Did anyone see that Akira got married? So happy for her!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Announcement

To everyone who has been supporting me.
And to everyone who helps me out on a daily basis.

This announcement is after the fact, but on March 21st, 2019, I got legally married to a man outside of the entertainment industry!! The date is 3-2-1!

I’ve always gone on and on about wanting to get married, but I never thought the day would come when it would actually happen…
I still don’t believe it lol.

I like to do things my own way, and I’m bad at making concessions for others, so…

But I’d even wear a skirt if he wanted me to!

When I had that thought, I knew he was the one for me.

He’s a very hard worker, he loves music, and he’s the type of normal guy who can say thank for even the smallest things. The president of my agency even said, “He’s a good guy!” and gave him the stamp of approval, so rest assured! lol

I still don’t quite understand what it means to be married…or to be someone’s wife…but for now, I’ll just keep moving forward and figure it out for myself.

I may be a newlywed now, but I hope you will keep supporting me just like you did before!
AKIRA

It sucks, I haven't found a true "deal" in awhile. Now it's just about finding stuff at or under retail. It's not like how it used to be.

Hi tattoo anon here, I never said art theft was okay? And I don't understand where you even got that from. I stopped responding because I don't want to contribute toward shitting up a thread over something as stupid as this. I agree that if an artist doesn't want their stuff used, it's not okay, but Katosan says it's okay in general for people to get her stuff tattoo'd and encourages people to share their tattoos based on her work with her. I haven't messaged her asking for her files because I also don't believe she has files from that long ago. I didn't realize this would offend someone this bad, so sorry? What am i supposed to say?

oh fuck off already. nobody should be this assmad about someone getting a design tattooed on their body. not only does this tattoo not effect you in any way, its also not art theft you dolt. it is literally the same as getting a tattoo of a character or band you admire, or a tattoo of a famous painting like the Dali elephants for example. quit trying to shit up this thread with your low quality, baited opinions. getting a meta design tattooed is no different than getting a tattoo of a deceptacon. nobody is going to freak out about this tattoo except for you, kys.

That's it. It's still someone's art and to use it one should first get their permission, no matter the use they're aiming.

I know it was an extreme example, but this logic is often used by replica-chans when they get their replicated dresses: "I wasn't going to buy from the brand anyway, so they didn't lose any money!" or "It's not like I'mt trying to profit with this replica!".

I feel like addressing it as art-theft is way more effective than using the "they're not going to profit" reasoning.

It used to be about high quality, attention to tiny details, design choices, and motifs that call back to themes, ideas, and aesthetics that lolita took inspiration from, i.e. fairytales, gothic themes, romanticized ideas of the Victorian era, etc. But with decreasing quality in brands and an active push to break from "boundaries", lolita is kind of losing it's aesthetic identity in the last few years. Sorry if that comes off as unnecessarily dramatic, it's how I see things.
In any case, I'd stay that things like quality, details, and motifs still set lolita apart from other styles, and saying that geometric prints like this "work better" than florals, like anon said, is hilariously off base.

I said super busy/floral and I said it would lend itself better, not that squares and circles have an inherent superiority to flowers. I know you've been in this fashion long enough to know lolita isn't literally just spiraling roses and plates of macarons.
I can see where you might feel it doesn't fit the aesthetic, though I disagree - change the colors to dusty pink, light brown, and cream, maybe add a bustle and I've seen this dress before. It is too busy for my taste, but as far as attempts go, it's nowhere near as hideous as was suggested. This fashion has taken on comparable patterns before, no reason this is extraordinarily different

>> No.10169921

>>10169919
The print you posted looks more like an antique wallpaper in terms of design and layout (chocolate motifs and questionable colorway aside, obviously), it's not just geometric shapes. I'm not a fan of modern busy prints, in all fairness, but I'm still of the opinion that the geometric fabric you posted as examples wouldn't suit lolita. Then again, I might have an outdated view of the style and what suits it, I'd love to be proven wrong if I am.

