Forget swiping your credit card at the checkout on your next shopping spree – the latest fashion retail trend is an altogether quirkier purchasing experience.
This week, Japanese retailer Uniqlo unveiled its 'Uniqlo to Go' vending machines, which, as WWD reports, will appear in US airports over August. Shoppers can purchase items from the brand's 'Lifewear' line via a fluid interface, with the clothes then delivered by a robotic arm. Uniqlo indicated that the machines may also be rolled out in other locations from shopping malls to movie theatres.
