In 2009 was held in Bonn for the first time Dunkelsüß Lolita-market to enter with a claim for fans of this fashion has its own small exhibition to introduce to the young fashion label and inform all interested parties and can stock up on clothes and accessories. As an artist we have, of course, much more considered and working around behind the scenes for weeks and planned. And it is also a presentation created with presentation, I present the total market weekend several times before changing public was allowed.
Scarletsedusa it has a beautiful presentation built from our pictures and bullet points (you can really impressively well with Power Point!) And I have a paper to write. That I have rewritten and divided into thematic blocks, which I will gradually publish here. The next use of the Power Point presentation is on the Animagic 2010!
The following article will give a lecture on the Vorgeshcmack next weekend. have heard
Even for people who talk at the last Dunkelsüß market, which is now not automatically mean that they should skip the following article!
For I have the original text really generous revised to adapt it to the new medium. Not everything that makes good reading, can be also present the good and vice versa.
I the talk in the following products reclassified:
first Part: What is Lolita fashion and where they come from?
second Part: What are Styles?
And the last part, which consisted mainly of sample questions with answers, I added a personal review. After all, should be more than eight years of research on this fashion is something to be good, crowded out of a wardrobe. (And nothing to wear woman has won so ever!)
Accordingly, Part 3: What if .....?
What is Lolita fashion?
If I had to summarize in one sentence, what is Lolita fashion, I would say: a historicist style of dress, whose goal is a doll-like appearance to achieve.
historicizing this fashion because they are inspired mainly to European history, and absorbs elements from the styles of bygone eras.
result is this fashion trend in Japan in the 1970s to the 1980s and has today evolved greatly. Here in Europe the big boom came in at about the turn of the millennium.
Meanwhile, it is Lolita divided into many different style sub-groups, which I later detail. These so-called styles must be created as categories, as Lolita fashion is becoming increasingly diverse and designed to become a good tool for the description. They allow the description of an outfit to make more accurate because it makes a narrowing in the categories of what is in fashion possible in principle. To put it briefly, it takes a large part of the whole around the area to isolate better. As one example of the style of clothing in the Sailor Lolita Lolita-style, geared to sailors clothing. Instead of saying I wear Lolita fashion and I've put together an outfit that is reminiscent of sailor clothes, I can say simply: "I wear Lolita Sailor." Short and sweet. Total
is much emphasis on care, quality of materials and restraint, as opposed to free movement.
If you look at Lolita outfits look, then it will be noted that, overall, very little skin is shown. Clothes will never have a low-cut and the skirt length will be significantly longer than the modern mini-skirts.
The typical silhouette of a Lolita outfit consists of an about knee-length, bell-shaped flared skirt, a snugly-cut top, often with puffy sleeves, but still high neck, and a hairstyle with accessories such as hats or bows or other things. Also important are opaque stockings, elegant, or cute shoes, a petticoat and a pair of Bloomer.
go back the bonds of this fashion trend of the Victorian era right up to the Baroque and Rococo.
from the Baroque and Rococo, for example, elements such as elbow sleeves are long, stand-up collar, square cut outs, ornaments with lots of loops and a few others.
from the Victorian era are mainly borrowed from the colored socks, hats and bonnets as cylinders, sailor dresses, skirts with ruffled peplum
etc. The fact that the designers of Lolita fashion can actually be inspired by past eras, one can in my opinion to best illustrated by comparing pictures.
One of my favorite comparisons here is the Carrick of King Ludwig I of Bavaria and a coat from the autumn / winter collection of 2004, the Japanese Lolita brand Metamorphose temps de Fille.
But development is not yet completed. Now that there already is one of the 20 Century of history and even today already integrated as a historic element, as shown by a few examples that relate to the 60s, the punk fashion, or the 80s and 90s.
Save on actual historical elements takes Lolita fashion but also in relation to specific themes that often come from fairy tales. Fairy tales such as Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood and Sleeping Beauty always give inspiration for new collections.
A very important role takes on an Alice in Wonderland. Alice motifs found by far the most common, such as the characters from the story itself and playing card motifs and crowns.
Lolita is a very romantic and playful fashion direction, which targets mainly young women and girls. But outside of these main target group, there are many lovers of fashion, and some brands have introduced special lines of men. Thus, for example, produced the Japanese label Alice and the Pirates, that as a sub-label of Baby, the Stars Shine Bright was born and clothing based pirates makes (Pirates of the Caribbean says hello!), certain items of clothing in both men's and women's size. And an age limit to be fashionable, there are basically never!
