IT’S BEEN SIX YEARS SINCE YOU LAUNCHED PALM ANGELS. HOW WOULD YOU SAY THAT THE BRAND HAS EVOLVED?

“Palm Angels is built upon a dream and realised through constant belief. We are defined by the experiences and actions of our lifetime – so are brands and so is Palm Angels. During this extraordinary journey, I’d like to think that I’m continually bringing much more to the table and connecting with our community, and that the label is always characterised by a strong DNA.” (Signature to Palm Angels is its ability to create pieces that are at once irreverent, simple and functional. Pieces that best encapsulate these qualities in the latest 8 Moncler Palm Angels collection include corduroy pants that can be opened on the sides for a more relaxed fit thanks to taped zips; padded totes with sleeve-like straps that allow them to also be carried as waist bags; and the retro-inflected puffers, which come cropped and in both sleeved and sleeveless options.)
