Gwen Stefani slams cultural appropriation claims, explains why she doesn’t discuss politics
Gwen Stefani is hitting back at longstanding claims that through her association with the "Harajuku Girls," a group of Japanese-American women known for their steep sense of style, Stefani has been "appropriating" Japanese street fashion. The "No Doubt," 51, singer fended off criticism in a cover interview with Paper magazine on Wednesday and told the publication that in her estimation, all cultures have inspiration from many outside influences that make it what it is.
