■Recruitment Background

Since its launch in 2003, "UT" has continued to produce collaboration T-shirts. With its growing global presence in regions such as the US, EU, and ASEAN, the importance of planning collaboration products has also increased. To ensure we continue delivering timeless value to customers worldwide, we are seeking individuals who can drive the production of "UT" collaboration products (licensed merchandise).

■Department Overview

"UT," UNIQLO’s T-shirt brand, launched in 2003 as the "UNIQLO T-shirt Project." Under the theme "Make T-shirts more free and fun," it has promoted T-shirts as a tool for freely expressing individuality to a wide audience.In the fall of 2006, the opening of the UNIQLO SOHO NY store featured a flagship project titled “Japanese Pop Culture Project.” This initiative garnered significant attention when leading Japanese artists used T-shirts as their canvas to express “Contemporary Tokyo” through their own creative visions. This success accelerated our efforts to create the world’s best T-shirts. Since then, we have continued to collaborate with artists, characters, companies, and brands worldwide, delivering an overwhelming variety of graphic T-shirts to our customers every year.By realizing collaborations that surprise customers around the world, centering on culture, and embodying UNIQLO’s “LifeWear,” we are driving UNIQLO to become the world’s number one apparel brand in both name and reality.
