AAPE by A Bathing Ape Drops Three New Themes For SS21
AAPE
In the spring-summer of 2012 a diffusion line, titled AAPE, of the highly sought-after cult streetwear label, A Bathing Ape, was released with an eye to the young menswear market. BAPE has consistently been pushing the boundaries of contemporary culture. Through unexpected collaborations or the recent release of its NFT’s, BAPE thrives off of hype, so it’s no surprise that its younger line AAPE is doing the same.
AAPE by A Bathing Ape stays true to the brand's DNA whilst reviving the well-known moon-face logo across a collection of everyday staples with the aim of staying light, clean, and simple. Extracting elements of street style and pairing these with BAPE’s heritage and core design ethos, AAPE offers attire that integrates fashion and functionality whilst defining the trends and aesthetics of our current era. The latest SS21 collection is rooted in three major themes: AAPE GAME inspired by virtual reality, ARMY TRAINING that draws on military styles, and AAPE WORKER which reimagines workwear outfits.
