The hyped fashion brand "Uniqlo" from Japan opens its first store in Frankfurt - complete with Japanese drum art. Customers are queuing up.

Over the past few decades, Tadashi Yanai has managed to turn his holding company Fast Retailing, which he still runs, into the third-largest fashion manufacturer in the world. In the 2024/25 financial year, turnover rose by 9.6% year-on-year to the equivalent of 19.2 billion euros, with his fashion brand being the growth driver. Uniqlo's international segment alone contributed the equivalent of 10.8 billion euros.

Uniqlo stores from New York to Frankfurt

Uniqlo now operates more than 2,500 stores worldwide: the brand's red logo is not only popular in Asia, but also in North America. In New York, it has a two-storey flagship store on the famous Fifth Avenue shopping street. Expansion is also underway in Europe, home to competitors such as Zara parent company Inditex and H&M; there are already 86 stores: six in Berlin alone. Frankfurt will have its first store in a prime city center location in Biebergasse on Thursday (October 16). Munich follows

There are many reasons for the success: the prominent panel in New York will be hosted by renowned fashion designer Clare Waight Keller, who was hired as Uniqlo's creative director last year. The British designer was previously at home in the world of haute couture and shaped the style of brands such as Chloé and Givenchy. The fashion designer also designed the royal wedding dress for Meghan Markle. Sitting next to Keller are Hollywood star Cate Blanchett and tennis great Roger Federer. They chat about why they love the fashion brand and its values so much: The words come up again and again: a better world, sustainability, functional, comfortable basic clothing that, unlike its competitors, doesn't focus on trends but on timeless designs, and should last a long time ("lifewear").

There's been one here in Düsseldorf for a long time. I love Uniqlo. I just bought new jeans again and they shorten them for free. Unique service, especially with the prices. The quality is great too.

Oh, thank you. I'll have a look at a store in the next few days.
Would you invest?

Have a good look around, you'll become a customer afterwards too. I just saw that you wrote about JW Anderson, I bought exactly those pants 😂😂 I still wouldn't invest in any case. Textiles is not my sector at all. If the P/E ratio were 12 instead of 36, you could perhaps still say you're a bargain hunter. But not like this.

@PikaPika0105
Sounds logical. I'd like to take a look at your portfolio these days.
To see how investments are made in the forbidden city. 🙈😂

@Tenbagger2024 Better, of course 😂

Thank you my dear

Had read that there was a move in Düsseldorf and that they are now selling on 2 floors. I've never seen the brand before. Investing in fashion has never occurred to me before. Brands have often been hyped and if too many people wore them, something else would have to come along. So I only see it as a short-term investment, if at all, and will keep an eye on it.

@TradingHase
$LULU was also once very hyped. Now they have problems

@Tenbagger2024 It doesn't have to be the rule, but there is always a risk.
