About AAPE BY *A BATHING APE®
At A BATHING APE®, creative concepts never cease to emerge. In spring-summer 2012, a brand-new diffusion line AAPE BY *A BATHING APE® (abbreviated as AAPE, reads A-A-P-E) was conceived to consolidate a young and hip message. With an eye to the young menswear market, AAPE aims at creating a simple, light and fashionable wardrobe for the new generation of fashionistas. With comfortable cut heavily trended in every season, each item at AAPE is designed to become an everyday staple. The AAPE logo, featuring prominently a graphic round face of the ape, is a younger version of the original A BATHING APE® Moon Face.
