Book Description: Founded in the mid 1990s and now a leading force in global fashion, A Bathing Ape 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 tr s cool indie record label. Spawning collaborations with Pepsi, adidas, M.A.C. Cosmetics and SONY, A Bathing Ape is at once a worldwide fashion phenomenon and a leading barometer of the inexorable rise of Japanese pop culture in America. A Bathing Ape 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.
