Good news guys! it's official now, GIORGIO ARMANI is coming back to our shore!!! :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:
Nggak sampai dari setahun dari penutupan butik sebelumnya di grand indonesia, GIORGIO ARMANI akan membuka kembali butiknya di Plaza Indonesia, Jakarta (lokasinya di sebelah Valentino, sebrang Jimmy Choo, dan hoardingnya pun kini sudah terpasang di plaza indonesia). Dan sepengetahuan saya kalau tidak salah, Giorgio Armani & Emporio Armani ini adalah satu paket, jadi retailer diharuskan membuka ke dua brand Armani ini (nggak bisa cuma membuka salah satunya saja, seperti waktu MAP dulu juga diharuskan membuka Giorgio Armani & Emporio Armani sekaligus). Kalau tebakan saya sih, retailer yang membawa Giorgio Armani ini adalah Trans Mahagaya, karena mereka yang sudah memegang lisensi AJ l ARMANI JEANS di Indonesia, dan pernah baca juga di Globe Asia, Chairul Tandjung melalui trans mahagaya telah memegang seluruh lisensi Armani di Indonesia. Jadi, menurut saya, tinggal menunggu giliran Emporio Armani yang akan membuka butik nya kembali di Jakarta! IMHO, Setelah Giorgio Armani buka di plaza indonesia, akan disusul oleh AJ l Armani Jeans dan Emporio Armani juga! Semoga Armani Collezioni akan buka juga! :banana::banana::banana:

Further Expansion of UNIQLO Intl

My name is Tadashi Yanai, and I am the president, chairman and CEO of FAST RETAILING CO., LTD.

First of all, I would like to give an overview of the year through August 2010. And then I would like to talk about the future direction of our company.

During the year to August 2010, FAST RETAILING achieved strong gains in sales and operating income. UNIQLO did extremely well with its 2009 fall/winter season lines. This success was due to a considerable increase in awareness of UNIQLO as a global brand, our HEATTECH line proving a big hit, and the success of our global flagship stores and large-format stores. In addition, the +J collection, launched in collaboration with fashion designer Ms. Jil Sander, was well received worldwide.

Looking next at UNIQLO branding: when we expand our business around the world, we are asked what kind of company we are.

I want to provide truly good clothing for all to wear, and offer new propositions that fulfill people’s everyday needs and even change lifestyles.

We will build and broadcast our brand through our worldwide operations and our global flagship stores.

Next, I would like to talk about our intention to further expand UNIQLO International.

In the year through August 2010, UNIQLO International saw net sales double and operating income quadruple, with Asia in particular generating large increases in sales and income.

Moving forward, we will be looking to become the dominant “number one” in Asia. Both the recent opening of our global flagship store in Shanghai, and the opening of our first store in Taiwan have proven more successful than any past store opening. I think that in ¥the Taiwan market, in the near future we will be able to achieve a store density level similar to what we have in Japan.

Our first store in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia has opened in November 2010.

After that, we will be looking to open stores in succession in other parts of Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines.

In the US and Europe, I want to open flagship stores and large-format stores in major cities. Next year, we will open a global flagship store on New York’s Fifth Avenue, and I will be looking to expand our store network in both New York and Paris to between 5 and 10 stores as soon as possible.

In addition, I want to open stores in other major American and European cities, particularly in Germany and Spain.

WOW!!!
semoga h&m ga hanya sekedar wacana dan planning tapi harus buka, sepertinya 2011 bakalan banyak surprise lagi nih dari brand-brand yang akan masuk.
letaknya giorgio armani di eks lv, yah biarpun lebih kecil tapi buat PI tambah keren aja.

Wow, can't believe Armanis are coming back to Indonesia. It's so soon, only several months after their closing. And also the planning of both Uniqlo and H&M ( to good to be true ). Btw, Giorgio Armani choose Plaza Indonesia over Grand Indonesia must become a real insult on Grand Indonesia. I, once, read on GI's facebook that GI is trying to get its lost tenants ( hope, GI can improve its performance in 2011 ).

H&M please proceed with the new thread as the thread already reached 1,000 posts :okay:

cheers
