>What got you into J-fashion?

I watched my bf post on other boards lot and occassionly pics of these cutely dressed girls would pop up. I started googling terms and got very enamoured with lolita. My bf sensing my growing interest pointed me towards /cgl/ and I found a little fashion wonderland. Finding images of girls around world wearing these fashions gave me the incentive to try it too.

>Why do you like it more than western fashion?

I like it more because it's so inventive! I wouldn't wear certain fashions like decora for example but I love the way they look and the time and energy that goes into co-ords. The 'being yourself' element through clothing really appeals to me. I find that everyone in my country dresses different by basically dressing in variations of the same thing with a buttload of Primark and H&M thrown in, it's depressing when you consider that before I was born there were famous street styles.

>What kind of japanese inspired things do you wish western fashion had more of?

More small details, lace and cute buttons that really finish off pieces. Cute tights and more platform shoes. Pastel trainers and more pastel stuff in general.

I'm just gonna dump some stuff to keep the thread going.
