Agenda: Bape; Comme des Garçons; Perdita Weeks; Bugsy Malone; La Bodega Negra; Alabama Shakes
Fashion: Going ape for play time
It's a coalition of cults as underground Japanese streetwear brand A Bathing Ape (Bape) collaborates with Comme des Garçons' Play line for a selection of one-off T-shirts that are sure to sell out as soon as they hit stores.
