Bape Clothing stands as a cornerstone of global streetwear, with a rich legacy rooted in innovation and cultural fusion since its founding in 1993. Created by Japanese designer Nigo, the brand’s full name—A Bathing Ape in Lukewarm Water—draws inspiration from the film *Planet of the Apes*, reflecting a laid-back yet bold attitude that defines its designs. Bape gained early fame with its limited-edition T-shirts and distinctive green camo prints, which hide the brand’s iconic ape head logo, designed by Junichi Nakamura. Its most legendary piece, the Shark Hoodie, debuted in the early 2000s, featuring a full-zip design that mimics a shark’s face when zipped, becoming a streetwear staple beloved by celebrities like Pharrell Williams and Kanye West. The brand expanded its lineup to include jackets, joggers, and童装, while launching sub-brands like Aape for more accessible pricing and Bapy for women. Though acquired by Hong Kong’s I.T Group in 2011 and later by CVC Capital, Bape retained its core identity—bold designs, premium materials, and exclusive releases. Beyond clothing, it built a潮流 empire with cafes, galleries, and collaborations with Adidas, Coca-Cola, and more. Bape’s influence transcends fashion, paving the way for Japanese streetwear globally and proving that unique, culture-driven designs can stand the test of time, remaining a symbol of individuality and street style excellence.
