Global apparel retailer UNIQLO today announces the launch of UNIQLO and NEEDLES, the very first collaboration that combines UNIQLO's high-quality manufacturing with NEEDLES's aesthetic sense and foresight. Loved by fashion enthusiasts, NEEDLES is a brand designed by Keizo Shimizu, founder of the clothing store NEPENTHES. This new addition to LifeWear reflects UNIQLO's iconic fleece evolving with the refined taste of NEEDLES, emphasizing the true appeal of the product in a simple design.
Commenting on the new collaboration with UNIQLO, Keizo Shimizu said: Since founding NEPENTHES in 1988 and establishing NEEDLES in 1995, we have continued to share our thoughts and ideas with the world at our own pace from our location in Jingumae, in Tokyo. By adding the butterfly motif and silhouette to give UNIQLO's signature fleece a NEEDLES feel, we have created iconic and special items. We look forward to bringing the world of NEEDLES to a wider audience through this collaboration.
Three items brimming with discerning exactness evident in the basic design
The combination of NEEDLES's attention to detail and UNIQLO fleece has produced a special collection that embodies the beauty in basic design. Three types of items are available in simple, single tone colors of black, gray, beige and purple.
NEEDLES's signature color palette and aesthetic sense revealed in the details
The Fleece Full-zip Jacket, with its modern and relaxed silhouette and chic NEEDLES coloring, draws inspiration from vintage items from the 1970s. The Fleece Oversized Cardigan, available in solid colors and stripes, takes NEEDLES's iconic pattern and tailors it to match the UNIQLO fit. The Fleece Wide Pants have an elegant straight silhouette, with stripes down the side in the same color as the fabric for a sophisticated look. Enjoy this genderless new fleece collection with the aesthetic sense and worldview of NEEDLES made possible through collaboration with UNIQLO.

About NEEDLES
Founded in 1995 by Keizo Shimizu, the NEEDLES brand reflects a vision and personal viewpoint cultivated through 40 years of world travel and fashion industry experience. The brand name "NEEDLES" was coined by combining "needle" and "less," taking meaning from "need-less," or not using more than necessary.
