Uniqlo names Cate Blanchett as global brand ambassador

Actress Cate Blanchett is joining tennis star Roger Federer as a global brand ambassador for Japanese apparel retailer Uniqlo, part of the Fast Retailing group. In a statement, Uniqlo said it will be working with the Oscar, BAFTA, and Golden Globe-winning actress to promote the humanitarian and environmental efforts of the company to 'advance the brand's LifeWear philosophy' to promote positive change. Tadashi Yanai, founder and chairman of Uniqlo, and president and chief executive of Fast Retailing, said: 'Ms. Blanchett is among the greatest actors of her generation - on stage and on screen. But our admiration goes beyond entertainment. Her passion and engagement is evident in her contributions as a role model for women and her mentorship of emerging film and theatre artists, as well as her long-standing commitment to humanitarian and environmental causes. 'Through our partnership, we will work together to make positive changes in the world around us.' Uniqlo didn't confirm what activities Blanchett will perform as a global brand ambassador, but it is expected that the actress, who is often on best dressed lists, will feature in the retailer's brand campaigns. However, previous ambassadors, including Federer, have worked with the retailer on their own collections. Commenting on her appointment, Blanchett added: 'I value the ambition of Uniqlo to make life better through its LifeWear apparel: timeless design, perfected simplicity, affordable, accessible, quality clothing that lasts. I am energised by the opportunity to help Uniqlo advance important aspects of its LifeWear philosophy, supporting the next generation, playing a part in highlighting and combating the ongoing global displacement crisis, giving back to communities, and finding meaningful ways to contribute to a more equitable world. 'On top of that, to creatively reconnect with Clare Waight Keller and to be in dialogue with Uniqlo global brand ambassador, Roger Federer, is a privilege indeed.'

Now, according to Daily Mail, Channel 4 has opted not to bring the show back for a second season. 'Around The World in 80 Weighs caused a stir with critics and its audience, but while Channel 4 had originally commissioned it for one series, there was scope for it to be brought back with a new batch of participants after they established the show's format,' they said. 'The series being parked is reflective of changing audience habits where programmes remotely reminiscent of noughties hits that created a shame culture on other people's lives and their struggles for entertainment purposes is widely shunned.' Across the five episode series, the participants travelled across Japan, Texas, Tonga and India to try weight loss treatments. This also included discovering diet secrets, and experiencing the different cultural relationships to food in both positive and negative ways. In one uncomfortable scene, the group are seen being laughed at on the streets of Tokyo by onlookers. The group visit the Japanese city after it's revealed the country only has a 4% obesity rate, compared to the UK's 25%. Participant Marisa is seen telling cameras: "It just blows my mind that you're not allowed to be who you are and you just have to fit it. "I don't feel like I should be here. In this country I don't feel comfortable, and for me personally, it isn't somewhere I would come back." 'I don't want to die young!' sobs Around The World In 80 Weighs star as she breaks down after heart-wrenching warning After that, the group moved on to Tonga, which has one of the highest obesity rates in the world. After meeting a woman who at 28 weighs 47 stone, and another who had lost both her legs, members of the group were reduced to tears as they feared they would die.
