Had the pleasure of attending the opening of the newest BAPE store in LA last night. In attendance: Kanye, Pharrell, Chad Hugo, Shay (from NERD), Rick Ross, Jermaine Dupri, Pete Wentz, Nicole Richie, Serena Williams, Takashi Murakami and Nigo. The store has about 20′ ceiling with a circular glass room in the middle with a conveyor belt of shoes going around it. Shirts on hangers line the left two walls, while the right wall is a 20′ high glass case with product folded inside it along with the largest pair of BAPE jeans I’ve seen (about 4′ high). The back wall is the cashier with a display case featuring clocks, CD cases and other BAPE accessories. They also had BAPE toilet paper!
