UNIQLO: Affordable fashion for everyone

In 2012, a representative from a fashion company, UNIQLO, came to present in one of my classes. In the first few minutes he was there I thought this would be another store that students couldn't afford and another idea that involved exclusion. However, I quickly found out this company was much, much more.

Ever since I have practically stalked their website. I hope all of you will want to do the same!

UNIQLO is a fashion company that sells basic, on style pieces for the whole family at very affordable prices.
The 100 percent cashmere women's sweater below costs $49.90 at their regular price, almost half of what a cashmere sweater would normally cost. (This photo is from the website. Click to take a closer look at the sweater.)
  
They sell everything from ultra light down jackets and vests, also known as puffer jackets, to undergarments and belts.

The style for this company is classic. You will not find evidence of fast fashion here, they stick with slow fashion looks that can really last a lifetime. On the plus side of this, everyone can wear their stuff. According to the their story, "UNIQLO makes clothes that transcend all categories and social groups. Our clothes are made for all, going beyond age, gender, occupation, ethnicity, and all other ways that define people."

In their clothes, they advocate diversity and equality.

This company actually started in Japan. Since it's start though, the stores have grown international. Just in 2012, they opened stores in San Francisco and New Jersey, according to their news.
