Linking up with long-term collaborators Needles on a 5-piece offering that places material composition to the forefront, END. continue their 20th anniversary celebrations with the ‘Nylon’ collection.
Moving things in a more muted direction following the earthy tones of ‘Rattan’ and the natural blue hues of the ‘Indigo Wash’ capsule, END. x Needles ‘Nylon’ delivers a monochrome make-up across the collection’s five garments. Made in Japan from a durable and robust nylon fabric that features a crinkled handle, each piece delivers a striking blend of Japanese streetwear attitude and forward-thinking design rooted in subtle sophistication.
Individually detailed with a platinum silver rendition of the iconic Needles Papillon logo placed above END.’s signature branding in a nod to the modern gift associated with a 20th anniversary, the collection’s five pieces honour the importance of taking time to reflect on milestone moments.
Centring around a quiet rendition of Needles’ infamous Track Pants and Track Crew Neck Shirt, both mesh-lined pieces are embellished with the Aoyama-based brand’s trademark taping to the sleeves and legs. The fan favourite Cabana Shirt makes a return in a short-sleeved variation, detailed with concealed press stud buttons and a spread collar for a sharper sartorial outlook on a vacation classic, while the Sport Jacket adds a subtle utilitarian sensibility to the collection. Lined with mesh and featuring a duo of flap chest pockets, a two-way zip closure in silver is detailed with bespoke Papillion branding, while an articulated hem maintains the jacket’s sporting silhouette. Complete with the 6-panel Workers Cap, the ‘Nylon’ collection from END. and Needles delivers the ideal union of effortless style and supreme quality.
The END. x Needles ‘Nylon’ collection will launch online at endclothing.com on 23rd June 2025.
