WARP: AAPE By A Bathing Ape 2012 Spring/Summer Collection Editorial

With the new AAPE By A Bathing Ape Harajuku store grand opening recently, WARP magazine brings us a final look at some of the pieces you can expect to see on the rails. The choice of models in this photoshoot, along with many of the others we have seen, helps reaffirm the age range that this new line is reportedly being targeted at. While the standard price range for all items has been considerably reduced, the designs have stayed relatively true to a classic BAPE style. Simple items using solid colors and check or stripe patterns make up the bulk of the collection, with, of course, some camouflage thrown in for good measure. The jury is still out among the more hardcore BAPE fans as to whether the AAPE By A Bathing Ape collection is any good and what impact it will have on the entire A Bathing Ape family, but for the casual observer it may well give access to brand that was previously unattainable.
