life & times: NIGO

"A little over two years ago, one of the most notorious names in Japanese fashion announced that he was leaving the label he had founded way back in 1993 – a label that had become synonymous with streetwear and the culture of its time.

When NIGO revealed he was exiting A Bathing Ape after two decades at its helm, the announcement marked the end of an era. In typically visual, irreverent fashion, the designer posted an image to Instagram showing a toy-version of himself being lowered into a grave by a KAWS-drawn interpretation of Bart Simpson. It was almost everything you’d expect from the man."

“NIGO® Only Lives Twice” Sotheby’s auction

"NIGO presents the first of many rare items in his extensive collection soon to be offered on the block through international auction house Sotheby's this fall. Titled "NIGO® Only Lives Twice," among the pieces is the sculpture seen here which was the first of a set of four he bought in Milan eight years ago. Consisting of multiple pastel-colored ceramic pieces, the fragile installations are typically only assembled and handled by NIGO himself and have served as inspiration in many of his projects he designed for.

NIGO's auction starts on October 7."
