Latest Spring Summer 2018 Menswear Collections
“Assertive proportions. Visual clarity. Bold silhouettes. Pragmatic forms: parkas, duster coats, field jackets, boxy shirts, oversize fatigues, boarding shorts, miniskirts, scuba suits. Functional details get twisted: drawstring, dangling straps. Palm patterns get micro, giving rhythm, or macro, making a statement. Sun-faded effects attack surfaces, in an act of disobedience.
RAGE is spelt out loud, and clear. Hints of formality – a tailored blazer – are taken on the wrong route, to the beach. Shore hues: red, black, orange, sand, grey. Nylon, canvas, gaberdine, cotton.
Practical accessories: hoods, bucket hats, sport bibs, backpacks, totes. The same spirit, and a sporty physicality, link men and women, which is officially a debut for Palm Angels. Masculinity, in protest. Femininity, too. Under a black sun.“
