The one time outrageously dressed, toy collecting, King of Bling, has traded in his wardrobe for a much more conservative look, got rid of the gaudy jewelry and has recently announced that he will be auctioning off his toy collection.
For the 20th Anniversary of A Bathing Ape, Nigo, the brand's creator, has curated 20 artists, musicians and tastemakers from all over the world to create a range of T-shirts and artwork to commemorate the event.
Since the early 2000s, BAPE hit the US mainstream partially because of Skateboard P and this month, he can be found modeling both his favorite brands in the Japanese fashion magazine Cool Trans. 
This year, A Bathing Ape celebrates the new Chinese New Year with the “Year of the Snake” Capsule T-Shirt Collection.
For 60 years, they have remained at the top of their game with tennis and leisure inspired gear. For the brand's 60th year on the market, they will be collaborating with A Bathing Ape on a few new pieces.
Beginning on November 10th at the BAPE store at Causeway Bay, a capsule collection of limited edition crew shirts, tees and caps will be available that incorporate both Ferrari's logo and Bape's 1st camo colorway. 
In true Nigo fashion, I.T wrapped a brand new Ferrari 458 Italia GT3 in the Bathing Ape "1st Camo" colorway and it's every bit as crazy as you would imagine.
The founder of Bathing Ape/Human Made got a chance to share some insight into his collecting history, which has been going on for 34 years, as well as his philosophy for doing so. 
The "ape head" camo is highly recognizable for all fans of the brand, so it may surprise some that the latest BAPE collection is actually a leopard print with the "ape head" incorporated into the style. 
With all the fanfare surrounding the latest Spider-Man movie The Amazing Spider-Man, Bape of course decided to do a brand new collaboration.
