Define Girl Crush in photography

  In my series, girl is refer to the female aged 16-18. Girl Crush is to show the charm of girls through different fashion styles. Different countries have their own fashion styles. So, I want to compare different countries' fashion of girls. I will compare the fashion of Western and Asian girls to show the Girl Crush.

  Fashion styles can reflect the characteristic of girls. For example, Japanese girls like wearing colorful clothes and accessories. Many people's impression of Japanese girls is "kawaii".
