A Bathing Ape (Bape)
As one of the fashion icons that pioneered Japanese street style, The Bathing Ape (Bape) originated in Ura-Harajuku - the famous Japanese fashion street in the 90s. The brand was founded in 1993 by designer Tomoaki Nagao. Born in the land of cherry blossoms but strongly influenced by the diverse American street fashion style, A Bathing Ape is a unique blend of two cultures. This brand is one of the pioneers in orienting the fashion style of the "underground" world in Japan.
With a unique style that blends Japanese and American fashion and is inspired by sportswear, Bape quickly took the lead in the fashion market among countless other popular street fashion brands. Not only loved by Japanese fashionistas, but Bape also owns numerous fans around the world, including famous people like Lil Wayne, Pharrell Williams… Bape gradually becomes a big company, not only owning fashion stores throughout Japanese cities but also expanding into coffee shops and record labels. It even owns its own branded radio television.
