For BAPE’s latest collaboration, the iconic streetwear label teams up with craft gin Monkey47 on five-part lifestyle collection that encompasses their individual identities and creative stories.
Each piece in the forthcoming collection adopts a new original design that sees Monkey 47’s eccentric DNA infused into BAPE’s trademark camo. The exotic print features dapper monkeys layered under lush palms, jungle flowers and camo spots in three vivid tones of green, pink and blue.
Across the garment offering, hoodies and summer-ready Hawaiian shirts come boldly coated in the collaboration’s design, while white tees are paired back with a single BAPE emblem and a Monkey 47 logo back print. Completing the ensemble, the brands add three skatedecks to the range each in a distinct colorway.
Alexander Stein, founder of Monkey47 comments:'Innovation and collaboration is at the very heart of both brands and for Monkey47, experimentation with new flavours, aroma and partners is part of our DNA. As a hand-crafted gin, we know how important it is for the end product to be a labour of love we're hugely excited to be bringing our expertise from the world of Gin to Fashion"
Monkey 47 will also be dropping a limited-edition bottle of its hand-crafted Schwarzwald Dry Gin which comes dressed in the collection’s print – from its label to the packaging. Available on monkey47 release retailer list
