Changing clothes. Changing conventional wisdom. Change the world.

UNIQLO stems from the words 'unique' and 'clothing' – easy and clever, just like our clothes. Our philosophy is based on the premise of Life Wear: apparel that comes from the Japanese values of simplicity, quality and longevity. Life Wear is clothing that is constantly being innovated, bringing more warmth, more lightness, better design, and better comfort to people's lives.

As the leading brand of the Fast Retailing Group, UNIQLO continues to open large-scale stores in some of the world's most important cities and locations, as part of its ongoing efforts to solidify its status as a global brand. Today the company has more than 2,500 stores in 26 markets around the world.

Australia stands as a key market for UNIQLO in establishing its brand in the Asia and Oceania region and remains focused on continuing its growth. UNIQLO opened the first store, in Emporium, Melbourne, in April 2014, and as of today has expanded to 40 stores across Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, Western Australia, Queensland, and Australian Capital Territory.
