Shoppers walk past a branch of Japanese clothes retailer Uniqlo in Tokyo on October 8, 2010. The operator of Japan’s cheap-chic clothing chain Uniqlo said it booked a higher annual net profit in the year to August but forecast it to slide 17 percent next year as competition stiffens

Uniqlo will bring its baby and kids’ collections — including mini synthetic down jackets for $29.90 — Stateside this fall to the chain’s 34th Street and Fifth Avenue flagships in New York City (sorry, Soho shoppers!) and to the Westfield Garden State Plaza location in Paramus, New Jersey. The retailer already stocks the pint-size styles in Japan and other countries.
