# Japanese-Influenced Urban Apparel The Acapulco Gold 2012 Fall Lookbook Features Patterned Hats By Trenton Millar | Published 2012-11-08 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acapulco-gold-2012-fall-lookbook References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2012/10/acapulco-gold-2012-fall-lookbook) & [acapulcogold](https://www.acapulcogold.com/shop/clear/all) The Acapulco Gold 2012 Fall Lookbook shows off the brand’s newest collection of [street wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-planes-1). The collection is large and diverse, but the hallmark of the collection has to be the head wear. [New Era caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mastermind-world-x-new-era), snapbacks and knit beanies are all included in the Acapulco Gold 2012 Fall collection. The biggest stand-out for me is the leopard-print beanie with a red pom-pom on top. The range of head wear features many different patterns and logos -- enough variety for everyone to find something they love. Japanese influences are seen in the t-shirt graphics, which display [koi fish and geishas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-kaikai-kiki). The collection is completed with a selection of corduroy pants, work pants, flannel button-downs and crew neck sweaters.
