Founded by Japanese creative Nigo in 1993, fashion brand BAPE (A Bathing Ape) started off with tee’s and streetwear, and has flourished into a lifestyle brand. The name A Bathing Ape draws the inspiration from the Planet of Apes movie, at the same time ironically pointing to the wealthy young Japanese who love pampering themselves.
Known for many collaborations, BAPE has worked with top brands and artists over the years, including Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Adidas, Kanye West, Soulja Boy, Biggie, as well as a capsule collection with Louis Vuitton and Virgil Abloh.
Today, BAPE is one of the most hyped brands in streetwear, widely-recognized for its shark motif hoodies and iconic camo print. MMSCENE give you five style tips to wear your favorite BAPE pieces.

Pair it with a gold chain or a statement shoes to give this look a fashion boost.
Camouflage Print Is Making Its Fashion Comeback
Camo print is developed at the beginning of the 20th century for military use by the French, and immediately became popular in fashion and art from as early as 1915. Many major fashion brands have been using camouflage style and symbolism, and military clothing has been used both as street wear and as a symbol of political protest.
From brown to olive, to khaki and shades of gray, the camouflage print is the ultimate trend for Fall Winter 2021/22 season. Whether it’s printed on a coat, a timeless denim jacket, or on a hoodie and shorts like this combo from BAPE, you’ll be sure to wow the crowd.
