Lolita - apparently a Japanese term for a man with the Lolita complex, or attraction to underage girls, but outside Japan it refers to erotic anime featuring young girls. Who would not have developed breasts yet.

Ganguro - is a style out of the Harajuku district. Girls bleach their hair and wear thick layers of tan and exaggerated makeup in a "feminine" style. The effect is barbie doll with urban war paint, which makes Geisha style ultra classy and this as nightmarish as a killer clown.

Kigurumi fashion - a combination of two Japanese words: kiru ("to wear") and nuigurumi ("stuffed toy"). commonly, it was referred to the performers wearing the costume, but the word has since grown to include the costumes themselves. In Japan, kigurumi costumes worn as way to break the conventions of traditional dress or just as comfy pajamas.

I find people in japan so cute and creative. I remember boyfriend always tells me he wants us to live there someday :)
ReplyDeleteyour bf have a taste girl! good choice! there's no safe place to live than japan!
ReplyDeleteby the way thanks!
Lolita really has nothing to do with anime outside of Japan. The term is popular because of the book Lolita from a Russian author that has gotten a lot of attention since its release.
ReplyDeleteLolita as a fashion is based on historical clothing from the Victorian and Rococo periods in France and England, respectively. The name is purely a coincidence and has nothing to do with little girls or attracting creepy men.
For the record, A LOT of people outside of Japan dress in Lolita and Gyaru fashion. It's gotten quite popular.
I really love how Japanese people dress up! They have a unique style! :)
ReplyDeleteTheir design is a little bit edgy but they carry it well.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually a fashion graduate. But in my years of learning about this specific industry, Japan's fashion sense has got to be one of the most outrageous, yet innovative at some point. And as the saying goes, "to each his own". This fashion style is definitely something that helps sets them apart.
ReplyDeleteMy say, Japan's fashion is of the weird side. I can't pathom kung a no gusto nilang palabasin.
ReplyDeleteJapan is a home of lots of weird things. I can still remember a post I've made before about Japan's fashion that influences face deformity.
