"We are not the new Gap... We are not style-driven," a brand rep told the Wall Street Journal last April. "Our competitor is Apple. We don't see ourselves as having competitors in the fashion-retailing space."

I think what Uniqlo meant by that Apple quote is brand recognition, they pretty much want to dominate the clothing market, like how the early Iphone dominated cellphone market

"We are not a fashion company," Yanai likes to say. "We are a technology company." He is so fond of this line, he repeats it during each of my three meetings with him. Finally, I ask him what kind of technology he'd like to see on Uniqlo's shelves. He goes wide-eyed and blue-sky on me. "One-size-fits-all clothing," he suggests, thinking of fabric that automatically adapts to the wearer's contours. "Clothes that do not require any laundry. Just rinse it in water, shake it off, and all the dirt is gone." He thinks a moment longer. "Or depending on your mood for the day, maybe fabric where the color may change."
