【 Design Details & Features 】
▌One-of-a-Kind Masterpiece: Each shirt is handcrafted from multiple vintage flannel shirts. Due to the nature of the vintage source material, the color, patterns, and distressed details are unique to every single piece.
▌Signature 5-Cuts Reconstruction: Features the iconic 5-cuts design, where several shirts are meticulously spliced together to create a complex, multi-paneled patchwork aesthetic with an irregular hemline.
▌Romantic Frill Accents: This piece reinterprets rugged Americana by adding elegant frilled edges, embodying Needles' core philosophy of subverting gender norms and traditional silhouettes.
▌Vintage Texture: Made from 100% cotton flannel that has aged beautifully, offering a soft hand-feel and an authentic "reconstructed" vibe with raw edges and varied fabric textures.
▌Relaxed Oversized Fit: The One Size (OS) silhouette provides a dramatic, wide-bodied drape that works perfectly as a standalone top or a striking outer layer for bold, multi-dimensional styling.
BRAND STORY / NEEDLES
Needles —— Keizo Shimizu’s Deconstructed Vision: Redefining the "Butterfly" Legacy.
Founded in 1995 by Keizo Shimizu, the representative of Nepenthes. Building on the foundation of Nepenthes (est. 1988), Needles is the manifestation of Shimizu’s obsession with American vintage, military workwear, and Japanese craftsmanship. The iconic butterfly logo, inspired by the film *Papillon*, symbolizes a rebellious yet sophisticated spirit.
In 2010, the brand launched the "REBUILD by NEEDLES" capsule collection, focusing on the art of upcycling vintage garments. Meanwhile, the Needles Sportswear line has become a global phenomenon, bridging the gap between retro athletic wear and high-fashion streetwear.
With a design vocabulary that spans Bohemian aesthetics and tactical utility, Needles continues to challenge conventional boundaries. It is not just a brand, but a continuous experiment where Shimizu explores the intersection of heritage textiles and modern avant-garde design.
