Yagi's various brands set to go global

"The goal was to differentiate ourselves from other companies, so by creating all these brands we can play on our strengths and stand out from the crowd."

Takao Yagi, CEO, Yagi & Co., Ltd.

Boasting nearly 130 years of experience, the Japanese company Yagi & Co. is a fiber trader and manufacturer that caters to clients in both the domestic and international markets, with a network of branches and subsidiaries spanning several countries.

Following its founding principle 'dependability first', Yagi supplies high-quality raw materials to textiles producers, as well as providing expertly-made textiles and apparel to clothing makers and retailers. A company with a growing portfolio of original brands, Yagi also has a lifestyle section that creates items such as curtains, rugs and sheets, under the slogan 'making life more comfortable'. What's more, the firm is always on the lookout for new directions in which to take its wide range of products: Yagi has a dedicated department that focuses on seeking out opportunities in fresh business areas.

To that end, customers can use Yagi's e-commerce platform, Fably, to order standard and bespoke products created both by the company and a host of other suppliers.

By placing their trust in Japanese manufacturing, says Yagi CEO Takao Yagi, clients are rewarded with top-quality, innovative products. "When compared

KENYA BARRIS, THE EMMY-NOMINATED CRE-ator of Black-ish, knows that him teaming up with Malcolm Gladwell for the new Audible series The Unusual Suspects is a bit of an odd pairing. “We’re actually not as odd, but it’s an interesting combination.” And their guest list is just as diverse, from entertainment figures like Jimmy Kimmel and Ava DuVernay to renowned chef David Chang.

PARTING SHOT: Alan Cumming

AFTER THE MASSIVE SUCCESS OF THE TRAITORS LAST YEAR (STREAMING now on Peacock), host Alan Cumming knew this third season had to be bigger. “There was a pressure to not just repeat ourselves, it actually upped the ante.” And they did just that, with a more explosive cast and even wilder twists. “It is bigger. I’m sort of a cult leader. I’ve gone from just a dandy lord of the manor in his castle to official cult leader. I’m fine with it.” Cumming hosts a castle full of reality TV stars who all play a game of murder in the hope of winning upward of $250,000. But Cumming says their TV background has little to do with their success on The Traitors. “Everybody has this sort of myth that you have to be in one of those gamer shows to do well at this game, and it’s not true. Sometimes it’s actually good to have better social skills.” Last year, Cumming’s Emmy win ended RuPaul’s historic 8-year winning streak for RuPaul’s Drag Race. “I saw Ru and I went up to him and I just went, ‘I am so sorry.’ And he just went, ‘Con-drag-ulations.’ And I was like, ‘He said it!’” [laughs]
