A Bathing Ape 「猿人」品牌簡介 及 資訊‧Brands' Profile & Information

A Bathing Ape是一個日本時裝品牌，由NIGO（長尾智明）於1993年創辦，是裏原宿的代表品牌，1990年代中期開始受到不少年輕人歡迎。近年亦以同一品牌開展音樂及飲食等業務。

創辦人NIGO（長尾智明），於1970年在群馬縣前橋市出生，畢業於文化服裝學院，同樣是深受電影《人猿星球》（plant of the ape）的影響，在1991年的4月，與Undercover的創辦人（高橋盾）合作開設NOWHERE，主要以售賣APE爲主，每逢有新PRODUCT發售，必定會吸引一班忠實的FANS搶購，顧名思義，A Bathing Ape是以猿人作爲LOGO及創作元素，而且亦用了人猿星球的一句經典的口號「Ape shall never kill ape」作爲其品牌的標語。

品牌的正式名稱為「A Bathing Ape in Lukewarm Water」，即是「安逸生活的猿人」的意思，是其設計師NIGO從電影《人猿星球》（Planet of the Apes）觸發起靈感而命名。

雖然大多認為A Bathing Ape是由NIGO所想出來的點子，但NIGO於一次的專訪中談到，A Bathing Ape是他與SKATETHING（中村晉一郎）一起運作，而且正式名稱是由SKATETHING在其辦公室想出來的，至於此名稱的靈感是否真的源自於《人猿星球》，NIGO倒是沒有問過SKATETHING，即使他們兩人都很喜歡《人猿星球》。A Bathing Ape的簡稱「BAPE」亦被使用在其服裝等產品上。品牌的標誌是一隻猿人的頭，以猿人為圖案設計的迷彩亦常見於其產品及店舖裝修之中。亦有以猿為藍本的卡通人物「Milo」。

A Bathing Ape的產品經常採取限量生產方式，以提高購買者的興趣。店舖門外時常大排長龍，輪候購買產品。產品價格常被炒高，在拍賣網站轉售。品牌獲得一些日本、香港等地藝人的喜愛。A Bathing Ape曾與其他品牌合作，推出一些特別版產品，例如與日本百事可樂合作，推出限量生產的特別設計汽水瓶。

1993年NIGO和高橋盾在裹原宿開設「Nowhere Shop」。

1995年第一次和品牌「UNDERCOVER」合作推出衣服。

1999年原宿的「Nowhere Shop」改名為「Busy Work Shop」，由葛民輝代理在香港開設第一間海外專賣店，數年後停業。

2001年在代官山開設「Foot Soldier」。

2002年「Baby Millo」的誕生。

2005年在台灣開設第一間「Busy Work Shop」專賣店。

2006年由I.T接任香港代理，全球首間「BAPE Store」專賣店4月1日在中環皇后大道中開業，其後所有「Busy Work Shop」改名為「BAPE Store」。
