A Bathing Ape started by this guy in 1993

Original store only sold simple t-shirts and a few other items:

Over a period of years the brand developed a following of japanese youth. Line-ups in front of Bathing Ape stores were commonplace. Like this one:

The brand started being recognized by celebrities. One of the first was this guy(even though its not his jacket):

Bathing Ape shoes are what brought the brand to most peoples attention:

Over the past 19 years A Bathing Ape has become way more than just a t-shirt company.

There are around 30 stores around the world most of which are in Asia. A few of the stores have "add-ons" like restaurants and salons.
