GU: the Best Japanese Fast Fashion Clothing Brand!

5 Must-Buy Items at GU Japan! Shop trendy looks with affordable price!

Do you know GU?? GU is a Japanese fast fashion retailer, which has over 400 stores across the country. The brand is owned by the company “Fast Retailing” which also owns the famous clothing brand UNIQLO.

While UNIQLO targets men and women of all ages with its simple and quality clothes, GU’s main target is young women in their teen to early 30s. Rather than providing best quality clothes, GU product range is more focused on “trendy” and “affordable”, which perfectly suite for needs of young girls’ fast moving fashion and trend every season.

I have recently been to one of GU stores and picked 5 most useful and fashionable products from their Autumn/Winter collection, and today I’d like to share them with you guys! Please check out my 5 picks of must-buy items at GU this season 🙂
