Readers of Olive Magazine are referred to as “Olive Girls”. Olive Girls could be broken down into three main style tribes. The first style tribe was a 'Girly' style tribe characterized by ribbons and frills, floral prints and other feminine motifs. The overall look had a fairy-tale like feel, included characters like alice in wonderland, and popular brands were Isao Kaneko’s Pink House, Wonderful World, MILK, AO and other similar brands. [1][2]
The second style was more of a tomyboy style, which was popularized by idols like kyoko koizumi and checkers. These girls would try to emulate London or Paris street style and there was a sort of anarchy to their style choices. [1][2]
Lastly, were girls who focused on small items and accessories, like character accessories and can badges, and kitchy things. They would collect and wear items they thought were cute in a very missmatched sort of way. This style would later give rise to some of the styles associated with Harajuku (like Decora).[1][2]
