The Spring/Summer 2018 collaboration by BAPE and UNDEFEATED mixes the utilitarian versatility of military wear and the colorfully bold silhouettes of contemporary streetwear with head-to-toe multicolored camo patterns. The BAPE x UNDEFEATED 2018 capsule highlights matching co-branded pieces of combat-ready pants and an iconic silhouette of the M-65 field jacket.
The stylistic properties of the multicolored camo are classic BAPE. The green, brown and light tan in the pattern boast bubbly and illustrious shapes. The nuanced pink variation in the jacket, hoodie and pant styles offer a vibrant break of the strongly militant presence of the usual camouflage prints.
For Spring 2018, the BAPE and UNDEFEATED collab is bound to give consumers a fashion-forward edge.
