Celebrating their 15th Anniversary this year, Japan’s A Bathing Ape has achieved more than most other brands in this business. Today the brand is still going strong and heavily expanding overseas, outside of Japan.
No matter what your opinion on the brand is these days, they were the first in many areas and have pushed the envelope for the market in general. 
"Aptly titled A Bathing Ape, the 368-page book takes a look back at Bape’s design history, through pictures of products like G-Shocks, all over printed hoodies, and sneakers, along with the celebrities like Kanye West, Pharrell and T.I who wear them. The book will be distributed by Rizzoli International Publications and will retail for $60.00 in November." Via Complex.
The book was written by by Nigo, Ian Luna and Akio Iida. More info here.
