The emblematic streetwear brand BAPE continues to make eye-catching collaborations. After presenting us with BAPE STA designed in collaboration with MARVEL and USPS, the Japanese imprint is back with A.P.C for a new and rich clothing collection “INTERACTION #15”.
Founded in 1987 by Jean Touitou, the Parisian brand A.P.C. (Atelier de Production et de Création) is known for its creativity, authenticity and philosophy of humanity. The French label cultivates a simple style, with looks that go back to basics and are both elegant and casual. The pieces are made from classic, high-quality materials. First associated with raw denim, Jean Touitou’s brand offers a wide range of clothing and accessories for men and women that embody “casual elegance”.
The “INTERACTION #15” collection is part of the collaboration series launched by A.P.C. and follows the “INTERACTION #14” collab designed with another legendary French brand, Lacoste.
This new capsule combines the sophisticated style of A.P.C with the streetwear inspiration of BAPE. It features denim pieces, historically associated with A.P.C, camo prints and BAPE’s famous “Baby Milo”.
Jean Touitou explains “In the 90’s, A.P.C. was very successful in Japan, and I often went to Tokyo, at least twice a year. As soon as I discovered it thanks to my friend Hirsohi Fujiwara, A Bathing Ape was a brand that fascinated me because it managed to root a cinematic obsession in a streetwear culture that has become and remains a major influence.” About the chosen design, he continued, “This interaction was an opportunity for me to play with some cult elements of our respective brands: camouflage, denim of course, and especially the “Baby Milo” whose candor seems especially appropriate to lift our spirits after this time of pandemic.”
The collection merges the worlds of the 2 brands. It consists of oversized clothing, some with a washed look and others more classic. There are hoodies, denim jackets with a removable camo hood, t-shirts with the famous “Baby Milo” coupled with the A.P.C. branding, jeans as well as tote bags, shoulder bags, caps and key chains.
The A.P.C. X BAPE INTERACTION #15 collection will be released on September 3, 2022 on the websites of partners apc.com and bape.com. Be ready !
