Theyworkwith over 100 factories to dispatch theircasual mix-and-match garments to their stores worldwide.The strength ofthe UNIQLO brand lies in its particular quality assurance system.

The Takumi team is both modern andtraditional, reflecting the import Japanese custom ofhonoring tradition. Profiles ofthe Takumimasters feature in editions ofthe UNIQLO magazine, also known as UNIQLO Paper, distributed tocustomers in the stores. In this way, the company gets the message outto its customers about the highquality work that goes into the garments, and customers can see who is behind the scenes.
    Educating new staff
    The Takumi are responsible for passing on their knowledge to UNIQLO's production facilities inChina.

For example, when design details prove unexpectedly challenging, theTakumi team will identify the problem and work with factories to identify strategies to overcome it.

Question 35: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or Don your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35-42

    The way society expects women and men to behave has beenreflected throughout history in the style of dress. The late 1800sare commonly referred to as the Victorian age, after Queen Victoria of England. During this period there were many restrictions onwomen's behavior and consequently on the clothes they wore.Socializing mostly took place at teatime in private homes, or outsideat tea houses. At these events women often socialized only with otherwomen. They wore long tea gowns which were specifically designedto 'protect women's modesty'.
    However, at the same time women's rights movements were startingup all over the world, demanding more rights, such as the right tovote, own land, or earn the same pay as men. As a result ofone ofthese campaigns, women in the United States won the right to votein political elections in 1920, and British women in 1928.Thisnew-found political freedom was reflected in fashion, most notablyin the invention ofthe cocktail dress. It was designed to be worn at 'cocktail hour' (in the early evening between 6.00 and 8.00 p.m.) and the dress was fashioned to be a stylish garment with a look halfway between daytime and evening.
    Without doubt the most successful of all cocktail dresses was the 'little black dress' (or LBD),which Chanel and Patou are credited with designing in 1926. Two ofits most distinctive featureswere its shorter hemline and black colour. The original design also included a matching hat,shoes and short gloves.
    One group of women in the 1920s expressed their new political rights through fashion: the Flappers. Always ready to break society's rules, Flappers went to cocktail parties, movedenergetically to dances such as the Charleston, drank alcohol, cut their hair short and had jobs.As the years went by, new, more liberated styles emerged on the cocktail party scene: Dior'sshorter dresses ofthe 1950s, or Galitzine's palazzo pyjama trousers, and Pucci's one piece suitsin the 1960s.Fashion was ready to celebrate women's rights with style and to go with women into a new,liberated era.
