NEW YORK, Feb. 11, 2025 -- Bluestar Alliance LLC, a leading global brand management firm, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Palm Angels® luxury streetwear brand. The acquisition of Palm Angels follows Bluestar Alliance's recent acquisition of Off-White from LVMH, and underscores Bluestar Alliance's continued expansion into the high-end streetwear and luxury fashion sectors. The addition of Palm Angels strengthens Bluestar's portfolio of both iconic and emerging brands, solidifying its leadership in the luxury streetwear market.
Born in 2015, Palm Angels has rapidly become a global leader in blending luxury fashion with street culture.

Ralph Gindi, COO of Bluestar Alliance added, "Palm Angels is a brand that speaks directly to the cultural trailblazers—the underground tastemakers and fashion leaders who shape the future of style. In every community, there are those that set the trends, the visionaries who guide fashion's evolution, and those individuals are wearing Palm Angels. As we enter this exciting new chapter, we're proud to bring together creative forces from around the globe to continue shape the future of fashion."
