Most Japanese catalogs s would be expected show Japanese children modeling the school uniform garments. We have, noted, however, quite a few catalogs that use Western children. I'm not precisely sure why this is. I think perhaps the idea is that Western children give the clothes a stylish image. I am not entirely sure just why this is. Western children seem especially prevalent in the catalog pages devoted to suits.
