UNIQLO Williamsburg

UNIQLO Williamsburg is a clothing retailer on Kent Avenue in Williamsburg. The store collaborates with local artists including KAWS and hosts a sustainability program called RE.UNIQLO focused on textile recycling and community engagement.

UNIQLO Williamsburg opened on Kent Avenue with a mission rooted in the neighborhood's artistic spirit, celebrating community and everyday expression. The store isn't a straightforward retail box: it hosts collaborations with artists like KAWS, a Brooklyn contemporary artist and UNIQLO's first Artist in Residence, and Hiroshi Masuda, a New York-based Japanese artist who explores what it means to be human. The space carries UT graphic styles, denim, and LifeWear designed for comfort and individuality. Beyond product, UNIQLO engages communities through RE.UNIQLO, a sustainability program with donation bins where customers drop off gently-used clothing for local nonprofits including the Department of Homeless Services and Covenant House. The broader brand has spent over a decade increasing public access to major art institutions through free programs like MoMA's UNIQLO ArtSpeaks and Tate Play, offering people of all ages ways to discover and engage with art.
