Designer and founder of Palm Angels, Francesco Ragazzi, introduces his latest delivery that goes back to his roots and reminds the world how the fashion label came to be. Ragazzi started Palm Angels after taking a photo of a skateboard which was showcased in a book published by Rizzoli. Since then, he was inspired to create a clothing label that encapsulated skate culture while combining photographic prints, preppy tailoring, and unique accents. 2014 ignited Palm Angels’ and eight years later Ragazzi pays tribute to the publishing company by showcasing Palm Angels’ Spring Summer 2021 collection within a hardcover. 

During New York Fashion Week, designers prepare to showcase their latest collections in the most unique way. However, due to the current climate - Palm Angels got creative and released a book to highlight the most recent collection. The tangible book showcases each look within the collection from different perspectives as Ragazzi asked varying photographers to capture his work. The book is designed to look like an Instagram feed as all of the images are not in order by the photographer. This coincides with the diverse points of view and networks seen on social media. The limited-edition hardcover was given to a select amount of designers and companies. But the images are also ready for viewing online, providing the general public access to the exclusive imagery. The collection showcases bold patterns and a tactical aesthetic with camo prints and outdoor garments. Along with the new silhouettes, we are also met with familiar motifs and every-day pieces that can be implemented into any outfit. 

Also referred to as ‘Military Exodus Man,’ the latest collection harps on bold and eccentric patterns. An introduction of Camo and Jungle prints makes its way within the iconic tracksuit Palm Angels is known for. The Camo Classic Track Jacket and Pant are a legendary pairing. Made with quality fabrication, its polyester base showcases the striking camo print along with the stripe motifs along its sides. Zipper closures can be seen within the leg cuffs while a stand-up collar is added to the jacket - both contributing to the overall throwback aesthetic. Coinciding with the louder prints, the Buffalo Check Windbreaker is a great closet addition as it utilizes vibrant hues and quality construction. The checkered design is met with adjustable drawstrings emphasizing its tailoring capabilities. Contrasted with striped detailing, the windbreaker is an ideal layering piece that can be added to any outfit. 

Within the collection, we are also introduced to versatile pieces that embody traditional Palm Angels branding. The Daisy Classic Logo Tee provides an elevated touch with its embroidered detailing while the GD PA Bear Classic Tee showcases classic motifs feverishly sought-after from fashion enthusiasts. Palm Angels utilize premium cotton within its construction while meticulous stitching and smooth edges complete its distinct design. The Daisy Logo graphic is one of the latest designs within the brand’s repertoire therefore it is also seen upon a loose-fitting tee and 6-paneled hat.
