The opening of the newest BAPE L.A. store is upcoming, and with it, so is a brand new exclusive collection. The limited Los Angeles-inspired collection nods to the Golden State with its graphic imprints and bright warm colors. In celebration of the Japanese brand opening in Los Angeles, the campaign shots also take place in iconic Los Angeles locations, such as Hollywood, Rodeo Drive and the Staples Center.
The celebratory collection is comprised of seasonally appropriate pieces, such as crewneck sweaters, hoodies, shorts and t-shirts. All garments are decorated in bright colors such as yellow, blue, green and pink. The selection is accented wit the iconic BAPE head branding, Baby Milo branding, as well as palm tree details as a nod to the Golden State.
The entire collection will be available as the new BAPE L.A. store opens its doors on February 17th.
