After making mention during his Coachella set and teasing the project on Instagram, The Weeknd has officially announced his upcoming collaborative collection with A BATHING APE.
The eight-piece capsule features tees, hoodies (shark hoodie included), sweatpants, sweatshorts, work jacket and a rug – all adorned with a custom XO x BAPE camo pattern. The whole collection, more than a year in the making, is a personal project for the Toronto artist who loved A BATHING APE growing up. “The quality of their product and longevity of their company have made them iconic,” said The Weeknd in a press release. “It’s something we aspire to be.”
Check out some more images from the lookbook below and look out for the official drop on Saturday August 4 at BAPE stores, BAPE.com, shop.theweeknd.com and us.bape.com.
