Clothes for Smiles

Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic, left, who is ranked No. 2 in the world, shakes hands with Tadashi Yanai, CEO of leading global Japanese retailer Fast Retailing, at Tokyo Midtown on Tuesday. Djokovic, who is the global brand ambassador for Fast Retailing's UNIQLO line, was in Tokyo to launch the Clothes for Smiles initiative. The Clothes for Smiles project developed by UNIQLO and Djokovic is based on a fund of 1 billion yen raised from the sale of HEATTECH and Ultra-Light Down products, with the aim of bringing hopes and dreams to children's futures all over the world. Half of the fund will be given to support UNICEF, and UNIQLO is asking for suggestions from the public on how best to invest the remaining half. For further information, visit www.uniqlo.com/smiles
