TRACKSUIT: The Velour Tracksuit was color was named ‘Light Sage’. It was inspired by a 1960’s Aston Martin. The Stripe colors were selected to convey a hibiscus flower. The pink base, representing the overall hues of the flower, the the bright red, representing the deep colors from the center. A darker olive green was chosen for the embroidery, with a refined nod to the stem of the flower.

MOHAIR CARDIGAN: The cardigan was Anthony Cataldo’s idea drawing inspiration from one of the many hairstyles of Dennis Rodman, during his career with the Chicago Bulls in the 90’s. The pattern spacing is a nod to a Supreme cardigan circa Spring/Summer 20.

Hibiscus Flower Print Hawaiian Western Button Up: This print pattern was hand done by the internal design team at Needles. It was a reference to a previous print they had done that Anthony owned using pineapples.
