Palm Angels
During what would become one of many frequent trips to Los Angeles, Moncler art director Francesco Ragazzi began photographing the skateboarders of Venice Beach. He launched Palm Angels with a unisex ready-to-wear collection for Fall/Winter 2015, inspired by the image of an angelic skater suspended midair in a halo of sunlight. Remaining a motif of the brand, this graphic appears across wide-ranging collections of hoodies, iPhone cases, and thermal cups. Combining preppy cuts, ‘70s-inflected prints, and accessories adorned with Californian iconography, Palm Angels proposes a genderless array of offerings that capture the rugged grace of LA skate culture.
