Terry Richardson for UNIQLO

This is part 5 in a mini blog series: Smaller Versions Of What I Had Planned. I can't let all of the "to blog" ideas that I had floating around in my head disappear, even if they may be irrelevant by now. Here's a brief rundown of stuff I saw & went to that I had to go back six pages in my Flickr stream to reference.

This might be the last in the series. There are other things on my "to blog" list, but they are not time sensitive (not for another several months, at least). I will probably write some entry skeletons on my slightly-longer-than-usual flight this afternoon.

A couple of months ago, I pulled a Johanna and made a friend via the Internet. Well, a few days after this happened, Joseph showed up at Naked with a present! It's a book full of Terry Richardson photographs that UNIQLO had quite a while ago... I think almost a year ago? (do they still, Joseph?)


It came in a plastic staple-top bag with a tag - cool packaging.

A t-shirt is more than just a t-shirt. It's an expression of who you are. Where you've been. What you love. And with hundreds of limited edition t-shirts to choose from each year, you'll always find one that says exactly how you feel. That's the UT philosophy.

Nice, eh?

I forgot who mentioned this, but someone told me that he just walked around NY finding people for this book. I recognized three or four from parties and my neighborhood, so that sounds right to me!



Thanks again, Joseph :)

Internet = ♥

I just received an e-mail from Joseph (Operations/IT) at UNIQLO USA. He commented on my January column with:

When we first opened the flagship store in NYC, it did have a lot of the said canister packaged UT t-shirts, but that was not what we carried exclusively. We also had, as we do now, a large selection of fashion wear, cashmere, denim, and outerwear.

Just to avoid any confusion, the UT "canister shirts only" store I mentioned was initially in Japan.


I have no idea why I didn't specify this in my article, as I visit UNIQLO SoHo quite frequently. Apologies for the error, and thanks for getting in touch, Joseph!
