Riley von Niessen — June 16, 2017 — Fashion
Recently, a new AAPE collection was launched, and it's full of pastel colorways that are perfect for adding a bit of vibrancy to the summer looks of streetwear fans.
Although the iconic camouflage pattern that A Bathing Ape uses is implemented on the designs of some of the garments, the majority of the new AAPE collection does without it. Instead, plain pastel hues take up most of the garments, allowing the metallic graphics that are frequently included on them to be at the focus.
Included in the collection are graphic shirts, various weather-resistant jackets, rompers, shorts, skirts, and an industrial-looking belt that features the streetwear label's branding all over it. Those interested in the collection will be able find it from select locations across Hong Kong and Japan.
