Oct 18, 2011 @ 2:15 pm

Visiting New York soon? Make sure you put the new Fifth Avenue Uniqlo flagship store on your Shops to See List, if merely to witness the spectacle of the massive 89,000 square-foot space for yourself. While the retailer is one of the biggest companies in Japan, the October opening of this spot marks its second store in the U.S. (both in NYC). If you’re not coming to New York, let Uniqlo come to you: Plans are in the works to bring the total number of locations across the country up to 200 by 2020. Click through the gallery to preview Uniqlo’s newest (and biggest) shopping destination.

Vena Cava for Uniqlo Collection Available Today!

May 12, 2011 @ 10:05 am

Leading Japanese retailer Uniqlo collaborated with rising New York label Vena Cava for a six-piece collection that lands in stores today! “We chose to collaborate with Uniqlo because we really believe in good design offered at an affordable price point,” said Vena Cava designers Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock (inset). The price point for the lineup of dresses, tunics, and tops is certainly wallet-friendly, as each piece sells for $29.90. “The idea of creating signature prints for Uniqlo that have a Vena Cava feeling was a very inspiring design proposal,” the pair continued. The collection is available starting today in the New York’s Uniqlo store in Soho. Click “See the Photos” to browse the Vena Cava for Uniqlo collection!

How to Donate Clothing to Japan’s Tsunami Relief Efforts

Mar 15, 2011 @ 1:05 pm

It’s been four days since a devastating earthquake and resulting tsunami swept through northeastern Japan, and many of the country’s citizens have been left without basic necessities like clothing, food, and shelter. Enter Lady Gaga, Steven Alan and Uniqlo, who have all sprung into action by announcing special Japan fundraisers. Lady Gaga’s “We Pray for Japan” wristbands, which sell for $5 on her Web site, have already raised $250,000 to support relief efforts, while Steven Alan is donating 15% of all sales to International Medical Corps through March 17th. Uniqlo‘s parent company Fast Retailing has promised to give 1.4 billion yen ($17.3 million) to organizations like the Japanese Red Cross. Plus, if you want to donate clothing, all Fast-Retailing-owned stores worldwide, including Uniqlo, Theory, and Comptoir des Cotonniers will soon house donation boxes where customers can drop off used garments.

Update: Uniqlo has canceled their plans to accept clothing donations, due to shipping difficulties. However, the store is accepting monetary donations via an official Red Cross box. Similar boxes will be set up in Theory on March 18th, and in Comptoir des Cotonniers the following week.
