Heritage and Contemporary Culture Converge in a Timeless Collaboration
Palm Angels, renowned for its bold reinterpretation of classic fashion, has once again cast its transformative gaze on a timeless wardrobe staple, the Tod’s Tabs sneaker, in the FW23 season. This collaboration between Palm Angels and Tod’s breathes new life into the iconic shoe, elevating it from a classic to a modern must-have.
The updated Tod’s Tabs sneaker boasts refined details, with tapered lines, a tongue design reminiscent of the 70s, and a contemporary toe cap. The Palm Angels logo in gold lurex graces the tongue and back, while Tod’s distinctive mark is evident with the T embossed on the lace loop and the iconic logo on the back.
Key to this collaboration are two defining elements. First, a black leather palm tree stretching along the sides of the upper encapsulates the West Coast free spirit of Palm Angels. Second, Tod’s signature gommino, typically a functional element, is transformed into decorative relief at the back, paying homage to the brand’s legacy, uniqueness, and the Italian lifestyle it embodies.
Palm Angels and Tod’s have masterfully merged heritage and contemporary culture, creating a timeless design that encapsulates the essence of the present moment. This collaboration showcases their ability to harmoniously blend the past and present in the world of high-end fashion.
