# Cobbler Fashion Lookbooks The Mr. Bathing Ape Collection Shows a Grownup Side of the BAPE Brand By Michael Hines | Published 2010-08-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mr-bathing-ape-collection References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2010/08/25/mr-bathing-ape-fall-2010-lookbook/) & [us.bape](http://us.bape.com/) If you're a fan of the [BAPE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connect-with-people) brand, then you will love the Mr. Bathing Ape Collection. This collection features a more mature style of clothing. This lookbook is definitely more grown-up, featuring [sharply dressed men](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-touch-by-bugatchi) and a mature workplace location. The Mr. Bathing Ape Collection should be a hit amongst fans and non-fans of the BAPE brand alike. I've never owned one piece of BAPE clothing, yet I would still take a second look at the suits pictured here. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mature Style Clothing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a line of mature style clothing targeting fans and non-fans of established streetwear brands. - **Sharp Dressing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a line of sharply dressed men's clothing that offers a sophisticated alternative to traditional streetwear. - **Workplace Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design a collection of workplace fashion that combines streetwear elements with professional attire for a versatile and trendy look. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce a new segment in the fashion industry by targeting customers who seek mature and sophisticated clothing styles. - **Streetwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new subcategories within the streetwear industry by focusing on sharp dressing and tailored designs. - **Workwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Merge streetwear aesthetics with workwear fashion to create a new trend that appeals to fashion-forward professionals. ## 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) - [Anime-Inspired Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-kaikai-kiki.md) - [Chinese Motif-Inspired Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-1.md) - [Logo-Filled Streetwear Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monogramheavy-bags.md) - [Sophisticated Streetwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dover-street-market-ginza-capsule.md) - [Reimagined Signature Militaristic Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-and-alpha-industries.md) - [Heritage Streetwear Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-era.md) - [K-Pop Playful Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-stray-kids.md)
