Discover the UNIQLO and NEEDLES fleece collection, featuring modern, genderless designs with NEEDLES’s signature aesthetic. Available in Manila stores and online starting October 31.
Global apparel brand UNIQLO is set to unveil its first-ever collaboration with NEEDLES, a fashion label known for its refined aesthetic and creative foresight, on October 31, 2025. This collaboration brings together UNIQLO's high-quality LifeWear craftsmanship with NEEDLES’s distinctive design philosophy. Founded by Keizo Shimizu, NEEDLES is part of the NEPENTHES group and is celebrated worldwide for its thoughtful and iconic designs. The new collection emphasizes the simple elegance of UNIQLO fleece while incorporating NEEDLES’s signature butterfly motif and subtle design details.
Keizo Shimizu shared his excitement about the collaboration, stating that NEEDLES has always shared its ideas at its own pace from Jingumae, Tokyo. By merging the butterfly motif and unique silhouettes with UNIQLO’s classic fleece, the collaboration offers special pieces that reflect both brands’ identities. Shimizu looks forward to presenting the NEEDLES vision to a wider global audience through this partnership.
The collection features three main items that highlight the beauty of basic design. Available in versatile single-tone colors including black, gray, beige, and purple, the pieces showcase NEEDLES’s meticulous attention to detail. The Fleece Full-Zip Jacket combines a modern, relaxed silhouette with vintage-inspired colors reminiscent of the 1970s. The Fleece Oversized Cardigan is offered in both solid colors and stripes, incorporating NEEDLES’s iconic patterns while adapting to the UNIQLO fit. Completing the collection, the Fleece Wide Pants feature a straight, elegant silhouette with subtle side stripes that match the fabric for a sophisticated touch. These genderless pieces allow fashion enthusiasts to enjoy NEEDLES’s unique aesthetic in everyday LifeWear.
The UNIQLO x NEEDLES collection will be available from October 31, 2025, at the UNIQLO Manila Global Flagship Store, UNIQLO SM Mall of Asia, UNIQLO SM Megamall, and the online store at uniqlo.com. The lineup includes the Fleece Full-Zip Jacket priced at ₱2,490, the Fleece Oversized Cardigan at ₱1,990, and the Fleece Wide Pants also at ₱1,990.
NEEDLES, founded in 1995 by Keizo Shimizu, reflects a personal vision shaped by decades of travel and fashion industry experience. The brand name “NEEDLES” merges “needle” and “less,” symbolizing a philosophy of using no more than necessary. Its signature designs and timeless aesthetic continue to influence contemporary fashion.
