UNIQLO once again proves its ability to combine functionality with refined style – this time in collaboration with one of Japan's most distinctive brands, Needles. The Fall 2025 collaboration is a meeting of two worlds: the minimalist philosophy of LifeWear and the artistic spirit of streetwear luxury, long embodied by Keizo Shimizu. The result? A collection that brings vintage aesthetics into a modern context, while maintaining a balance between everyday comfort and the distinct character of Needles' designs.

The Needles x Uniqlo collaboration reinterprets classic pieces in the spirit of Japanese design. The pieces include oversized fleece jackets inspired by the 1970s, soft cardigans with distinctive stripes, and wide-leg trousers with side tape—a signature Needles detail that has already gained cult status among streetwear fans. The collection retains the simplicity and functionality typical of Uniqlo, but introduces an artistic lightness and a unique retro sportswear vibe. The entire collection is maintained in a subdued, autumnal palette—shades of beige, brown, black, and deep purple dominate, lending the designs elegance and cohesion.



The release date caused a lot of excitement among fans - the drop took place October 31, 2025, and the clothes disappeared from the website as quickly as they appeared. Judging by the community's reaction, Needles x Uniqlo has the potential to become one of the most coveted collaborations of the season. It's a collection that connects generations—from lovers of minimalist design to fans of Japanese heritage and classy urban style. If previous Uniqlo collaborations showed that simplicity can be art, this one with Needles proves that art can also be comfortable.
