Gwen Stefani to Design Children’s Line for Target

By  | 

Gwen Stefani is set to design a Japanese inspired children’s line for Target. Seriously. This is actually true and hot off the press, from the fashion bible, Women’s Wear Daily (WWD).  Erstwhile punk rocker (No Doubt)  and part time fashion designer, Gwen Stefani is going to partner with Target on a clothing line for children. Seriously. Check out how cool her boy Kingston is on the runway above.  But the question is, will Target shoppers want their kids to look like Kingston?

You’ll never guess what this collection will be called.  Wait for it.  It’s seriously non-Target like. It will be called Harajuku Mini (after Harajuku Lovers, Gwen’s accessories and fragrance collection known for its  Japanese over tones.)  The fabuless Stefani’s Target range is planned to  include clothing and accessories for babies, children and tweens, reported Women’s Wear Daily.

“Harajuku Mini is a dream come true,” Stefani told WWD. “I’ve always wanted to do a cool children’s fashion line inspired by the super cute and playful kid’s clothing you find in Japan.”  All I can say to that is a cynical no doubt. Right. I’m sure this was always a dream of hers.

My spies tell me that prices are supposed to start at $3.99 with nothing over $20.00 in this Target collection.  I really wish Target would step up their game and now contact Liam Gallagher about bringing his “Pretty Green ” line to the Bullseye. Now that would be exciting.  Just imagine the commercials! 🙂 Wouldn’t you love to see this commercial in a Target version?
