Harajuku Girls

Harajuku girls

I'm looking at you girls

You're so original girls

You got the look that makes you stand out

Harajuku Girls,

I'm looking at you girls

You mix and match it girls

You dress so fly and just parade around (arigato)- Gwen Stefani

I believe Harajuku is a station or a district in Japan. Harajuku girls refers to girls who dresses distinctively, styles being Gothic Lolita, mix-match stuff, painted face and coloured hair. It was a borrowed culture from the David-Bowie punk rock era. Truly unique and stylish at the same time. The term was popularized by Gwen Stefani's song Harajuku girls and her entourage of 4 Japanese girls. Ahhh..that explains a lot. I was wondering who those 4 girls were in her concert tours. Among all the Asian countries, perhaps only Japan's fashion is the most hyped about. It's also the most original. Wonder when it's gonna invade Malaysian fashion...
