The SSENSE x Palm Angels Fall '15 lookbook is unlike the usual editorial concept. In partnership with SSENSE, Palm Angels has created a one-minute video showcasing its Fall '15 styles.
Exhibiting the brand's first Francesco Ragazzi-designed collection, the eerie video is shot inside of an abandoned church, completely in grayscale. Since the collection is inspired by the skaters of Venice Beach in California, this video stars a small group of skaters who take over the church to perform various skate tricks.
The garments within the collection are not only skater chic but preppy as well as in line with the S/S '15 70s theme. However, among the flared and trim trousers, the skater essence shines through leather varsity jackets, ripped denim and graphics influenced by L.A.'s skate culture.
