/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm the anon from the last thread that was talking about Larme-kei and "American Lolita."
After doing some more reading I've discovered that the founders of Larme-kei want it to be referred to as just that, but each issue they release has a different theme. One of their early issues had the theme "Lolita," as in the book/movie and it appears that some of their overall influence comes directly from that. The magazine scans with the "American Lolita" theme I posted were from Cutie though, and I'm not sure what styles of fashion they normally feature but it had the Larme look. Anyway, it appears that "American Lolita" is a style and influence of Larme-kei.

I seem to recall someone in a recent thread complaining that Larme-kei / Swankiss style clothes looked too much like the "other Lolita" and they couldn't get into it for that reason.

Well, turns out they weren't wrong.

I love the way the style looks and I notice I tend to like Larme looks that have more of a "Lolita" influence. I am not sure what to think of that, ha ha.

Anyway, that's all I've got for now. Hope it was informative.
