to Japanese page
Global apparel retailer UNIQLO today announces that the renovated UNIQLO GINZA, a global flagship store first opened almost 10 years ago, will reopen on Friday, September 17. Designed around the concept of "New Life, New Wear, New GINZA," the store is brimming with special amenities and aesthetic sense across all 12 floors, including artistic installations that express the LifeWear brand philosophy, special salons for women's innerwear and for suits, and a café.
A new global flagship store
The entire UNIQLO GINZA store, from 1F to 12F, has been refurbished around the concept of "New Life, New Wear, New GINZA." The stylish sales areas, expert staff, and high-quality services create a new global flagship store where customers are able to experience UNIQLO's aesthetic sense and commitment to making clothing, while they shop.
Installations on each floor showcase the Art and Science of LifeWear
UNIQLO LifeWear is simple, high-quality everyday wear that enhances the lives of all people with a practical sense of beauty and sophisticated design. Installations have been created on each floor to convey the appeal of this concept at a glance.
At the first-floor entrance, customers are welcomed by a pendulum art installation that uses 20 different colors of cashmere knits. The fourth floor features the work "Hitobito Iroiro" (literally "all sorts of people") by architect, artist and designer Emmanuelle Moureaux, which expresses the joy of wearing one's favorite items of clothing, and the richness of colors. Among the many other highlights is an installation conveying the functionality of such representative UNIQLO products as Ultra Light Down, 3D Knit, and HEATTECH, and a floor to learn about sustainability.
New shopping experiences
UNIQLO GINZA newly offers a comprehensive range of services and LifeWear experiences, such as salons with specially trained staff providing the highest level of customers service, an in-store café offering UNIQLO's first original coffee, and a photo booth where customers can take commemorative photos in front of an original backdrop. The store also features the popular UNIQLO FLOWER Shop.
Original goods sold in collaboration with well-known Ginza stores
UNIQLO GINZA will sell T-shirts, tote bags, and other exclusive items developed in collaboration with long-established and popular shops in the Ginza district. It will also sell specialty items from each store, such as stationery from ITOYA, incense from Kyukyodo, and handicrafts from Ginza Takumi, working in collaboration with the local community to communicate the traditions and culture of Ginza and Tokyo to the world.
