One of the things that surprised me when looking it up was just how many releases VM had on their webshop even as early as 2001. They were a really big brand by lolita standards then and held a lot of events, no wonder they got so many full-page spreads in the early G&LBs. Makes me wonder if their sporadic releasing now is really because of the design replicas and lack in popularity or if it's just the designer stepping back, or even getting bored and running out of ideas.

I also found myself a new oldschool dream dress while looking for it, and it's absolutely fucking beautiful:
