NEEDLES and Sasquatchfabrix. Release Third Apparel Collaboration
Starring pigeon and dove patterns.
Joining forces for the third time, NEEDLES and Sasquatchfabrix. have just dropped their latest clothing capsule collection for NEPENTHES.
Familiar silhouettes from the duo’s former collections can be spotted with slight new twists, for instance: the Velvet Lave Snap Cardigan Jacket is a fall-iteration of the Velvet v-neck cardigan. While the previous collab featured a darker and retro color palette, this new collection boasts hues that are more vibrant with a few muted notes. Embellishments come in the form of crochet lace trims that can be found on the sleeves and legs of the garments.
Made up of 10 pieces, the capsule centers on “peace” as its key theme and is sartorially expressed through its patterns and motifs as seen across its tracksuits, jeans, sweaters, pants, and jackets. For instance, the jacquard knit cardigan and polo sweaters come with an all-over repeat pattern that’s reminiscent of Picasso’s dove illustrations. In addition, the tracksuits arrive in an intricate allover pattern depicting pigeons.
Take a closer look at the collection’s lookbook above, shot by Syoya Aoki.
Prices range from ¥30,800 – ¥52,800 JPY (approximately $206 – $353 USD), the collection is available to shop for a limited time only at NEPENTHES’ online shop as well as select stores in Japan. See below for the list of participating stores.
