Japanese streetwear brand Needles was founded in 1955 by Keizo Shimizu. By exploring juxtapositions of American cultural movements with Japanese shapes and fabrics, Needles is known today for its avant-garde, re-imagined Americana clothing made of rich Japanese textiles. It was one of the first brands under the Nepenthes umbrella and is now divided into two sub-labels, including Needles Sportswear and Needles Rebuild.
