BAPE has introduced its Fall/Winter 2025 collection “Connect with People,” aiming to re-emphasize the value of presence through fashion, creativity and community.
Rooted in its signature DNA of bold camo and fearless prints, this collection redefines connection for a new era. It channels three influential forces: Music, Sports and Art, which BAPE sees as the rhythms that move the world and the essence of self-expression.
The collection features a vibrant campaign with an eclectic mix of creatives, including rappers, DJs and skateboarders, uniting them in a cultural disruption within “BAPELAND”. The FW25 collection draws energy from the early 2000s, incorporating bold color palettes, graffiti-inspired graphics and iconic tree patterns. Two prominent camos, Tree Edge Camo and Art Camo, anchor the collection, alongside sport-inspired pieces that feature the striking Wild Leopard Pattern. While the Tree Edge Camo design honors the storytelling of hip-hop culture in the ’90s and ’00s, Art Camo takes inspiration from pop culture and street era. The Wild Leopard Pattern, on the other hand, is a reinterpretation of vintage sportswear.
The “ART” pillar pays tribute to Japanese craftsmanship with the debut of Cloud Camo, a new pattern crafted from indigo-dyed denim and traditional Sashiko stitching. Cloud Camo’s Karakusa-inspired motif is merged with BAPE’s signature camo aesthetic, resulting in a harmonious design fusing cultural legacy and contemporary expression.
Check out the lookbook above. BAPE’s FW25 collection will launch globally on July 5, at BAPE STORE locations and online via the BAPE webstore.
