# Flowing Spring Heritage Fashion NEEDLES' Papillon Komon Capsule is Prepared for Warm Seasons By Amy Duong | Published 2021-03-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/papillon-komon References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2021/3/needles-papillon-komon-collection-release-info) & [nepenthes.co.jp](https://nepenthes.co.jp/) The Papillon Komon collection by [NEEDLES](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/special-release) is the latest seasonal range that is designed for the Spring/Summer 2021 season. The Japanese fashion label delivers a strong sense of pattern throughout the designs, lead by designer Keizo Shimizu. There are prominent influences from Japanese culture, nodding to the brand's own heritage as the traditional Japanese kimono patterns can be seen in the capsule. The iconic butterfly motif true to NEEDLES can be seen across some of the silky clothing items including the track jackets in a short sleeve cut and the long sleeve shorts. The rest of the capsule includes pieces such as the poly mesh cardigans and the notable [track pants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/journal-standard-x-needles). The Papillon Komon capsule boasts color blocking in themes such as black and brown or purple and black.
