BAPE
A Bathing Ape, also known as BAPE, is a Japanese streetwear brand founded in 1993 by NIGO. It encompasses men’s, women’s and children’s clothing, as well as a variety of accessories and lifestyle items. In 2011, it was announced that Hong Kong-based fashion conglomerate I.T Group purchased the brand for $2.8 million USD, and by 2013 NIGO had stepped down from the brand’s creative helm.
Nowadays it is an expensive hard-to-get streetwear brand with little shops to buy from in the UK. If you would like a how to cop guide internationally comment below and I will be sure to make that!
What's Bape lifestyle?
Bape have tried to reach out and make lots of odd products such as pushchairs, figurines, berets etc with their most known iconic '1st Camo' featuring a dark green camo with Bape patterns throughout it.
I've heard of AAPE and Baby Milo but I don't know what they are
These are just other parts of the brand branching out just like Emporia Armani and Giorgio Armani or Alexander Mcqueen and MCQ.
If you have anymore questions about anything to do with this please comment below and I will happily answer them :)
