History
Nigo founded Bapy in 2001 as a dedicated female counterpart to the male-dominated streetwear scene of the early 2000s. It provided a bridge between the graphic-heavy aesthetic of A Bathing Ape and high-fashion sensibilities. Following the acquisition of Nowhere Co. by the I.T Group in 2011, the brand underwent a revival. It remains a significant example of how Japanese streetwear expanded its demographic reach by integrating professional attire with urban culture.
