Streetwear brand Palm Angels to pop up at Surrender

Streetwear enthusiasts: skate-inspired luxury brand Palm Angels will be holding a month-long popup at Surrender from 12 July to 13 August 2019.

The cult streetwear brand will be launching its pop-up in Singapore with a guest appearance by founder/designer and multi-hyphenate Francesco Ragazzi. The launch party will be happening 12 July from 6.30pm to 9.00pm, and will be open to the public.

Surrender will be housing the Pre-fall 2019 collection, which builds around the themes of a "horror movie bear" — more decapitated teddy than The Revenant — bandana prints, and a fresh look at the classic Palm Angels stripes.

Activities for the launch include a live silk-screen printing station for customers to customise their merch' using pre-set graphics exclusive for the pop-up.

While designer Ragazzi hails from Milan, Palm Angels is closer to a distillation of American street culture — often featuring elements of American culture and an edgier, grittier aesthetic than what one would find in the sartorial, blazers-and-loafers look more closely associated with Italy's fashion capital.

The brand is a favourite of a new wave of hip-hop artists and even some of the old guar — names like Playboi Carti and Jay-Z have been known to sport Palm Angels wear.
