AAPE’s streetwear often mirrors the present pulse of youth culture, a trend that is heavily influenced by past iconic eras and serves as inspiration for today’s trendsetters who are shaping the future of fashion. For their upcoming Spring/Summer 2025 collections, the brand delved into nostalgic themes, revisiting retro trends and shapes.
The collections showcase a blend of references to the past and a rebellious spirit for the future, divided into sections for men’s and women’s fashion. The men’s section is organized around three main themes that evoke the street style of the ’90s, encompassing everything from Y2K aesthetics to loose, casual fits inspired by hip-hop culture.
AAPE Men’s Spring/Summer collection
As a gamer stepping into the fashion world, I’m totally vibing with the AAPE Men’s Spring/Summer collection, especially the AAPE College theme. It’s like they’ve taken classic college styles and given them a fresh twist with a modern vintage vibe. The color scheme is seriously nostalgic, featuring bold hues of pink, mustard yellow, and green that take me back to old-school style. Details like school emblems or collegiate team logos give the clothes an authentic, weathered feel, perfect for knit jackets, shorts, polos, and tees. But they didn’t stop there – they added modern touches like the MOON FACE AAPE logo and intricate hand-drawn prints to keep it current and trendy.
The AAPE SKATE brand draws inspiration from the defiant spirit of 90s American youth culture, combining skateboarding, graffiti art, and elements reminiscent of the retro Y2K era. The designs are characterized by bold styles in vibrant colors such as electric blue, olive green, and faded denim, reflecting a youthful exuberance. Notable features include graffiti-style camouflage patterns, digital denim finishes on hooded jackets, and mesh tops matched with shorts that mimic military designs. The collection bridges nostalgia for the past with a forward-looking Y2K aesthetic, highlighting themes of freedom, rebellion, and a fun, edgy approach to streetwear fashion.
The AAPE HIP-HOP line takes its cues from ’90s American skate movies and hip-hop culture, respectfully nodding to influential fashion eras of yesteryear. The collection’s design is shaped by the bond between street skating and graffiti art, as evident in the use of traditional camouflage patterns and a spray-painted effect. The assortment includes mesh cut jerseys, military-style shorts with a camo theme, denim inspired by the Old West, and wide-legged jeans, all available in bold hues that mirror the rebellious spirit of the millennium.
AAPE Women’s Spring/Summer collection
The fashionable aspects were also incorporated into the women’s line, displaying fresh designs that embody the relaxed, vacation ambiance of Los Angeles and the urban hip-hop culture prevalent within the city. This city is celebrated through color palettes inspired by golden hour, ranging from pastel pink to light yellow. Prints in this collection often featured palm trees and serene sunsets, such as a camouflage pattern mimicking a primate that showcases sunset gradient effects and multicolored stripes. The casual assortment includes t-shirts with digital prints, baseball jackets, sleeveless vests, terry cloth sets, and polo collar sweaters made from jacquard fabric.
These styles are contrasted with female clothing inspired by hip-hop, which emphasize deeper hues like military greens, deep blues, and khaki, as well as practical designs. Nostalgia is evident as vintage denim features reappear in popular fashion, such as enzyme treatments or spray dyeing. The essence of the American West, deeply connected with hip-hop culture, is reflected through cowgirl graphics, plaid patterns, and the use of pure cotton. Key items influenced by this theme include parachute pants, pleated denim skirts, work jackets, DIY patchwork t-shirts, and more.
Explore the new arrivals for the approaching season, infused with a touch of nostalgia, to revitalize your wardrobe. The AAPE Men’s and Women’s Spring/Summer 2025 collections have been launched and are now accessible at AAPE stores globally.
