Junior Designer, Menswear & Special Projects

Job Description

What happens when two radically different worlds meet? Palm Angels is the reflection of Francesco Ragazzi's mind and draws together the spirit of the skaters of L.A. with sartorial evolution and the accuracy of Italian industrial design. The merger of the two can only be deeply personal, as a dream coming to life. An underlying rebellious attitude works both ways: sharpening streetwear while deranging and smearing the sartorial. Inside out, upside down. The purveyor of a counter-mainstream, Francesco is shaping a new attitude and new forms.
