Hello Goodbye Gap Harajuku
Tokyo’s Harajuku district is where to find Japan’s fashion-forward youth, however, the once superstylish district is rapidly transforming into an outdoor mall of the titans of casual clothing — Gap, Zara, Uniqlo, H&M, Topshop and Forever 21 — all competing for wardrobe space within a few hundred meters of one another.
A month after opening their new flagship store directly opposite the Omotesando exit of Harajuku Station, Gap is closing their existing Meiji Dori flagship – a store that has been a Harajuku landmark since opening 10 years ago.
Gap, an American clothing retailer based in San Francisco, remains the largest specialty apparel retailer in the U.S., though it has recently been surpassed by the Spanish-based Zara as the world’s largest apparel retailer.
To celebrate the move, Gap shoppers are enjoying up to 50% off during the store’s “Final Sale”. The sale ends on January 3, 2010.
