Who better than a time traveling robotic cat to project itself into the future of a more sustainable fashion? On Monday, in Tokyo, the Japanese group Fast Retailing, owner, among other brands, of Uniqlo, announced that it had appointed Doraemon, the Japanese manga character, as "Global Sustainability Ambassador" (images below : © Uniqlo).

The Uniqlo ambassador will be tasked with showcasing, in an educational and fun way, the sustainable activities of the Japanese brand, both in its stores and on the internet.
