Bape stores are always pretty lavish affairs. Around the world Nigo has established A Bathing Ape, along with Pharrell collaborations Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream, as the high-end streetwear labels and the wild, retrotastic yet methodically imagined and meticulously constructed store designs exemplify the brands status. This years Harajuku addition is designed as a ‘town within a building’ and certainly shows that there are no signs of the brand’s in-store inventiveness slowing down.
Working once more with long time collaborators Wonderwall Inc., Bape have let let their favourite interior designers loose again, ensuring that visitors will be taken to another planet when browsing their range of colourful sneakers and streetwear. A strong ‘American Diner’ theme runs throughout as do trademark camoflauge prints which adorn both roofs and floors in this surreal environment.
We suggest browsing Wonderwall Inc.’s extensive and impressive portfolio for more inspirational work, well worth checking out is the 50’s space-age inspired Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream store also in Harajuku. If your not near one of the brand’s flagship stores then we recommend bypassing the official site and heading straight for authorised stockist Cliff Edge.
