To be the first in the world to realize this basic business principle, we are working to understand the needs of our customers and provide them with a new purchasing experience both in stores and on the e-commerce site. In this position, we will be the second brand in Fast Retailing after UNIQLO, with a brand message of "YOUR FREEDOM. The brand's raison d'être is to inspire people through the power of fashion.
■Department Overview
