Gwen's New Line
Gwen Stefani previewed her new apparel line Harajuku Lovers on Friday at a late-night bash that capped a meandering L.A. Fashion Week.
Although they feature designs based on lyrics and iconography from Stefani's solo debut record, "Love.Angel.Music.Baby," the colorful clothes and accessories on display were above all inspired by Tokyo's Harajuku neighborhood - a busy retail district somewhat similar to L.A.'s Melrose Avenue, known for its eye-popping street fashions and for being Japan’s prime incubator for teen style trends. When they hit the stores later this year, Harajuku Lovers' Valentine candy-print underwear, backpacks, tees, and even luggage tags will undoubtedly have stylish Japanophiles squeal in delight, "kawaiiiiiiiiii!" - that's Japanese for "cute."
Hosting the party inside the historic Max Factor building, amidst framed memorabilia commemorating Old Hollywood glitz, was a nice touch. The locale seemed well suited to showcase Stefani's new glamour puss-meets-street-savvy urchin fashion enterprise.
Newlyweds Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, accompanied by one of their daughters, came to pledge their support, as did fierce Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson. Inside, cornrowed homegirls break-danced like ghetto-fabulous versions of '60s go-go girls; members of L.A. indie band The Like shimmied on the dance floor, and a jeans-clad Daryl Hannah tossed her long blond hair back and gave a hearty laugh that displayed a set of fake elongated canines. Veggie tempura snacks and drinks flowing from no less than five bars kept the guests satiated and liquored up as they waited patiently for Stefani to wrap up her concert at the nearby Hollywood Bowl.
