■Recruitment Background:
Launched in 2003, UNIQLO’s T-shirt brand “UT” has evolved by incorporating cultures from around the world under the concept of “Making T-shirts more free and fun.” Through collaborations with artists, characters, and brands, we continue to present T-shirts not merely as clothing, but as a tool for expressing individuality and values.
In 2006, UT gained global attention following the “Japanese Pop Culture Project” at the New York SOHO store, and today its presence is growing globally in regions such as the US, EU, and ASEAN.Moving forward, we are seeking individuals to support the production of UT collaboration products (licensed merchandise) to help drive UNIQLO toward becoming the world’s No. 1 apparel brand by realizing diverse collaborations that surprise customers worldwide and embody UNIQLO’s “LifeWear” philosophy centered on culture.
