Big Sean and BAPE Work Together on a Special Camo Collection
Big Sean and BAPE work in collaboration on a new capsule of streetwear goods that are true to the imprint's playful design language and color palette. The collection is similar to the Japanese brand's previous work with rappers, reimagining the celebrities as cartoons in its own design aesthetics.
Big Sean is featured across the designs in an animated version drawn by MANKEY and he stands by sidekick Baby Milo. The capsule includes a selection of graphic tees and long sleeve tops. Some of the pieces are complete in the signature 1ST CAMO pattern before showcasing a contrasting Ape Head and slogan reading "A Bathing Don Life." The second notable graphic highlights the Ape Head wearing Big Sean's glasses and the last showcases the artist with Baby Milo.
