Bape x Ferrari

This popped up a few days ago over in the recently opened F&M centre on the south side of HK. The owner of the I.T clothing chain has a fairly sizable collection himself.

Suits the 458. On his Gullwing however..

It's all fun/marketing and non-permanent so no harm done. It's achieved its purpose in putting the brand names around the world and into the minds it otherwise wouldn't have done, so a solid success from their point of view. These are all toys to have fun in at the end of the day, so as long as the execution and quality of the work are good then I'm all for it. The camouflage print on the Phantom, while not to everyone's taste and something the traditionalist will lose their monocle over, suits the big, bluff machine if you have the look yourself to carry it off. It's hardly a shrinking violet in standard paint

The I.T group sell a little bit more than pricey hoodies From a tiny 200sqft shop, Kar Wai built up a network in HK, Shanghai and Beijing that represents and distributes the smaller, exclusive brands that were never available on this side of the planet, before listing on the HKSE in 2005. A true world class grafter from humble beginnings, and one who manages to get some of the sweetest retail locations town, the swine! His car collection is VERY tidy too! Buying up Bape (who I believe they partnered with for their HK outlet) is no doubt part of a plan to control and flood the Chinese market with the stuff before it becomes yesterday's news.

Not entirely sure if their 458 GT3 car will be racing at the Macau GP next weekend. It would be great to see and hear it in action on the street circuit if it is.

Pre-race build-up. Someone forgot to charge the camera batteries so snaps from an old iphone will have to suffice.









And a few of the 12C GT3 just because, well look at it!

2nd on the grid.
