Japanese clothing line A Bathing Ape is collaborating with 20 artists, including Kanye West and Pharrell, to create their original Bape designs to be featured on canvasses and t-shirts. This will mark the 20th anniversary for the company.
The limited edition collection will first debut in Daikanyama, Tokyo on April 27th before rolling out to their worldwide stores. Bape currently has stores in New York City, London, Hong Kong, Beijing, Taiwan, Paris, Singapore, Seoul, Shanghai, and throughout Japan.
Pharrell, who co-owns Billionaire Boys Club with Bape founder Nigo, was responsible for making Bape a known name in the states after Clipse started wearing and rhyming about the label in the mid-2000's. Kanye also had a helping hand in the popularity, as he wore the designs in videos, and admitted that he begged the brand to produce his line.
