And so the long awaited second UNIQLO store has arrived. Leaving panting fashionistas barely time to recover from its first store at Tampines 1, UNIQLO opens its doors tomorrow at 10:00h, at the heart of Singapore’s shopping district at ION Orchard. With approximately 10,000 square feet of floor space stocked with the latest UNIQLO fashions, UNIQLO looks set to satisfy any fabric junkie.

Mr Satoshi Onoguchi, Managing Director of UNIQLO Singapore, shares:

As a global brand providing the best quality basics with unique value and innovations at affordable price, the opening of our 2nd store in the heart of Singapore will enhance our brand presence and accelerate our growth in Singapore.

To celebrate the new store, customers who make purchases of $100 or more, on a single receipt, will receive a collectible UNIQLO original Tote Bag. The stylish shopping bags are offered as an opening special for a limited time only and while stocks last.

While the new UNIQLO store will still offer wide product variety, and quality at an affordable price point, the store design will be distinctively different from the first store. The new store is a duplex stocked with a wide range of UNIQLO products catering to all ages – Men, Women and Children. Its interior takes on a
more edgy and cosmopolitan feel. One of the unique features of this store is the designated UT corner that will display UNIQLO’s latest signature T-Shirt designs from floor to ceiling.

Fall/Winter 2009
UNIQLO will also be marking the change of season in conjunction with their new store opening. Notably, Singapore will be launching selected Fall/Winter 2009 items 2 weeks ahead of Japan. UNIQLO’s Fall/Winter 2009 collection will feature the much anticipated Merino Wool collection using the finest Merino wool, Neo Leather, a collection of luxury synthetic leather jackets, 3D-Denim and Flannel range of clothing.

Another new and exciting design innovation to hit Singapore includes the popular HeatTech range which has sold 28 million units in Japan alone last year. HeatTech is woven out of a specially designed hollow fibre thread that captures little pillows of toasty warm air, insulating your body in the same way heavier
wool would. This will keep you warm and snug without adding on that bulk and weight that is not figureflattering. With these new product ranges out in stores soon, customers can look forward to quality, luxury at an affordable price at UNIQLO.

More details on its Fall/Winter 2009 collection will be revealed soon. [UPDATE: 12 August 2009] Fall/Winter 2009 images up!

I fell in love with the store from my first step in. The store is the mecca of affordable, stylish, minimalistic threads. Not visiting the store in Singapore is like giving Colette a miss in Paris. Special thanks to UNIQLO and their team for the invitation. Check out our preview event photos below.

UNIQLO at ION Orchard is located at B2-38 & B3-51.
