Gwen Stefani designs Harajuku kids’ clothes for Target

Image
Street fashion in Japan has influenced Gwen Stefani’s music, dance, and her fashion lines L.A.M.B and Harajuku Lovers — so it was only a matter of time before the mom of two brought her style to a children’s fashion line. Harajuku Mini, Stefani’s collection of Japanese and rock ’n’ roll-inspired children’s clothes, will be on sale in Target stores Sunday. (via Target.com) The collection for kids age 6 months to 13 years old is a mix of anime-creature cuteness and punk rock. For girls, there are polka-dot dresses and frilly tutus, topped with a black motorcycle jacket. Boys’ offerings are similar to how Stefani dresses her own sons, Kingston and Zuma — in graphic tees and graffiti-inspired hoodies. A unisex hoodie for toddlers has bear ears atop the hood. Harajuku Mini’s look is only loosely inspired by actual Harajuku fashion, named after the area near the Harajuku train station in Tokyo where fashionable young people parade around in highly unique outfits.

Gwen Stefani's Fun, Feathery Top Knot

Image
(Bauer Griffin) Gwen Stefani (Bauer Griffin) Instead of a sleek, classic bun, Gwen Stefani went for a top knot with lots of loose, feathery hair ends peeking out. To try this easy look, begin by pulling hair up into a tight pony tail on top of the head and keep a few strands loose to frame the face and create a little softness. Next, twist hair, wrap it tightly around the base of the ponytail and tuck ends loosely back into the hair elastic. Pull out a few of the shorter pieces and mist the whole thing with hairspray. We've spotted other celebrities with a similar look, including Lauren Conrad, Fergie and Nicole Richie. Check out all the pictures in the Hair Knot Lookbook .

Gwen Stefani & Kingston Wear Matching Camo Outfits

Image
Remember those matching mother-daughter outfits from the Laura Ashley days, including fabulousness such as this ? Well, this is nothing like that. Gwen Stefani and son Kingston went for a Target excursion ( where they purchased items from Stefani's Harajuku Mini line ) wearing coordinated camouflage pants. The 5-year-old punched up his look with a camouflage t-shirt and a camouflage hoodie. In different colors. Go big or go home, right? We already knew Kingston and his little brother Zuma had fearless style -- these are the kids, after all, who've been sporting mohawks since before they could walk ( that is, once they grew hair ). But we're loving the double-whammy of bold fashion from both a mini Rossdale and Gwen Stefani herself, who can pull off camouflage as easily as those bright lips. Plus, camo is way cooler than Laura Ashley. Check out the awesomest mother-son pair -- and see pics of Gwen's beauty evolution below. July 1999 1 of 56 PLAY FULLSCREEN ZOOM SHARE TH...

Gwen Stefani, Will Ferrell, Nicole Richie manifest for MOCA gala

Image
Downtown Los Angeles' Grand Avenue made good on its name Saturday evening, welcoming celebs, social types and, naturally, art fans to the Museum of Contemporary Art's annual gala. The museum tapped renowned performance artist Marina Abramovic as guest director for this year's fete, presenting "An Artist's Life Manifesto" with Debbie Harry as featured performer. Gwen Stefani attended, as she did last year, though husband Gavin Rossdale was nowhere in sight. Stefani instead buddied up to event chair Dasha Zuhkova, while Nicole Richie frolicked on the rainy grounds with actress Jaime King. PHOTOS : MOCA Gala 2011 | Arrivals Abramovic featured live performers as dinner centerpieces, with only their heads popping out from the tablecloths as guests ate and drank. Coexisting with the human heads wasn't the only thing Abramovic requested of the crowd: White lab coats were distributed and mandatory to don as dinner began. "It's this idea of transition,...

GWEN STEFANI STYLE HITS THE TODDLER & TWEEN SET It looks like the youngsters in our lives can expect plenty of colorful clothing in their Christmas stockings this year – Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Mini has finally launched in Target stores! The Harajuku Mini clothes – designed for boys and girls – are completely adorable and include everything from animal-inspired hoodies to tutus and everything in between. "Originally I just wanted to do the kids' stuff, but I got there the first day and Target was like, ‘DO THIS TOO!’ Honestly, I was kind of freaking out at first, because there is only so much I can really do well and still be a good mom," Stefani told BlogHer during the line’s launch last weekend. "Ultimately, with the tween line, I wanted them to feel cool and that they're expressing themselves through their clothes -- that's what I always did. It's a sensitive age. I was still really into Hello Kitty, but in a different way. I wanted to wear it wit...

A couple of big names in fashion are bringing new collections to mainstream chain stores this week. Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Mini for infants to teens is now available at Target. Similar to the blonde songstress' Asian-glam style (and her street-sophisticated high-end L.A.M.B. line for adults), these children's outfits pack a playful-meets-punk-meets-polished vibe and a Japanese-inspired flavor. And parents will be pleased that dressing like a rock star won't mean spending money like one. Many items are at or below $30, such as a cream and pink toddler's tutu for $17, a boy's graphic hooded jacket for $20 and a girl's ...
