Magazine B is an ad-less monthly publication that introduces one well-balanced brand per issue, unearthed from around the globe. not only shares untold stories behind the brand, but also its sentiment and culture that any readers interested in brand marketing and management can leaf through with ease.

This issue features UNIQLO: Uniqlo started off in 1984 as an apparel store in Hiroshima, Japan, by Tadashi Yanai, who learned the ins and outs of the trade through his father’s menswear shop. At a time when casual clothing was associated with young people in the early 1990s, Uniqlo introduced its specialty store retailer of private label apparel, or SPA, system. The philosophy behind the move—that everyone should be able to easily purchase clothing—rounded out the brand’s concept of maintaining a reasonable price structure, simple logo-free designs, and practical garments made of high-quality materials. Now thought of as “LifeWear,” Uniqlo’s products are essentials sold in more than 2,500 stores worldwide, including the company’s home base city Tokyo.
