A fatal attraction to cuteness

Pleased not to be treated as "a celebrity wannabe fashion designer," Gwen Stefani was a style icon of 2005. Now "Gwen's big fantasy" continues with Harajuku Lovers, a fashion line inspired by her solo album. Let the cuteness begin!

Harajuku Lovers: A Fatal Attraction to Cuteness is based on graphics and allover prints of the two first groups draw directly from this year's hit songs and videos from Stefani's platinum-selling solo effort "Love. Angel. Music. Baby."

"This is part of Gwen's big fantasy," Sara Scargall, design director at Jerry Leigh, who is collaborating on the line with the pop superstar, told WWD. "Gwen wants to give back to her fans. She wants everybody in the family to access this in terms of price points, silhouettes and categories."

Kawaii Update: The Village Voice finds a logic uniting Memoirs of a Geisha and Stefani's Harajuku Girls, "(at least one of whom is from California)". Any non-Germans seen having fun at Oktoberfest will be spanked! Green beer for Irish only! Everyone back in your box!

Super-kawaii Update Japanese Alice cosplay is theft! Lewis Carroll did not write in Engrish!
