Fast Retailing just bought an 80% stake in J Brand, and our sister site is all over the implications: "Fast Retailing has been known to cross-pollinate designs among its brands, per the sleek, affordable T Down collaboration between Theory and Uniqlo that launched earlier this month. If the buy-out means J Brand-designed jeans are going to be available at Uniqlo prices, that's a future we definitely want to be a part of." Yes please! [Racked National]
