harajuku lovers

these harajuku lovers fragrances are divine. ok ok they've been around for a little while now, but i recently got one as a gift and i just adore it. the concept (yes there is one) behind them is pretty cool too. the word harajuku comes from a style or attitude displayed by girls from harajuku, tokyo. anything goes. outrageous. layered. eye-catching. the five dolls in the series represent gwen and her four back up dancers - love, angel, music and baby. also the title of her album. each fragrance offers something different. the range has done so well that an entire harajuku lovers clothing brand and even limited edition harajuku lovers 'snow' fragrances (the girls are dressed for the winter cold) are available. adorable.

was shown this poster series that won at canne. mccann worldgroup hong kong. pretty good. visually appealing. but the thought here is fantastic. only 350 were made. each is different. they were handmade by nike basketball league players - each colour and silkscreen represents a player. and the result? "a paper battlefield."
