MONKEY BUSINESS: For A Bathing Ape’s Nigo, who was in Paris especially for Colette’s party in honor of architect Masamichi Katayama on Saturday, the scene at his and Katayama’s double book signing that morning was totally unexpected. “I was surprised that so many people came. In Hong Kong you can expect 2,000 kids, but I had no idea there would be that kind of reaction in Paris,” said the designer, who was dressed in shirt, jacket, cap, belt and jeans all of his own design, with an Hermès tie and bespoke shoes. Then he mused about what he would likely spin as one of the guest DJs at the after party at Regine’s: “I’ll probably go for hip-hop,” he said just before the party, attended by the likes of Thom Browne, Victoire de Castellane and pastry chef Pierre Hermé.
