A pivotal force in the realm of street fashion, Needles stands out with its eclectic fusion of American vintage, Japanese textiles, and avant-garde aesthetics. Founded by Keizo Shimizu in 1988 as part of his Nepenthes conglomerate, Needles is celebrated for its distinctive approach that boldly reinterprets classic Americana through a Japanese lens. If know you think all these fusion is the norm, it is also thanks to Needles.

At Needles, there’s a palpable sense of the experimental in every collection, which resonates with a clientele that values both heritage and innovation. The brand’s use of high-quality, often recycled, materials speaks to a commitment to sustainability without sacrificing style.
