If your daughter is a big fan of female solo act Gwen Stefani, then the chances are she has spoke of Harajuku Lovers, the brands of differing merchandise. The brand was launched in 2005 after a joint project between the singer and four Japanese back up dancers, named Love, Angel, Music and Baby. The group was originally hired in 2004, however, the group and Gwen began to collaborate more frequently in different projects belonging to Gwen. Since then, the girls themselves have enjoyed as much popularity and success as Gwen. The brand is somewhat related to a type of fashion that has developed in Tokyo’s culture. The culture relates to a specific area and set of customs. The extrovert design inspired Gwen to make her own statement on the fashion, after the successful launch of her initial range, L.A.M.B. Although the L.A.M.B range, created in 2004 is designed more to the mainstream, the Harajuku Lovers range is an extension of the original range. The Harajuku Lovers range consists of clothing, a stationary range, and a set of five fragrances. The fragrances are named after the group members, as well as a favoured name of Stefani’s. Both ranges are very independent of Stefani’s musical endeavours, and both ranges draw in dedicated consumers, some who have never purchased a song of Gwen’s. The range is themed entirely on the Japanese look, theme and culture, but marketed more towards the western market Gwen works hard at establishing the individual identity her new range offers. Although the ranges are incredibly independent and successful outside of her music, both are also based around her famous tracks, such as ‘Hollaback Girl’. The girls also have a song named after them on one of Gwen’s albums. Gwen has the unique ability to produce merchandise that is so successful in its own right, and tied tightly to her musical work. Very few musicians can claim such success, after artists like Britney Spears, J- Lo and Christina Aguilera all engaging in similar merchandise tactics, and not proving anywhere near as successful. Stefani is renowned for being a unique artist and trendsetter, through the nineties and the early 21st century. It is likely that her success will continue for a long time, in both her musical and merchandise endeavours. Many teenage girls appreciate her musical sound and her style. A great gift for your teenage girl will be any one of Gwen’s products. There is a dedicated store for the Harajuku Lovers range. The site concentrates mainly on the promotion of the fragrances, so this is a great place to start if you had one of the perfumes in mind as a gift. The site includes background information and games for your daughter. Although the site is great for background information, be sure to shop around online for the perfumes to get a great deal this Christmas. If you shop online, make sure you order before the Christmas deadline, to avoid any disappointment and Gwen style tantrums come Christmas Day.
