Nigo is best known for his works in the streetwear space, having launched A Bathing Ape (Bape) in 1992, one of Japan?s earliest streetwear brands. Famous for its camouflage prints, shark-graphic hoodie, and sneakers with a star and lightning bolt on both sides.
His reach then expanded to the US and Europe with the help of Pharrell Williams, an early supporter of Nigo and his brand, with whom he has also launched Billionaire Boys Club. Nigo departed from Bape and then started a new label, Human Made, in 2010. He’s also the creative director of Uniqlo‘s UT line.
