See every look from Palm Angel's spring 2023 collection:
Francesco Ragazzi entitled this collection Welcome To Miami, delivering an irresistible prompt to drop Will Smith in the intro: “flow to this fashion show / Pound for pound anywhere you go / Yo, ain't no city in the world like this / And if you ask how I know I gots ta plead the fifth.”
Palm Angels has made its significant mark selling Ragazzi’s outsider, Made in Italy-enabled, aesthetic approximation of California skate-luxe on a global scale, but as he observed on a Zoom he’s as much a sucker for Miami’s neon charms as the Fresh Prince. In turn, Miami itself has over the years embraced a fair dose of Italian design sensibility: chiefly the signature of Memphis Milano that continues to act as a signpost for the fleshpots of Florida 40 years on.
There was plenty of Memphis’s brash pastels and angular shapes, mostly in the background, of a collection that studiously, overwhelmingly avoided the obvious references of Grand Theft Auto and Tony Montana. Instead Ragazzi used his photographer’s eye to assemble a series of character studies in clothing via minimalist oversized tailoring, carefully rendered workwear pastiche, and some unavoidable tourist store kitsch.
Ragazzi said: “As a passionate photographer—somewhere between committed amateur and semi-pro—Getty Images represents an essence of that passion. That archive, spanning editorial, historic, vintage, everything, is amazing. So I approached them for a collaboration.
