BAPE's FW24 Takes on a "Subculture Aesthetic" and "Campus Life"
This year also marks the 20th anniversary of the iconic Shark Full Zip Hoodie.
Global streetwear label BAPE has dropped its Fall/Winter 2024 collection following its first runway showcase earlier this month in Shanghai, China.
Taking on the “Subculture Aesthetic” theme, the collection finds inspiration from hip-hop music, party culture and the new pop culture. By combining these elements, the brand stays true to its roots while also introducing new styles like the Marbling Camo which takes from BAPE’s ABC CAMO while blending it with marbling paint effects. The collection also features iconic styles like the Shark Parka, classic Snowbaord Jacket and Oversized Garment Dye Sweatpants, arriving in bold colors.
Other pieces like the puffer jacket, tracksuit and denim wear features the Lux Sport Pattern that draws inspiration from the Japanese tattoo techniques called “Wabori.” It blends graphics of the Japanese guardian dog “Komainu” and the Paeonia flower called “Botan,” which is added to the Shark Full Zip Hoodie that is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Core pieces includ the classic 1st CAMO redesigned on various forms of fabricks and essential military wear like the Kimono Jacket and MA-1. The second part of the collection focuses on “Campus Life,” going for a Y2K college aesthetic, tapping into varsity style with hoodies, sweatpants, lightweight jackets and more. From menswear to womenswear, BAPE’s iconic house motifs are seen throughout on wardrobe staples.
