Uniqlo (Oxford Street)

Uniqlo is Japan's leading clothing retail chain in terms of both sales and profits.

FAST RETAILING first branched out overseas in September 2001 with the opening of its first UNIQLO store in London, England. Six years later, in November 2007 we took the major step of opening a global flagship store on London's Oxford Street. Our network of stores in the heart of London has continued to grow, reaching 14 stores as of the end of August 2010.

Staples of the Uniqlo brand include HEATTECH thermal underwear for men and women, well-cut jeans, graphic T-shirts, and cut-price cashmere and merino wool jumpers and cardigans.

The Spring/Summer collection 2011 turns to wide spaces and primordial colour contrasts: chalky Sahara whites, taupe pillars of stone, boldly outlined by fiery red, sky blue and elemental black.

Buoyant shapes play with the breeze. Dresses look easy: meticulously fitted to invite free movement, Blouses are both, sporty and feminine, tops range from classic to Kaftan. Looks come together with weightless jackets in various styles and fabrics such as light wool, twill, and techno–taffeta. Pinstripe pants with jackets have been masterfully executed and reduced to their essence. Ultra thin sweaters and t–shirts give shape to the body.
