A Bathing Ape has queued up its collaboration with Mattel’s Barbie, an effort that is part of a year full of partnerships celebrating BAPE’s 25th anniversary.
The BAPE x Barbie capsule is comprised of 17-items for women and kids, including jackets, sweatshirts, pants, bags and accessories.
Commenting on the effort, the Hong Knog-based BAPE wrote, “From princess to president, astronaut to zoologist, there isn’t a plastic ceiling she hasn’t broken. As the most inclusive doll line in the world, Barbie has evolved into a pop-culture icon and served as a muse to the fashion world for decades. With an eye set on the rise of streetwear, Barbie has teamed up with Japanese street fashion legends, BAPE. Combining Barbie’s signature pink with BAPE’s infamous original designs, the BAPE x Barbie collection pays homage to the iconic insignia that extends to an apparel and accessory collection for women and children. The full line launches on April 6th in stores and online.
Priced from $115 for t-shirts up to $575 for a black quilted jacket, BAPE and Barbie’s will launch on April 6, 2019 in BAPE stores an bape.com.
