AN ICONIC DUO: NEEDLES X BARACUTA

{"heading" : "Embracing bright colors, patterns, and eccentric fantasies, Spring Summer 2023 kicks off with an unmissable collabo between two real streetwear icons: Needles x Baracuta. Japanese aesthetics and Britishness meet across three items in three different colorways, including Baracuta's original G9 Harrington Jacket in a brand new Jacquard version." }

This is not the first time the two brands have teamed up, brought together by a shared desire to create something unique that can last through the years and be loved today as well as by future generations. Needles was born in 1997 and quickly became an icon thanks to its unmistakable contemporary style, combining the design of Western and American military uniforms with the sophisticated aesthetic of fine Japanese fabrics. Several years earlier, however, in rainy Manchester, Baracuta, began creating a true legend: the G9 Harrington Jacket. With its Fraser Tartan lining, stand-up collar, and umbrella back yoke, this bomber jacket proved an instant hit. Beloved not only in the UK and Europe but also overseas, it has been worn over the years by some of the most influential celebrities ever, from Steve McQueen to Elvis Presley as well as Leonardo DiCaprio and Bradley Cooper. Today, Needles and Baracuta have jointly created a collection whose main character is undoubtedly the G9 Harrington Jacket, which takes on a whole new persona thanks to Needles' Jacquard fabric, patterns, and colorful motifs. Matching pants and hunting cap complete the release. This is the first time Baracuta has made a complete tracksuite that includes the G9 - you do not want to miss it.

The Needles and Baracuta collaboration revolves around the Needles x Baracuta G9 Jacquard, which features a blend of British, American and Japanese influences from the combined heritage of the both brands. The garment preserves all the signature features of the original Baracuta G9, but some new twists are introduced. From the unique and colorful Japanese intricate patterns to the Needles' trademark butterfly logo-every detail works perfectly to make this jacket a true must-have. The Needles x Baracuta Jacquard pants express boldness and ease through a kaleidoscope of colors and patterns, while the pleating on the leg lends class and elegance. The Needles logo and Fraser Tartan lining the inside pockets refine the garment. Last but not least, the Needles x Baracuta Jacquard hat is just the right accessory to complete the outfit with an extra touch of charisma, personality and color. The Butterfly Needles logo graces it on the side, while the Fraser Tartan mesh lining on the inside adds the final touch of style.
