Harajuku style gets its name from Japan's Harajuku station. This is a hip area in Japan, filled with trendy boutiques and fashionable teens. Harajuku style ranges from anime characters to Goth Lolita and Visual Kei. Anime is based on Japanese cartoon characters. Gothic Lolita is a style of dress characterized by a Victorian or Rococo look mixed with dark eyeliner and red lipstick. Visual Kei is a fashion movement among Japanese musicians that features creative make-up, crazy costume and unique hairstyles. It is playful, sexy and different from any fashion trends you'll find in the US. Gwen Stefani and her entourage of Harajuku girls popularized teen Harajuku style in the US. You can see her with the Harajuku girls at most red carpet events.
