It’s hard to find non-UNIQLO topic on fashion industry.  It’s fact that UNIQLO is such a growing company in the world.

Today, UNIQLO again annunced their new future plan, and this time they are going to try in Russian market.

Decades ago when cold war was still real, who could imagine a Japanese company would make branches in Russia with such high risk ?

Time really passed.  Now a Japanese company, in addition, a fashion brand company will appear in Moscow main street.  Until some years ago, Japan was just an importer from fashion items, not an exporter.

One expectation I have is that Russian people would get surprised if they see UNIQLO items, which are really cheap but highly quality controlled products.  I think they will be surprised how UNIQLO’s cost performance is excellent.

Now I checked my clothes today, socks, pants, underwear, shirt, jacket, and belt are all UNIQLO band.  What a monopoly !
