In Tokyo, nearly 20 years ago during the 90's their was an underground sensation By the name of "NOWHERE". It was a joint venture between Jun Takahashi (Under Cover) and Nigo (A Bathing Ape). It was the first place to sell Undercover on the streets of Tokyo.
But now they are bringing their fashion trends into the streets of London. Both Designers have opened up a "NOWHERE" Pop up store in the Dover Market basement. This shop has been attracting a lot of people traffic to the markets.
This makes this store the only UK stockist of A Bathing Ape, and also LAST ORGY 2, the re-edition of first collection that Jun and Nigo designed together. This store will remain open until mid June.
“London is a place that has special significance for me and A Bathing Ape” says Nigo. “If we had done this in Tokyo, there would have been more people who knew what it meant without us having to explain. At the same, it would have been far less interesting.”
