Trapstar London x Pink Palm Puff Collab Alert

In 2025, global streetwear has never looked more alive, and two labels are leading the charge like no others: Pink Palm Puff and Trapstar London. Both brands have cut their own paths on opposing ends of the streetwear continuum—Pink Palm Puff with its rainbow-colored anarchy and Trapstar London with its grimey, underground edge. And yet somehow, these opposing poles have aligned to craft one of the most engaging fashion stories of the year.

From highly sought-after pieces such as the Pink Palm Puff hoodie to Trapstar's signature militaristic jackets, such brands are dictating what it means to have identity, attitude, and authenticity on your sleeve.

Let us explore in-depth the trajectory of these two giants, their milestones in 2025, and why their collaboration has taken the fashion conversation across the continents to the next level.

Pink Palm Puff: The Soft Rebellion

Established with the goal of upending typical streetwear traditions, pink palm puff was an overnight sensation with Gen Z and Gen Alpha consumers. Soft color, playful fonts, and a clear "puff" vibe are the hallmarks of the brand, which turns the script on what urban clothing is supposed to be.

Don't confuse softness for weakness, however.

Pink Palm Puff is unapologetic in its aesthetic decisions—oversized silhouettes, exaggerated hoods, bold embroidery. The Pink Palm Puff hoodie, specifically, has become a staple. Initially released in 2023, the hoodie now comes in more than 20 colorways, each sell-out taking only minutes.

The hoodie has evolved from being merely a comfortable piece of clothing to a badge of defiance against fashion snobbery. It boldly combines street and soft, masculine and feminine, loud and quiet—leaving wearers with complete freedom of creativity.

Trapstar London: Legacy of the Streets

While Pink Palm Puff is more recent on the scene, Trapstar London is a brand synonymous with heritage. Established in West London and rooted in the UK's grime subculture, the company has been a staple for street soldiers, rappers, and anyone in on the code of the streets for some time now.

Trapstar's ethos—"It's A Secret"—isn't just a motto. It's a way of life. Its small drops, ciphered social media plan, and strong music culture heritage have made it home to one of the most devoted followings in streetwear history.

The brand's items—particularly its utility jackets, cargo layers, and signature logo tops—remain to drive both up-and-coming designers and mass high fashion. trapstar london also branched out in 2025 with international pop-ups in Paris, Dubai, and Tokyo but remained deeply rooted in its London heritage.

And 2025 loves contradictions.

It was confirmed in April with a surprise teaser video released at the same time by both brands. The video presented London backstreets illuminated in neon pink light, Trapstar anthems sounding in the background, and models walking in hybridized attire—Pink Palm Puff hoodies emblazoned with Trapstar's "T" in silver foil print, cargo joggers with puffed side pockets, and padded vests in cotton candy camo.

It was referred to as the "collision collab"—an immaculate combination of opposition.

Success for this crossover isn't merely a matter of hype—it's about what the collaboration signifies.
