Palm Angels and Hï Ibiza Reunite

Palm Angels and Hï Ibiza have unveiled their second capsule collection, ‘Some People Just Know How To Fly’. Launched at Hï Ibiza and London’s Flannels flagship store, the project brings together music, fashion and nightlife culture within a shared creative vision. The collaboration further develops Palm Angels’ approach to blurring the boundaries between street culture and luxury aesthetics. At the heart of the capsule is a custom developed Cloud Wash tie dye technique. Created through soft horizontal gradient transitions, the distinctive finish adds both visual and emotional depth to the collection. Lighter tones reflect the atmosphere of Ibiza sunsets, while darker shades evoke the energy of the island’s nightlife. As a result, the collection adopts a more refined visual language built around texture and mood rather than high contrast graphics. Music culture has always played a central role in Palm Angels’ design identity, and Hï Ibiza serves as a natural extension of that connection. The collection reflects a creative approach that draws from street culture while embracing the rhythm and energy of global nightlife. The campaign stars French model Clara Berry alongside Pacôme Pegaz, who grew up in Ibiza and became the first Spanish athlete to win a world championship gold medal in high diving. Their presence reinforces the capsule’s narrative by reflecting the island’s unique blend of local identity and international cultural influence.

Off-White Interprets Street Luxe Aesthetics

With its latest eyewear collection, Off-White continues to redefine street luxe aesthetics through a design language centered on strong brand identity and high visual impact. The collection is aimed at wearers with a confident sense of style who position themselves at the intersection of street culture and luxury design.

While signature colors such as black and mottled brown remain central to the collection, the primary focus is placed on contrast and variety created through lens colors. This approach gives the collection a contemporary and distinctive character. One of the collection’s most striking expressions is the combination of brown frames and blue lenses. Light toned speckles embedded within the acetate add depth and movement to the design, while changing reflections enhance the visual richness of the brown frame.
