Needles Spring/Summer 2023

Haven Neiman

Established in 1997 by Keiso Shimizu in Tokyo, Japan, Needles is considered one of the most prominent Japanese vintage apparel brands. The label is best known for its unique and casual styles that feature a vintage aesthetic. Each piece is crafted in Japan, and the brand houses two ‘sub-labels,’ Needles Sportswear and Rebuild by Needles. Rebuild by Needles is the most prominent of the two and is known for reworking vintage apparel into sewing them into something entirely different, such as the brand’s iconic reworked flannels.


Needles was instilled to project Shimizu’s vision, which takes the concept of clothes being mass-produced and left without purpose, therefore becoming rebuilt. The label utilizes Japanese textiles to design and craft various eccentric yet uniquely-American styles.


With that, the eccentric brand introduces the Spring/Summer 2023 collection, which takes on unique and eclectic versions of vintage-inspired fashion. The Japanese brand is pushing boundaries with new designs and unexpected combinations of materials, textures, and colors, all while drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese aesthetics. Each piece is created with high attention to detail and quality. 


A mixture of prints, patterns, and playfulness creates a unique collection that is a can’t-miss for the new season. Needles again brings back its signature Flannel Shirt 7 Cuts Wide Reflection Shirt. Composed of reworked cotton flannels, the silhouette is made for a wide fit and takes on a reflective coating for added dimension. A classic collar and a button closure add further functionality. A chest pocket can be found, while the asymmetrical hem and single-button cuffs rounds out the remainder of the design. Additionally, the Flannel Shirt Ribbon Reflection Shirt also makes a statement with its cotton construction and button-down closure. Made from an assortment of vintage shirts, the design is stitched together. The eclectic design utilizes a pointed collar and a patch pocket for functionality. The reflective coating is placed throughout the exterior, finishing the design.


A stand-out addition to this collection is the M.W. Jean Jacket Papillion JQ. The Needles brand is highly recognized for its signature papillon motif, stitched throughout this silhouette. The jacket is composed entirely of cotton and features a pointed collar. A button-down closure can also be found, while the two front pockets offer a functional touch to the design. The buttoned cuffs complete the overall silhouette.
