Palm Angels is the brainchild of Italian photographer and Moncler art director Francesco Ragazzi, who began capturing images of Venice Beach skateboarders during one of his frequent trips to Los Angeles. The collected images would become Palm Angels, one of the definitive photography books on the LA skateboarding scene and the inspiration for Ragazzi’s latest project — a unisex collection of skate-ready, West Coast-inspired clothing for Spring/Summer 2016. Combining preppy and ’70s influences with biker jackets and tees that showcase Californian iconography, Palm Angels channels LA skate culture through standouts such as Italian-made denim varsity jackets and ripped jeans, metallic print graphic tees and embroidered trousers. Take a look at the second collection from Palm Angels here, and find a selection of the brand’s Spring/Summer 2016 pieces now at HBX.
