This store will witness the coming together of the very best UNIQLO products, visual merchandising, store operation, service and creativity, all focused on bringing you the very latest UNIQLO season. We see Paris, the world’s core city of fashion, as the perfect stage from which to launch UNIQLO around the globe.
The Opening of Global Flagship Paris Opera Store
The Paris Opera Store, UNIQLO’s third global flagship store after New York and London, is to open in the Opera District of Paris on Thursday, October 1, 2009.
Our global flagship stores are designed as “showcases to the world” displaying the very best that UNIQLO has to offer at any one time. We see the opening of a global flagship store in Paris, the city at the very heart of the fashion world, as a big step in UNIQLO’s quest to become a truly global brand.
The Paris Opera Store will span three floors, two above and one below ground level. While preserving the exterior structure of this historical building built in 1866, the interior is daringly modern expressing the very latest, very best of UNIQLO. Natural light streams in through the central atrium to illuminate the 2150sqm shop floor. Revolving mannequins placed in glass boxes throughout the store and in the LED diode-lit windows, will display the very latest UNIQLO fashions. A total of fifty-three monitors have been strategically placed around the store to provide UNIQLO information pertinent to that particular part of the store and the products on offer there. The store evokes a sense of Japan and the very latest from Tokyo, the perfect store and the perfect city of fashion from which to transmit the very latest UNIQLO around the globe.
