Photographed by Francesco Ragazzi, one of the creative directors of Moncler, this book is a stylish document of the contemporary skateboarding scene in Los Angeles, and its impact on streetwear and culture. Palm Angels will stand out as the first book to elevate skateboarding from its audacious beginnings to a sophisticated take on the popular sport.
Featuring large-format photographs of skaters in Venice Beach and Manhattan Beach, the book is as much about the style and street culture of the most elite communities of skaters in the world. This book aspires to elevate skateboarding in the popular imagination in the same way that Bruce Webber and others elevated surf culture to a unique cultural phenomenon.
