Palm Angels

Jessica Hoody

Moncler art director, Francesco Ragazzi began photographing the skateboarders of Venice Beach as part of a photography project. However within two years, the project transformed into a full fledged lifestyle brand inspired by an image of an angelic skater suspended midair in a halo of sunlight. The Palm Angels Fall 2015 unisex collection combines 70’s prep with California skate culture. Their blazers, flared trousers, button-downs, biker jackets and tees are adorned with Californian iconography, screen prints and intricate embroidery, capturing the rugged elegance of the LA skate scene.
