[BAPE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-ovo-1) introduces its latest collection for the Fall/Winter 2025 season with the launch of the Connect with People capsule. It highlights presence through a series of fashion while channeling a sense of creativity and community. The brand is bringing attention to these values and is rooted in the [bold camo and other prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legacy-camo-shark).

The capsule channels three main forces: [music, art, and sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-planes-1). The brand understands these as what moves the world and is the very core of self-expression. The collection is comprised of a bright campaign with a blend of creatives, including DJs, rappers, skateboarders, to name a few. The seasonal range also has a retro tonal palette, graffiti-style graphics, iconic tree patterns, and more.
