Harajuku Lovers by Gwen Stefani introduces a shoe line inspired by the streets of Japan. Harajuku Lovers represents a place, a time, a feeling, a mixture of expressions that generate inspiration, stimulation, or just energetic fun. Harajuku Lovers focus specifically on the styles popular in the streets of Harajuku in Japan. The line is intended to be a high fashion women’s shoe collection that is attractive to Gwen’s fans and the general public. Gwen says that Harajuku Lovers is an extension of the music and a visual to the lyrics, as many products allude to verses and themes in her songs. Stefani’s original inspiration for her Harajuku Lovers line came from her very first trip to Tokyo in 1996, where she was amazed by the self-expression and individual style of Japanese youth.
