200 1 BAPE women's clothing brand, aimed at young office ladies, has nothing to do with the original source of inspiration. Its designer is KIKO, and its clothes are all lovely elements.
Development history
1968, a Hollywood sci-fi movie Planet of the Apes was released, which influenced countless young people in that era and is still one of the most classic works in cult movies.
1970, a boy named Naoki was born in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture, Japan.
1993165438+1October, he founded the brand named "A Bating Ape in Warm Water". BAPE's full name is, which means an ape who lives in ease.
The most famous brand slogan also comes from movies. Like other designers in Harajuku, NIGO graduated from Tokyo Institute of Culture and Fashion, but BAPE's LOGO was not designed by him, but an important figure in Harajuku culture. Skate Thing, a famous illustrator of Planet of the Apes, is also liked by his good friend, Nagao Zhiming, nicknamed "the skater".
It took a week to design it. BAPE made a lot of changes on the basis of the ape-man head, and found it very personal and cool. During 1998, King Kimura Takuya of Japan appeared on BAPE's TV, which quickly set off a BAPE fever in Japan. Later, many Japanese artists such as Tadanobu Asano and Sae Isshiki began to wear this brand. This trend spread from Japan to Hong Kong and Taiwan, attracting many artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
