Vilebrequin reflects the tropezian lifestyle while Palm Angels embodies LA’s skate culture. Two brands have contrasting styles – as counterintuitive as it may sound, for its 50th Anniversary, Vilebrequin is celebrating with Palm Angels to present a swimwear capsule collection. But the result is gripping enough to make this summer memorable.

This collaboration, of course, results in classic swim shorts with bold, bright colors. A collision between two different worlds, this capsule balances the casual elegance of St. Tropez with the grit of LA’s skate scene. Free-spirits, forever exuberance, Francesco Ragazzi typified Los Angeles through disruptive energy – and this kind of energy, like California sunshine that never fades, sparks Vilebrequin, shedding light on Vilebrequin’s timeless charm. 

Featuring an elastic waistband, spacious side pockets, a back flap pocket, a mid-thigh length, these swim shorts are composed of recycled Polyamide – while enjoying sunny summer days, you’re making an environmentally-friendly choice. 

Available in six styles, the designs of this limited-edition capsule merge the charm and hedonism of the French Riviera with the urban stylistic codes of Palm Angels: from the iconic Palm Angels teddy bears against baby blue stripes to Vilebrequin turtles hidden amongst camouflage to a graffiti tropical paradise – each style brings a touch of effortless chic to the beach and throughout the city.
