Today I finally purchased a book that I have wanted for weeks now. A Bathing Ape, one of my favorite clothing lines and one of the major reasons I started LoveHate Apparel, has released a collection of photography, stories, interviews, and other imagery, chronicling it's 15 year existence as one of the most prolific and imaginative clothing companies in the world. Calling Bape a clothing line really only begins to scratch the surface of what this company has achieved.
Nigo, Bape's enigmatic leader has, in my view, changed the clothing game forever. To people who know of him, Nigo has become a pop culture icon, the likes of which has not been seen since Andy Warhol. It is only more fitting that Nigo, like Andy, has made his name designing some very sought after shoes; and throughout his life and career, has collected the world around him.
The immense success that Bape has achieved in the past 15 years is definitely something to aspire to. I am inspired... period.
