    At first I wondered why people would lineup in front of those shops. I still don't have a clue why... but I know I would not!

    Bit of a ropey bunch, aren't they? Still,if they help shift product then I guess good luck to them. Uniqlo make nice leggings.

    The brand is a bit new to be changing the logo so soon, and it doesn't look like an improvement. It looks to generic.

    GU stands for jiyu, freedom, maybe it has other meanings you know how they are with these things, it's a sister brand of uniqlo and at least for me searching for the two words gave me its site as the first result.
