Founded in the mid-1990s and now a leading force in global fashion,
*A Bathing Ape(R)--or simply Bape--redefined the height of urban
cool for a new generation of Tokyo hipsters. The creation of a
young, enigmatic designer simply known as Nigo, Bape has rapidly
become one of the most exclusive and sought-after youth brands in
Europe and America. With a core product line of limited-edition
hip-hop apparel distinguished from its mass-produced competitors by
superior manufacture and detailing, the franchise has since
expanded to include everything from edgy updates of the classic
Chanel suit to an entire catalog of patent-leather sneakers, a full
line of women's accessories, collectible vinyl toys, fragrances and
its own tres-cool indie record label. Spawning collaborations with
Pepsi, adidas, M.A.C. Cosmetics and SONY, *A Bathing Ape(R) is at
once a worldwide fashion phenomenon and a leading barometer of the
inexorable rise of Japanese pop culture in America.*A Bathing
Ape(R) has famously cultivated a die-hard following among hip-hop
royalty, and is the clothier to multiple Grammy-winning artists
such as Kanye West, Jay-Z, the Beastie Boys, Nas, MosDef, Usher and
Pharrell Williams; and J-POP stars Puffy AmiYumi. Employing an
unparalleled mix of swagger and elegance, populism and cultish
exclusivity, Bape's commitment to the new, and a dizzying capacity
for reinvention has ensured its unique place in contemporary
fashion.
