What is A Bathing Ape?
Founded by Japanese fashion designer Nigo, who also serves as a creative director for Kenzo, BAPE came from Japan’s buzzing Harajuku district. The brand combines elements of Japanese fashion with classic streetwear pieces, closely linked to hip-hop and street culture since it’s established. BAPE is loved by rappers including Pharell Williams, Kanye West, Jay-Z and more!
Taking inspiration from Planet of the Apes, the brand’s trademark Ape Head motif features throughout the collection. Not sure what to shop? Look for signature shark patterns on its clothing and accessories, camo-prints and the brightly-colored BAPE STA sneakers. In Japan, items featuring cartoon monkey Milo are also a hit!
