# Deconstructed Collaborative Streetwear HIDDEN.NY and NEEDLES Join on a Capsule of Apparel By Amy Duong | Published 2022-04-12 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiddenny-and-needles References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2022/4/hidden-ny-needles-collab-release-info) & [hbx](https://hbx.com/) [HIDDEN.NY](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiddenny-x-ugg) and [NEEDLES](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tss) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ys-for-men-x-masses) 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.
