WILDSIDE Yohji Yamamoto is partnering with NEEDLES for a new retro-style collaboration that focuses on deconstruction in fashion. The ‘Flannel 7cut Wide Shirt,’ a loose-fitting shirt produced from a disassembled flannel, was created as part of the partnership. The shirt features a peony embroidered on its left-side chest pocket and an irregularly cut hem in WILDSIDE's signature black color as a nod to Yohji Yamato.
Since each shirt is made using a different check pattern, color, thread, and button depending on the original piece it was reconstructed from, no two pieces are alike. The retail price for the WILDSIDE Yohji Yamamoto x Rebuild by NEEDLES Flannel 7cut Wide Shirt is 37,400 JPY, or around $272 USD. The item will be on sale on December 14 at the WILDSIDE Yohji Yamamoto store in Shinsaibashi, Osaka.
