2008-2012 are the Jfashion golden years. so much inspiration coming from different areas. lolita, gyaru, fairy kei, decora, they all fed off eachother.

now there's not many other styles holding strong besides lolita.

gyaru magazines had plenty of style crossover spreads. in this case, those outfits fit in with pastel/fairy style. This one from Ageha includes both "lolita" and "fairy" style

>What are your thoughts on the shifting trends in alternative (j)fash through the decade?
Jfashion has become more and more subdued. 2019 has to be the most drab and boring year yet, with beige/neutral tones all over the place. I can only hope that the pendulum is slowly going to start to swing in the opposite direction.

>Which aspects/styles have boomed and waned? Do you think it changed because of changes in mainstream fashion?

Jfashion tends to feed off eachother. When OTT Sweet/deco sweet was at it's peak, we had a decora revival, hime gyaru and ageha style was back, general gyaru trends were really bright and colorful and fairy kei was a thing. When stereotypical larme style got big, you saw it bleed into both lolita, and other brands like liz lisa and ank rouge. we need another trend to sweep all the styles.

>Is there a trend/style you're particularly upset about?
I liked Larme fine for casual wear, but i don't like the impact it had on lolita fashion.
