Bathing Ape: A Fashion Icon?

Share

What started out as a hole-in-the-wall retail space has developed into a worldwide street wear icon. A BATHING APE began as a Harajuku trend and soon after sold out in Japan as it became a Gen-Y cult favorite. Nigo’s clothing and footwear brand is a favorite of the street wear obsessed, and the infamous gorilla logo has become globally recognized. A BATHING APE is coveted by many, as the limited quantities are sold only in Nigo’s boutiques in New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, London and Japan. Fifteen years after the first line of A BATHING APE t-shirts was introduced, a coffee table book featuring Nigo’s iconic designs on clothing, toys and shoes along with his work for stores, graphic design and food packaging. Fo all you street wear lovers out there, this is one you don’t want to miss.
