When Streething started a few years back, a common sight at our events would be peeps in shiny Bapestas and camo-print hoodies. Fast forward to today, and although the Bathing Ape machine is still going strong, the crowd it sells to is not the same enthusiasts and exclusivity seekers as before. Whatever people have to say about Bape, the brand has gone from Harajuku to Hollywood and back since starting, a feat not many Japanese brands can claim to have done.
Talking about starting up, It’s this year that Bape celebrates it’s 15th anniversary in monkey business. As part of the celebrations they have released a coffee table book that provides a look back into their illustrious history. A must have for Bape fans and street culture followers that appreciate the mark the brand has left on the street fashion scene.
Available now at Kinokuniya bookstores across South East Asia. The KLCC branch has the pink-camo cover version and it is currently on special offer, where if you purchase another item you’ll get 30% off the total price. The offer is valid until January 4th, 2009.
