Park Hyatt Tokyo is celebrating its 15th anniversary. For the occasion the hotel worked with NIGO on a music album – TOKYO SUITE selected by NIGO. The compilation was inspired by his time spentin the suite on the 50th floor of the Park Hyatt Tokyo. The album will be released exclusively at A Bathing Ape stores on November 25th.

After some initial construction images of the new Nowhere Hong Kong store, the opening date and brand line-up has been announced.

Not long ago we saw the re-introduction of the Nowhere brand, a collaboration between A Bathing Ape’s Nigo and Undercover’s Jun Takahashi. Today we get first word that after Dover Street Market got the first product from the brand, they will actually be opening a Hong Kong flagship store. More on this matter soon!

With the opening of the new Bape Store London, Dazed & Confused caught up with Nigo of A Bathing Ape. The most interesting announcement in the interview is the launch of the Mr. A Bathing Ape suit collection, that Nigo himself worked on for the past year. The suits will be released at United Arrows in Japan later this year. We will keep you posted!

Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream have released their Season 9 Look Book. The new Fall/Winter 2009 collections feature a number of new patterns and designs intermingled with a number of classic looks in an overall massive collection offering every type of garment imaginable. One of the stand out pieces in our opinion are the brown Red Wing-esque boots. In addition to the main line items, Nigo has created a special BBC sub-collection entitled Space Beach. The new collection will begin hitting retailers July 1st, 2009.

Check out some of our favorite looks after the jump and the head over the the BBCIceCream.com for the full experience. The flash presentation is a great touch.

Dazed Digital catches up with Nigo and Jun Takashi. They talk about their Nowhere store, the recent opening of the Nowhere pop-up store inside Dover Street Market and what the store has done for the two Japanese designers. Most interesting, the article notes that Last Orgy 2, the brand first introduced in the beginning of the 90’s at Nowhere in Tokyo, will actually come back with more than just the t-shirts and hoodies that have come out so far.

Check out the interview here.

A while back we announced that Nigo was stepping down from the head designer position of Bape. Right away rumors came up that Tet, head designer of WTAPS, was taking over the reigns at A Bathing Ape. Today we get a first behind the scenes look at the Ursus Bape collection, which is designed by Tet. We cannot wait to see what the outcome of this collaboration is and can only hope for the best. Judging from the designs we known from WTAPS, Tet’s involvement is certainly a good sign.

Nigo presents a new Bape 16th Anniversary T-Shirt that he hand-screen-printed himself. He admits that there is no real meaning to the works on the t-shirt. His first shop Nowhere is mentioned, as well as the 16th anniversary of Bape as a brand. The t-shirt will be released on 5th of May at Bapexclusive.

More images of the t-shirt follow after the jump.

The Bape General did it once again, this time on one of the most mind-blowing oldtimers of all time – Nigo put his Bape camouflage pattern on the Mercedes 300SL, along with all sorts of other types of customization, such as a custom AMG engine, wheels and more. This is one of the most beautiful cars ever built, thus we are not so sure it really needs the Bape camo make-over, but at least Nigo can be sure it’s a unique piece. Previously Nigo had put the camouflage on a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
