The new Mr Bathing Ape SS 2011 line was featured on Trend Hunter, but the Mr Bathing Ape Summer 2011 lookbook gives a much better idea of what the brand is all about.
The Mr Bathing Ape Summer 2011 lookbook shows that Nigo and company likes to get classy and formal once in a while. The line differs itself from the other offspring of the brand by going with a mature look. Whereas the previous releases showed a variety of outfits, these images display models rocking various combinations of the new outfits. The addition of vests and pocket squares really helps promote what Mr Bathing Ape is all about.
Mr Bathing Ape may deviate from its predecessor greatly, but it really shows how diverse A Bathing Ape is becoming.
