The store, which is expected to open next autumn, will be located on rue de Rivoli, one of the most dynamic streets in the French capital.

Occupying an area of 2,000sq m and spanning four storeys, the new Uniqlo store, which was previously occupied by Etam is part of an Art Deco style building that has been standing since 1930. Keeping a touch of the buildings heritage, the stores metal structures have been preserved and for an element of modernity, there will also be a screen wall, bundles of LED messages and a ‘mirror ceiling responding to stainless steel tiles which will welcome the visitor’.

The store will house the chain’s women’s, men’s and children’s collections, with the basics, casual styles and timeless pieces giving a wide variety of options to customers.

This will be the brand’s 8th Parisian store and its 23rd store in the French market.
