Lolita to the Japanese
Lolita is a baroque tea party fantasy viewed through the eyes of a Victorian child played through the eyes of year 2000 Japanese girls. Started as a trend in 1999 and mixing a cornicopia of specific historical details Lolita turns out as one of the most unique genres of Japan fashion.
I thought a lot the other night and I didn't really come to a conclusion so I wanted to know other people's veiws. Of the few (in comparison) people outside Japan who know of Lolita, the style doesn't seem horribly rebelious. But how do people in Japan see it? I've read a few articles but they didn't really say anthing paticular. I know in some manga, Lolita is part of the gothic-like theme. But in others, the creator will have maybe a small drawing on one of the chapter dividing pages. even the japanese lolita's themselves have very mixed opinions, some do it for fun but think its silly, some do it for cosplay, some do it because their friends do it, some are very serious about it (the people who excually wear loli nightgowns to bed).Some are very elitist about it and bash other loli's by catching them on camera and telling them how stupid they look (cam wars).I don't think (and I've read) that japanese teens see it as a rebellion, at least they don't solely do it just for that... You might know that japanese lolita's may not be so creative/original as the western lolita's... some of them see it as just a fun way to blow their money.then something about other people , and how they view lolita's in Japan,-you have ofcourse the mother daughter couples wearing lolita - lolita is sexualized there,, and sometimes you'll see men dressed up as loli's to get close to the girls, ofcourse there are men who just love to wear lolita just because they love the fashion.-also some businessmen sexualize it and try to take pics-there are the adults who are really against lolita,, but also evry other way of young people "rebelling" you know example " what is japan coming to...kids who do compensated dating and have a big mouth against us mature people.. you should just get married and contribute to our society,, get a job ,, bl bla bla bla" - there will ofcourse be people who really don't care or see it all as cosplay.well I guess thats all for now..
Lolita fashion is inspire by the 16th century, the elegant victorian fashion.
There are different type of lolita have classify today. Each of them shown a different styles and aim of them Gothic Lolita is one of the subcategories of the Lolita look which is sort of deadly feels and it has a relation with the bibles and a "Classic Lolita" more traditional, light-coloured,using details pattern and mature-looking, morover a"Sweet Lolita" is more look like a priceness, childish pastel-coloured clothes, lots of lace and ribbons, details sewing. While the phrases "Elegant Gothic Lolita/EGL" and "Elegant Gothic Aristocrat/EGA" are often used by westerners as categories, in Japan they refer only to the two lines of the brand Moi-même-Moitié. Gothic Lolita (aka lolita, egl, gosu loli, loli goth etc) is a fashion from japan where sometime in the mid nineties fashion explosion young ladies took to dressing like Victorian Porcelain Dolls wearing cute voluminous frilly and lacey knee length dresses, frill top socks and Mary Janes the look was champion by J-pop and Visual Kei stars like Kana, Mana from Malice Mizer, Aya from Psycho-le-cemu and the author Novela Takemoto.Gothic Lolita style is usually a combination of black and white, often black with white lace and typically decorated with ribbons and lace trims. Skirts are knee length and may have a crinoline to add volume. As in mainstream Japanese fashion, over-knee socks or stockings are extremely popular. Black fishnet stockings and white or black tights are also common. Shoes or boots with high heels- though not usually stiletto heels- such as Mary Janes, complete the look. Frilly, ruffled or lace-trimmed Victorian blouses are also popular especially with "EGL" types, who may also favour long skirts and jackets rather than the overtly "childish" designs of typical gothloli's. Apart from the occasional shortness of skirts, designs are usually modest, sometimes with long lace-capped sleeves.However, this is not everyday clothing for adherents. Worn primarily in public for concerts and on weekends, the style is mostly for show and not a practical fashion.Lolita::::
