Cool video interview with Uniqlo founder Tadashi Yanai. The first part is a sit-down interview. The second is a walk through of one of Uniqulo’s show rooms in Japan, where the company was started in ‘84.
Three things; 1. the Gap comparisons… kinda’ wierd.
2. Much more apt would be an American Apparel (or, to a lesser extent H&M) comparison; The anti-brand, basics, quality (though not in the case of H&M).
3. I love his skinny jeans to wide jeans prediction. I don’t know Yanai, I don’t know.
There is also a interview transcript here.
