The iconic Japanese streetwear brand A Bathing Ape (or BAPE) was founded by Nigo in 1993, following the success of the Tokyo-based NOWHERE store. Referencing the 1968 film Planet of the Apes, BAPE's signature camouflage, shark head motif and monkey head logo have since been reinterpreted thanks to collaborations with everyone from Kanye West and SpongeBob to Comme Des Garçons and Supreme.
