WILDSIDE Yohji Yamamoto and cult-favourite label NEEDLES are set to release a new collaborative capsule on July 30, 2025, offering a refined blend of Western tailoring and emblematic Japanese embroidery. The limited-edition drop consists of a pocket T-shirt and a satin cowboy shirt, both reinterpreting NEEDLES’ butterfly motif with WILDSIDE’s iconic rose symbol.
Poetic Embroidery Meets Western Tailoring
This collaboration channels both brands’ distinct design sensibilities—Yamamoto’s moody romanticism and NEEDLES’ Americana-infused streetwear. The pocket tee keeps the design restrained, featuring an embroidered butterfly-and-rose motif subtly placed above the chest pocket. It will be available in two colourways: navy with grey stitching and black with bold red embroidery.
On the other hand, the cowboy shirt leans into vintage Western influences, cut from satin with a soft sheen and tonal stripes. The boxy, cropped fit is adorned with embroidery across the front and back, delivering a standout silhouette that combines classic styling with elevated detailing.
Launch Details and Pricing
The capsule will be available at WILDSIDE Yohji Yamamoto stores and select global retailers. Pricing is set at:
- ¥19,800 JPY (approx. $133 USD) for the pocket tee
- ¥37,400 JPY (approx. $250 USD) for the satin cowboy shirt
This release marks another successful fusion of aesthetics, celebrating craftsmanship, subtle rebellion, and timeless subcultural codes. With limited availability, both pieces are expected to become collectors’ items among fashion enthusiasts and loyal followers of both brands.
