Billionaire Boys Club
When Pharrell Williams of N.E.R.D. fame wanted to start up his own clothing label, he looked to Nigo of A Bathing Ape to help him. Now in its 9th season, the Billionaire Boys Club (BBC) continues to stretch the boundaries of street wear by bringing something different every season and bucking the trends.
Which brand do you prefer?
I voted for Bape because I like the designs better, besides without Bape we wouldn't have BBC. I like BBC alot but sometimes they are hit or miss.
ReplyDeletePlus I'm a huge fan of the animal hoodys; tiger, shark and the panda. Something BBC/IC will never be able to compete with in my book.
Agreed. I'm actually surprised that BBC is putting up a fight in this poll. 16 years vs 5
ReplyDeleteTheir 1st 2 or so seasons were beastly and they kinda outshined bape actually. But that didn't last long. Bape is more practical and they are constantly amazing us.
