# Refined Urban-Tough Editorials The A Bathing Ape 2012 Fall/Winter is Classy and Hip By Nikki Taylor | Published 2012-10-02 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-bathing-ape-2012-fallwinter References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2012/09/smart-a-bathing-ape-2012-fall-winter-editorial/) & [us.bape](http://us.bape.com/) The A Bathing Ape 2012 Fall/Winter collection is a sophisticated take on [urban streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dover-street-market-ginza-capsule). 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-and-winter-line) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Refined Urban-tough Fashion:** Fashion designers can explore the intersection of urban streetwear and sophisticated apparel to create unique and trendy clothing lines. - **Classy Camo:** Camo patterns can be incorporated into upscale fashion to add quirky nuances to clothing items. - **Seasonal Maturation:** Seasonal adjustments to clothing lines can be an opportunity for designers to present more refined, upscale versions of their existing apparel. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can take inspiration from A Bathing Ape's sophisticated urban streetwear designs for their own collections. - **Streetwear:** Streetwear brands can experiment with adding refined and upscale elements to their clothing lines. - **Outerwear:** Outerwear companies can create stylish and trendy jackets and coats incorporating camo patterns and leather materials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Urban Alpine Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-by-kazuki-kuraishi.md) - [Culturally Inspired Fall-Ready Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connect-with-people.md) - [Chinese Motif-Inspired Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-1.md) - [Reimagined Signature Militaristic Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-and-alpha-industries.md) - [Blue Camo Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-ovo-1.md) - [Utility Street Fashion Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-x-neighborhood.md) - [Logo-Filled Streetwear Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monogramheavy-bags.md) - [Heritage Streetwear Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-era.md) - [Anime-Inspired Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-kaikai-kiki.md)
