TOKYO - In conjunction with our Spring 2009 Parka Campaign, UNIQLO is offering an
amazing 1000 styles of colorful parkas for customers to choose from. The new
campaign called “TOKYO FASHION MAP” features 1000 styles of real Tokyo
fashion wearing our parkas.

It is now shown on a special website and in a magazine which is available
at UNIQLO’s international stores.

We will introduce the ample fresh appeal of the UNIQLO parka in all sorts
of ways to help customers find the style to best suit them. 1000 men and
women of all ages resident in the fashion city of Tokyo sport parkas in their
own individual ways. We also take up typical Tokyo streets in 15 different
areas including Harajuku, Akihabara, Ginza and Tsukiji. UNIQLO parka jackets
are well known for their wide range of colors, materials, and basic, classic
designs.

This 1000 parka styling has been made possible by collaboration with
Graffiti Magazine’s “Tokyo Graffiti” publication, famous for its excellent
street snaps.

The concept for the campaign is to show real fashion in typical Tokyo
streets and to tell how the parka can accommodate any style. The UNIQLO
parkas are used to express real fashion in Tokyo, a concept that is capturing
global attention this time. 1000 men and women of all ages resident in Tokyo
sport parkas in their own individual ways. We also take up typical Tokyo
streets in 15 different areas including the young, trendy Harajuku area, the
Ginza shopping and entertainment district, Akihabara, famous for its
electronics gadgets, and Tsukiji, one of the largest wholesale fish markets
in the world. The actual pictures were taken by talking to 1000 people who we
met in the street and asking them to wear a UNIQLO parka for the project.