idk, i don't think it matters as that much.
A lot of things have changed since 2003. The emphasis on ott ruffles and contrasting black fabric/white lace is largely gone and sometimes it's hard to even appreciate it. Qi lolita, previously an insta-ita style has quite a few decent looks. Various mooks display designs we don't normally associate with. China forced cat prints on us. There's still girls out there trying to make nerd bedsheet lolita happen. At the end of the day, we all call ourselves lolitas. Fashions change and evolve over time, just like everything else.
neway short answer, if it fits like lolita, drapes like lolita, and is of comparable quality to what we consider good looks, idk why the print being unusual would really be a disqualifier, not like there's a math book like "okay x+y=lolita, where x=sky blue/pink colorway and y=cute themed border print, however y can be substituted with an all over print IF x=(these colors) OR y can=an ironic science print IF variable z (fluffy blouse/cardigan) is added

I kinda think the print would look a little confused in lolita unless you were doing a minimal lolita look as in a plain jsk with no pintucks or ruffles or lace, unless you could make a cluny lace to match the pattern or something or gathers and folds that work with the pattern. Have you seen the plus loli who wears a turban, she incorporates the odd traditional element

As much as I hate this fucking dress, a lot of people love it and it is just as much of a clusterfuck as the dress you posted.

As far as I'm concerned, gems are just geometric shapes and the pattern for pic related is just geometric shapes repeated in a line but in different colors.

I agree with you anon. After reading interviews with Kira Imai and attending her Q&A panel, I'm under the impression that lolitas just wanted to dress in what they thought were western clothes.

Not really, I have a feeling they had some strict fantasy definition of what they'd consider "western clothing in another time period" and it wasn't open for some nonsense debate like "Africa is totally not Eastern therefore it is western therefore every single African thing must be lolita". That's kinda bullshit.

So given the type of western fantasy you find Momoko spouting (as the closest well-known proxy), it actually makes it way more obvious to figure that curving florals and fancy French desserts are much more in line with motifs you'd find on a lolita dress rather than a loud print of abstract geometrical shapes.

Even qi/walolita is easily explained by chinoiserie, though it's now funny to think it's Asian girls imitating western-looking clothes imitating asian clothes

I'm not the one arguing about patterns above. I just came in and saw the debate and then made a couple of comments about it.

I remain unconvinced that a simple statement like "western clothes" is all that game-changing. It easily fits into interpreting lolita as being "influenced by baroque/victorian/[time period] children's/fantasy clothing".

In other words, it's already what every other lolita since days of egl has defined what lolita is. It just so happens to tie back to the geometric argument pretty neatly, is all.

As for indie brands -- they can stand on their own merit, Excentrique, Moon Afternoon, Rosa Bianca, etc are all accepted as indie lolita brands on their aesthetics alone, not their size or "main brand"ness. I don't think we should make an exception because you want crazy prints? idk just wear crazy prints if you want, not like anyone is gonna come in and stop you.

It's a game changer for me because it changed the way I think of the fashion a little.

I never said it applied to you or anyone else nor did I think you and other repliers who take it to heart so much that you'd feel the need to dissect the most simple statement.

Also lolita definitely has rules but I don't think they are for prints, more just the silhouette.

>> No.10170485

I think the fabric is lovely, it almost looks like bows. I just don't think this dress is styled and executed as well as it could be. If it had a ruffle in the sheer blue or a bit of gold lace on the bottom hem, and if the girl had socks or tights on, it would work better. Some more detailing on the bust area would be nice too, maybe some pearls? It's just a bit too plain for lolita, it doesn't have the stylistic touches imo.

But there were never any really strict rules. The handbook was written up to help newbies dress themselves, not applied to the fashion as a rulebook to say if you're in or out.

There's just a bunch of aesthetics, and the thing is for some reason western people just can't seem to look at a moodboard and read the whole "fantasy oldey timey western clothing" aesthetic without someone handholding them with a bunch of rules for some reason. Hence, rules.

