Palm Angels was born out of Francesco Ragazzi’s pure fascination and admiration with American culture, specifically Los Angeles’ skate culture. Ragazzi truly embodies this admiration in his Palm Angels FW22 collection, where he draws a lot of inspiration from the laidback LA lifestyle. Back in February, he teased a collaboration with iconic skate brand Vans during the Palm Angeles FW22 show causing a wave of excitement throughout the fashion community.
After a long wait, the highly-anticipated collection is finally here! Palm Angels and Vault by Vans joined forces for their first-ever collaboration, dropping an exclusive three-piece capsule celebrating the freedom and individuality expressed in skate culture. Using many of Palm Angels’ unique brand elements, the capsule collection reimagines three of Vans’ heritage styles in an elevated way.
Palm Angels started with a photography book and Vans was already there. I took a picture of a guy skating in Venice beach, wearing the most vintage Vans Sk8-Hi I had ever seen and since then, the idea of Palm Angels collaborating with Vans has always been in my mind. It’s now finally reality. With this collection I wanted to recreate exactly that same image: few models with a vintage feeling and a contemporary take.
