Mr Bathing Ape SS 2011 Shows the Mature Side of Bape
References: mrporter & freshnessmag
Bape is showing the company’s mature side with the Mr. Bathing Ape SS 2011 collection.
For those unfamiliar with Mr. Bathing Ape, the line is actually a collaborative effort between Bape and United Arrow. Rather than the hip-hop inspired streetwear most are used to, this brand takes a formal approach. The Mr Bathing Ape SS 2011 collection has a variety of dress shirts tailored for a loose fit with a small mustache embroidered on the left breast pocket. There are also full jackets, blazer and dress pants for those looking to look professional. Complementing the suits are leather wingtip brogues, leather loafers and ties with the trademark Bape camo theme. For more casual wear, there are also jeans available.
Mr Bathing Ape is vastly different than what Bape normally produces, so if you’re looking to look formal but with a street flair, this collection is the perfect fit.
