Habitat. UNIQLO SoHo
Habitat. UNIQLO SoHo: Japan's most popular apparel retailer, UNIQLO, recently opened it's flagship store in SoHo. We got a look at the fall/winter catalog and we were really impressed. UNIQLO offers stylish, high-quality, affordable clothing and accessories and a modern shopping experience.
Here's some more information on the store: "The look and feel of the UNIQLO SoHo NY global flagship can best be described as functional beauty, featuring meticulous organization and streamlined design embodied in the iconic store architecture and fixtures. Designed by the renowned architect Masamichi Katayama, the global flagship authentically recreates the unique and pleasant experience of modern Japanese retail culture, offering an environment that is beautiful, clean, well-lit and organized and in which every customer is greeted with true Japanese hospitality. The look is simple, allowing the products to speak for themselves. However, in keeping with UNIQLO’s appreciation of heritage, this sense of modern simplicity is juxtaposed by the presence of key architectural elements of the original space, such as exposed brick walls and large white columns."
