Young Hollywood Goes Bananas for BAPE

The Japanese clothing has music's chart-toppers standing in line. Want to hang with the "in" crowd? Just try and get a BAPE shirt. Hollywood's A-list hipsters flocked to last night's official Melrose Place opening of "BapeStore," a clothing and novelty store from Japan's hard-to-find hot streetwear designer, NIGO .  Named after Nigo's "Bathing Ape" line, BAPE sells T-shirts, cargo pants, button-down shirts, sneakers and sandals with Nigo's iconic cartoon ape and monkey logos. The streetwear has found fans in CHRIS BROWN, LINDSAY LOHAN, RIHANNA , KANYE WEST and PHARRELL WILLIAMS . (link)
