Global Brand <strong>Operations</strong> LINK THEORY HOLDINGS CO.,LTD. http://www.link-theory.com/ Born in New York and adorning the life scenes of today’s women Theory is a brand that began life in New York and offers a style springing from the concept of “new basic,” which features second-to-none comfort and a sophisticated look, with a touch of the trendy. History The Theory brand moved into the ranks of global brands almost immediately after its inception in New York in 1997. Theory became widely known in Japan in 1999 when Andrew Rosen, Theory’s founder, and his longtime friend Ricky C. Sasaki, now the CEO of LINK THEORY HOLDINGS CO.,LTD. (LTH), introduced the brand to the domestic market through Link International Co., Ltd., which is now LTH. In 2003, LTH acquired the U.S.-based Theory LLC., which held the brand’s licenses. This acquisition opened the way for LTH to establish a global business franchise for the Theory brand. FAST RETAILING took its equity stake in January 2004, and LTH subsequently listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s Mothers market in June 2005. 34 Theory Paris store FAST RETAILING ANNUAL REPORT 2007 Products The Theory brand, conceived in response to the needs of contemporary women, embodies a modern sensibility without sacrificing comfort. Theory’s easy-to-wear pieces use highquality stretch fabrics to create a flattering fit and a beautiful silhouette. Offering utility that suits women living in today’s world, the Theory brand is widely acclaimed for collections that are attuned to the diverse lifestyles of contemporary women. The theme of Theory’s collections for 2007 was “THEORY 10: BACK TO THE ROOTS.” Featured items that go back to Theory’s roots were basics whose essence has not changed since its birth a decade ago; Theory’s collections continue to appeal to many women that love fashion. Growth Strategy Already a leading brand in the contemporary market in Japan and the United States, Theory is working to strengthen its foundation in Europe. LTH set up a Theory marketing office in London in 2007 and opened a directly-managed store in Paris. The aim is to attain sustainable growth by improving efficiency in the U.S. and Japanese markets and accelerating the growth of LTH’s European operations. LTH is developing brands such as Helmut Lang and Premise as follow-ups to Theory to become a global enterprise and a leader in the contemporary market.
