Refined Urban-Tough Editorials

The A Bathing Ape 2012 Fall/Winter is Classy and Hip

— October 2, 2012 — Fashion
The A Bathing Ape 2012 Fall/Winter collection is a sophisticated take on urban streetwear. The Japanese clothing designers pair suave camel-toned leather jackets with the familiar patterns of yellow and black camo lining. The clothing line matures its apparel for the fall season collection. It tailors to the young go-getter who wants to be a fashion mogul, but still likes to have little quirky nuances in his clothing.

Leather motorcycle jackets, tailored dress coats and warm fur-hooded outerwear present a more refined urban image. However, Bape doesn't stray too far from its roots. The A Bathing Ape 2012 Fall/Winter collection throws in a golden camouflage puffy jacket for all the fans who are not willing to ditch their signature color-blotched threads.
