Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

HIDDEN.NY and NEEDLES Join on a Capsule of Apparel

— April 12, 2022 — Lifestyle
HIDDEN.NY and NEEDLES join forces for a special collection full of upcycled looks for the season. The special edition project is led by the Rebuild by Needles program, which uses cut-and-sew techniques to breathe life back into discarded materials. It can be seen by the armholes and sleeves, which are made to have a raw layering DIY visual language.

This can be seen throughout the collection of tri-tonal streetwear items. This includes the tees and hoodies that are marked with co-branding accents including paisley prints, the h emblems, lily pond graphics, floating blocked text, and other logos. This is paired with the signature NEEDLES purple papillon emblem - the items are detailed with stitching lines to round out the looks.
