Harajuku Gashapon are designed around the 3 styles of Harajuku girls, Gyaru, Gothloli and Decora, let us learn a little about these Japanese styles...Gyaru - The Japanese spelling of the word 'Gal', Gyaru subculture encompasses a fashion conscious crowd addicted to beauty and glamour. Typical Gyaru style includes tanned skin, dyed hair, perfect makeup and super high heels. These girls clothing reflects a bolder interpretation of western trends, with different brands giving their collections a boho, surfer, retro, preppy, nautical or hip hop twist.Gothloli - Short for Gothic Lolita, this style is based on historic western fashion of the Rococo and Victorian eras. Dresses are always elegant and ruffled, accessorised with capes bows, bonnets, or miniature top hats. Cute details such as tiny motifs or animal ears give it a uniquely Japanese touch. A Gothloli lifestyle also places emphasis on ladylike behaviour and activities, creating an aura of bygone romance.Decora - Decora girls adorn themselves with an explosion of cute accessories. Bright, busy and vivacious, they become a walking defiance to conventional fashion rules. Trademarks include countless hair clips, pins, bracelets as well as character merchandise. Decora clothing is equally outrageous with bold colours and layered textures. Many Decoras also love creating or customising their own jewellery and clothes. The "Itchy Feet" Gashapon will make a style princess of you with badges, stickers, guitar picks and pins. Accessories to maximise your Japanese style! Momiji Gashapon are the perfect stocking filler, thank you gift, sorry gift, romantic gift and any other type of gift you can think of. Quite simply, Momiji magic.
