A Bathing Ape, a modern streetwear brand.
The brand A Bathing Ape first entered the fashion market in 1993. It was the designer Nigo who initially founded this internationally-recognised streetwear label. The label counts 19 stores just in Japan alone. During the first two years, the designer made a name for himself by selling some of the clothes he produced in his store and by giving the rest to his friends. The word-of-mouth tactic worked and raised the profile of this young label. Two years later, in Nevada, a new boutique opened and success was forthcoming on a global scale. The sweaters, cardigans and sweatshirts for men remain sound investments for the brand.
Unique aesthetics ensuring originality and success.
More commonly known under the name of Bape, the brand is behind a comprehensive wardrobe for men. Easily identifiable in the sweaters, cardigans and sweatshirts produced by the Japanese brand are the codes which formed the basis of its success. The aesthetics have a distinctive look, which is fun and very colourful. The finishes are not to be outdone. As for the men's pieces, they remind us of popular culture like The Beatles, Elvis, Sponge Bob and Mario. The designer also often reprises recurring themes like monkeys, one of the brand's icons, in his collections. The younger generation and older children can easily find a piece to spice up a pop-inspired man's wardrobe and bring a touch of originality to anything and everything.
