BAPE = The Bathing Ape brand clothing line (Nigo)
BBC = Billionaire Boys Club brand clothing line (Nigo/Pharrell)
ICE CREAM = Shoe line (Nigo/Pharrell)

Derivation of BAPE:
*Founder Nigo says Jap youth are too complacent with life and not trying hard to succeed, much like bathing in lukewarm water - (It's ironic how the same ppl are buying his gear)
*Nigo has the 5th largest Planet of the Apes collection
He also has the 3rd largest Star Wars collection

Now JayZ, Lil Wayne,Lil Jon, etc are popularizing it here in the states.
BAPE kicks are known to fetch $300+, BAPE tshirts/hats $100+, BAPE hoodies $500+

Watch of for fugazy knockoffs on eGaY

That being said, are any of these brands trendy in your neck of the woods?

the gimmick is that the stuff is limited.
and of course sensationalism from hollywood w/ pharrell/kanye west/lil wayne wearing it creates a following.

Yup, you said it in one word: gimmick. Luckily I don't need clothes of the highest level of asshattery to get a woman.
