The area is known for its extravagent way of dressing, that came to world-wide fame when Gwen Stefani featured them on her 'Love.Angel.Music.Baby.' album and her subsequent fashion line - 'L.A.M.B.' There are several types of Harajuku 'style' such as Gothic-Lolita and Kawaii (Japanese for cute or pretty). Every Sunday, people flood into Harajuku station, dressed in their extravagent outfits, being inspired by everything from 'Little Bo Peep' to the Hello Kitty brand.
The geography of Harajuku fashion is that, what originally started as a small, unknown form of dressing, spread globally thanks to the promotion by an American artist. Nowadays, people everywhere are seen wearing clothes influenced by the region and shops inspired by the style have appeared across the globe and on the internet, such as shop and website 'Harajuku Lovers'.
