Japan's Fast Retailing, the owner of global clothing chain Uniqlo, said on Thursday it would open its first discount brand GU store in the United States this autumn.

The store will open in the SoHo neighborhood of New York City in what will be the brand's debut outside of the Asian market, Fast Retailing said in a statement.

The company has opened about 450 GU outlets since 2006, mostly in Japan. Fast Retailing is planning an aggressive growth strategy across North America, a market that has become increasingly important as sales in China suffer from ongoing COVID-19 lockdowns.

Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour on Thursday told employees that she will be seeking a new head of editorial content at American Vogue as she steps down from that position.

Wintour will remain in her roles as Vogue's global editorial director and chief content officer at Condé Nast, the publisher of titles including The New Yorker, Vanity Fair and GQ.

She has been the editor of Vogue US since 1988 and is regarded as one of the most powerful people in the fashion world. Wintour has raised over $300 million for the US Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute.

In January, former President Joe Biden awarded Wintour the Presidential Medal of Freedom, considered the highest US civilian honor.
