The owner of Uniqlo had made it his mission to knock Zara off the top

Uniqlo will have to open a lot more stores though, they are very stingy at the moment. They have, what? 2-3 stores in the US? Good luck with that.

I believe H and M was the same. They had few stores but started expanding at a fast pace. I think it was about 7 years ago when they opened one in Pasadena and had folks lined up mad long to get in.Uniqlo will have to open a lot more stores though, they are very stingy at the moment.

The interesting factor is that I think all of these firms are still privately held. Could be wrong on that though.

2-3 just I'm NYC, and they have 3 outside of NYC but still in the NY/NJ area which is still not enough stores to compete with H&M.

Did the one in SF open already?
Unoqlo is one of those brands that has a huge following and could really benefit from opening more stores. Hell people were paying for proxy to get Uniqlo stuff before there was an online store. Only reason I havent really purchased anything from Uniqlo is because I want to try them on first and am too lazy to make returns.

I see what you mean and personally I don't think that someone with a good sense of style would wear the fits straight from the runway. However I do love the amount of creativity that is portrayed at these shows, to see what fashion design genius' have come up with....this may be a reason I like to look at haute couture or avant garde pieces more than ready-to-wear. Great source of inspiration and it's visible what trends will trickle down to the average consumer in a year or so.
That doesn't even make sense. You wear what you like while Zaras business plan is to steal from designers collection and have it out before those designers have theirs in stores because their turn around time is much faster. They do not do fashion shows because they do not have an original idea/design.
Your style and Zara are nothing alike.
I agree on this. In addition, I've found Zara to seem really cheap, the use of materials, the manufacturing are terrible in my opinion.

It's interesting how they're focusing mostly on Asia.

What is so interesting about it? They are a Japanese company and Asia is the largest market in the world.

I love me some Uniqlo. But like RFX stated, none here in LA so I can't even try on their stuff

Fashion shows is usually a way to show off the designers vision. Some runway pieces aren't even wearable in real life, plenty doesn't make it to the stores.
But some of those looks can be replicated easily too. It ian't always "too out there" or ridiculous. Balenciaga for example has some good looks that you can pull of on a daily basis this season.
It also really depends on your style. Like Alexander Wang, it is more sporty and to other they may look at you and scoff but if it is your style, then it is your style and you'd wear it. Same can be said with Rick Owens.

Berlutti seems to be the one show that most will like in here: http://nowfashion.com/28-06-2013-berluti-menswear-spring-summer-2014-paris-show-3891.html
The more traditional look but slim, no break on the pants and adding colors here and there.

here in sg , both h&m and uniqlo are well represented,there are alot more uniqlos, but h&m opened 3 new stores this mnth. in terms of quailty theyre about the same. uniqlos shirts fit better for asian body types, their oxfords and other button downs have higher arm holes and have shorter sleeves.
the best thing bout them though is everyweek theyll have this product that they put on sale. shirts that are sgd45 will become sgd35 or 30. it changes everyweek.

that's how my kid will dressed like. Some of the stuff RFX posted is real nice but man the black and white thing only works well with a few colors. White and beige come to mind. But aside than that...

This.
Moms said runway fashion is like prototyped cars more, they never make it to production but some aspects will.
