This new store represents a prototype for global roadside UNIQLO stores going forward, and features innovative design elements that are a first-of-their-kind for the company.įor the new Maebashi store, Kashiwa Sato, Creative Director and CEO, SAMURAI Inc. Global apparel retailer UNIQLO will open the UNIQLO Maebashi Minami IC Store on Friday, April 21st, at Maebashi (Gunma Prefecture, Japan). You can see the full line-up here.Last Updated: 2023.04.19 UNIQLO to Open New Prototype Store at Maebashi, Gunma - New store brings together energy-saving focus with expanded suite of lifestyle services The Makoto Shinkai UNIQLO collection will hit stores July 22. With such a big property, it really does make sense for UNIQLO to hop onto the band-wagon.

He surprised everyone in 2016 when Your Name. made over 350 million dollars worldwide. By the time Your Name. came out Shinkai was already an industry veteran and people thought 5cm Per Second was going to be his masterpiece. Weathering With You is already set for English release and we’re sure audiences in other countries won’t have to wait too long. Makoto Shinkai’s latest film comes out in Japan in just 5 days. Some are subtle, like the Red String Of Fate design, and some aren’t like the ones that just feature the poster artwork for each respective film.

There’s a wide variety of designs and they’ll retail around the 1,500 yen or 15 dollar mark. Sorry, 5cm Per Second and Voices Of A Distant Star fans. One of my favorites from the Shinkai collection is this barely colored in line-art from Your Name. This newest UNIQLO line is only focusing on Your Name. and the upcoming Weathering With You for their prints. Your Name. is the highest profiting Japanese film ever, so them wanting to team up with Shinkai makes sense.

However, usually, UNIQLO goes for big Shonen properties or something like Sailor Moon or Mobile Suit Gundam which have millions of fans around the world. Most recently, I wrote about the ONE PIECE: STAMPEDE collection hitting shelves later this month. Now, we write about a UNIQLO collaboration every other week or so. Like the comet that comes down to earth in Your Name., Makoto Shinkai is teaming up with UNIQLO for a line of shirts that’ll descend into select shops around the world July 22.