It's about as restrictive or as carefree as you want. I'd put the prints down as something that would either contribute or take away from the aesthetic itself, but sure, if you need a rulebook that you have to tick off and then satisfy yourself that something is "lolita" because "it's about the silhoutte, not the print", suit yourself.

You all talking about rules, I hope you're aware of that GLB Extra with the handbook written by different Brands. Victorian Maiden had a small part on it where it says something on the lines of: "The rules are for those who are not certain on how to start.

That is uber beautiful. If they weren't scheduled to rerelease Silent Moon, I'd buy this one right away.

I can't unsee that weird clip on fringe she seems to be using these days.
That said I'd like the yukata more if they went for their candelabra logo instead of that strange MMM branded all over.

Why not call it lolita? Some random people calling the wrong thing lolita isn't going to influence what brands release and change the fashion as a whole.

Thanks for the heads up

Anon, check your facts. There's a Kera from 98 that depicts a Lolita wearing crocs and explaining that it should be as colourful as possible.

>> No.10171220

>>10170007
The problem is this dress still has plenty of the things that define lolita. A feeling of luxury (gemstones especially evoke that), very effeminate, lots of lace, high quality, and clearly inspired from the eras most lolita is. You can hate this print all you want, but it really is very lolita and nothing about it isn't.

>>10169862
This is probably as good as wax print lolita could ever be, but this whole coord has none of thee above. The pattern is simply not lolita at all and no brand has ever used wax print and probably ever will. I think >>10169905 anon has the right idea where we should not be thinking a puffy dress alone makes us what we are as a fashion.

>> No.10171238

>>10171212
Yeah, and? How does that make anything I've said wrong? Kera and glb mentioned the anatomy of lolita several times over the years and as the years passed it got more defined.

>> No.10171247

>>10171187
Because it will inevitably attract and reaffirm the lolita at heart types who want to call everything lolita that we tried to keep away for years.

>> No.10171252

>>10171247
But those people will do that anyway. Itas and lolitas at heart exist and they're not hurting anyone lol. You're only scaring actual lolitas who broke one or two rules from posting.

>> No.10171271

>>10171187
Agreed. I think people take it too seriously.
I think it is fair to say "that isn't lolita to me", but I don't think there is really any reason to fight people on it.
You will never be able to unify the community completely and this seems like a more or less harmless disagreement. I assume the people who are real into it are just young and pushing for a label that they can identify with completely.

She’s mentioned that mmm asked her to wear clip-in fringe — I prefer her without, but I guess she looks more vkei with it. >>10171311

Are you okay in the brain, anon? Did you just not like the greentext?

>> No.10171487

>>10171485
That post is exactly the type of post that should go in the feels thread. The lolita general is for new releases and current topics, not you bitching about your life.

>> No.10171488

>>10171487
Better have a bitch at the anon upthread who was happy about getting a job that allowed her to buy Lolita, too, then.

Yes, that post belongs in the feels thread too, good job!

I see. Since the janitor already dismissed you, it was kind of a mistake to reply at all. I only wish I'd known before. I'll stop engaging now.

Wasn’t me, and again, it’s common for people to complain about. Lurkmoar newfag.

nayrt but it’s aggrivating to see newfags attention seeking with feelsposts in the general.

Just listen to them and go to the feels thread, they are right.

I don't think that's what anon meant with them being luxurious enough. Are wax fabrics really on par with the quality of lolita brand fabrics?

>> No.10171729

>>10169862
It's pretty good as handmade goes, and she color coorded it well. She also didn't go OTT, which I like.
Sort of reminds me of the Wafrica collection, fusion can be done well and it shortcircuits SJW snowflakes who whine about muh cultural appropriation. https://www.huffingtonpost.jp/2017/10/18/odasho_a_23244231/

Any recommended merchants/stores to get a non-shiney wig for daily use? Theres so many to choose from and the shipping time is so long I dont want to take a risk on a product only to find it isn't as good as in the pictures.
