'PEACE TO WORLD' – Needles × Kenji Suzuki × Sasquatchfabrix.
PEACE TO WORLD (平和を卋界に) is a new limited collaboration between Needles and Sasquatchfabrix.
Kenji Suzuki (1906–1987) was a leading Japanese printmaker active from before WWII through the postwar era. His work warmly depicted everyday life while sharply criticising war, injustice, and oppression.
The collection draws inspiration from Suzuki’s illustrated scroll Peace for the World, a work that gently portrays workers, farmers, and children while powerfully condemning war and oppression. Created at a time when the threat of nuclear weapons feels increasingly real, the capsule carries forward Suzuki’s message of peace and hope for future generations.
The collection features classic Needles track wear as interpreted by Sasquatchfabrix. using incredibly beautiful and detailed jacquard fabric, as well as T-shirts featuring print works by Kenji Suzuki and a pair of Rebuild fatigues with screenprinted graphics. The origami crane design used in the jacquard fabric can also be found on matching mohair cardigans, each delivered with a custom pin badge.
