Artists team up for BAPE

I remember when A BATHING APE seemed to be at its height some years ago and cats couldn't get enough of the brand regardless of its often quite silly prices. In my opinion, the designs were quite fresh and quirky, pretty OK. I've actually been partial to purchasing some items myself. As Pharrell Williams was affiliated with BAPE due to being a co -owner with Nigo, the Japanese DJ/Producer. This added to the allure of the brand for many urban kids. All in all BAPE has been a colourful new clothing line that has become popular with modern popular culture around the world.

 

Well now, to mark BAPE's 20th anniversary - celebrities including Kanye West and of course Pharrell Williams will be putting their artistic talents to the fashion test and designing a limited edition collection to mark the supposedly auspicious occasion.

 

The two music artists will be among twenty other artists (I hope Flo -rida isn't apart of this) taking part in the project - with each collaborator creating their own interpretation of the label's signature Ape head image which will then be printed on canvases and T -shirts.

 

These indulgent designs will then be exhibited at the Garden Gallery Tsutaya in Tokyo, Japan for three golden days from the 27th of April before being rolled out alongside products across stores worldwide.

 

Should be interesting to see what these millionaires come up with. I await the results with bated breath.
