7]. The launch took place in Paris at the former concept store named Colette.

This led to the creations of a brand where the fascination for American culture merges with the Italian perspective, inspiring collections composed of deconstructed and comfortable shapes with unexpected sartorial details. The release of the book in 2014^[8] kicked off the first ready to wear collection (Fall Winter 2015). In the flowing years, the brand presented in Paris (Fall Winter 2016) and showed its Fall Winter 2017 collection in Milan.

To celebrate the collection, designer Francesco Ragazzi and Playboi Carti hosted a launch party at premier streetwear retailer Patron of the New in TriBeca during New York Fashion Week.
