"A BATHING APE® has built its reputation as a trailblazer in streetwear, consistently blending art, culture, and bold design language. This season, the brand returns to a proven partnership, teaming once again with ©SAINT Mxxxxxx for the fourth chapter of their "SAINT BAPE®" collaboration. Guided by designer Yuta Hosokawa and artist Cali DeWitt, the collection continues to explore the intersection of Japanese craftsmanship and American countercultural influences, producing a series of T-shirts that embody fearless expression and contemporary relevance."
"The collaboration between BAPE® and ©SAINT Mxxxxxx is more than a product drop; it's a statement of shared creative philosophy. From its inception, the partnership has woven together BAPE®'s iconic motifs with ©SAINT Mxxxxxx's subversive, vintage-driven aesthetic. This latest release reintroduces the "SAINT BAPE®" logo while pushing the concept forward with new graphics and treatments that bridge archival influence with modern artistic energy."
"Each of the five T-shirts in the collection carries designs that immediately speak to the identity of both brands. The unmistakable APE HEAD logo is paired with imagery ranging from angelic figures to skull motifs, all reinterpreted through Cali DeWitt's distinct graphic approach. The silkscreen printing recalls the raw, impactful energy of BAPE ®'s early collections, while ©SAINT Mxxxxxx's touch adds layers of texture and a sense of lived-in authenticity."
The fourth SAINT BAPE® collaboration reunites BAPE® and ©SAINT Mxxxxxx under designer Yuta Hosokawa and artist Cali DeWitt. The collection fuses Japanese craftsmanship with American countercultural influences to produce five T-shirts centered on bold, subversive graphics. Iconic APE HEAD imagery appears alongside angelic figures, skull motifs, and an ape skull that introduces darker undertones. The printed treatments employ silkscreen techniques that recall BAPE®'s early raw energy, while ©SAINT Mxxxxxx's vintage-driven aesthetic contributes layered texture and a lived-in authenticity. The designs bridge archival references and contemporary artistic energy, emphasizing fearless expression and cultural hybridity.
