HARAJUKU
FOR THE HOLIDAYS
by Carla Bourada
Edgy, super-glam, effortlessly
chic – these words describe
multi-platinum recording artist
and fashion icon, Gwen Stefani,
in a nutshell. Her music and style
has made an impact on people
worldwide, making everyone
want more Gwen, more of her
music and especially… more
Harajuku Lovers!
Inspired by her lifelong love of
Pop Art and Japanese street
style, Gwen Stefani launched
the Harajuku Lovers label in
2005 and it quickly evolved into
a much-loved line of apparel,
accessories and fragrances. The
line was trendy, fashion-forward
and unique – but more importantly
it embraced self-expression
and individualism, qualities
parents appreciate and children
personify.
This year Gwen has teamed up
with Chasing Fireflies – a leading
children’s retailer – to create
Harajuku Lover’s for girls! Made
especially for girls with a sense
of self and style, the collection
stays true to the original Harajuku
Lovers aesthetic and offers
up playful, vibrant fashions with
pop-art appeal and rock ‘n’ roll
quality.
Incorporating this collection into
your child’s wardrobe this holiday
season will definitely up the
glam factor! Available for little
ladies size 2T - 13, this line blows
us away with its great quality,
uniqueness, and seriously fun
pieces. The sweet dresses and
jackets with peeks of tulle are
fun and flirty yet edgy, perfect
for any holiday party. Tiaras, hair
clips and jewelry are designed to
complete any look.
Harajuku’s dreamy, beautifully
detailed dresses would be perfect
for any time of year but with
hints of sparkles, softly tired tulle,
bow accents and lots of twirl appeal
they are ideal holiday-wear.
Dressed up with bows (even in
back), lined in soft fleece with
detachable hood with fun little
ears and tulle accents, the Pretty
Girl Coat is another holiday favourite!
The Harajuku Lover’s collection
is available for purchase through
the Chasing Fireflies website
and also through their brand
catalogue.
