For the Spring/Summer season of 2018, a new Needles collection was released. As the Japanese designer brand has been known for its timeless styles that are modernized for today's consumers, it's not much of a surprise that it's latest drop is full of vintage looks that have a bit of contemporary flair.
Included in the collection are paisley-print coats of varying lengths and styles, boldly striped wide-leg pants, loud button-up shirts, relaxed-fit dresses in vivid colorways, tie-dye ensembles, and much more. Although the patterns and cuts are reminiscent of the hippie era, Needles often makes use of contemporary materials and combines the retro looks with some futuristic-looking pieces to add a bit of contrast to the collection.
