Some of Kawaiiholics new release would be suitable right..?

>>9463936
It's Hypercore, they focus on a hardcore tattoo look.

>>9464268
Man this outfit reminds me how i need to make a sailor collar to put under jumpers. Any good guides out there? I mean one where it can look like you have a seifuku underneath.

>>9459873
Judging by Yu's recent retweets, the June collab is going to be Disney. I forgot that they did a collab with them before.

>>9464408
And it makes sense as the last collab was for the 110 Disney anniversary, this year is the 115 one.

Harajuku kids these days sure like the messy stolen art print tees.

>>9464466
I'm still not understanding how people try and pretend Menhera is some super concrete style when nips are essentially wearing Tumblr vomit like this and getting away with passing it off as Menhera.
>inb4 "b-but one of them is wearing the chinese bun hair coverings"

>>9464746
You just went full retard, nobody said everybody in this picture is wearing Menhera but the left one wears a Shojo Kenjiyoku shirt and the middle one is featuring one of Saccstry's guro pieces.

>>9464746
>this
>not gurokawa
Newfag.

>>9464782
Where is the guro in any of those coords? Fuck off. The Saccstry print is covered by her hair and accessories, too.

>>9464770
Why post all of them if only 1/3rd of them are wearing Menhera? And the "Saccstry guro piece" isn't even showing.

>>9464786
Thanks for confirming you are indeed new.

>>9464804
>new
You literally say this every thread when someone disagrees with you. Stop posting, you sound like a pissed off summerfag.

>>9463853
Ugh, that color palette is bad. I wish they could change it to something less eye searing, I'd consider getting the bandage one then
>>9463854
The only one here that I sorta like is the syringe and would like it a lot better with thinner lines, a different color palette, and no stars so it looked more clean and streamlined. Less is more sometimes
>>9463856
Would be better with no text/ribbon

>>9464825
>implying only one person on /cgl/ calls others new
>calls others summerfag
Oh you, bait harder.

>>9464847
I dont know what is with that girl and choosing the worst colors. She previously did these and I am just not a fan of the color palette.

>>9464976
It is not exactly her fault tho as the colors are decided by user voting on Tumblr.

>>9465001
It's her fault for putting the colors together in the first place. Like, why the heck is there blue in the greenxpurple colorway?

>>9465004
Instead of complaining like a little bitch, go make your own pins in colors you prefer!

>>9465011
I don't even collect pins, I'm just criticizing her color choices. How can she be an artist and not have a grasp of color theory?

>>9465014
How can you be such a little bitch that you complain about things you don't even have interest in buying?

She's not even an artist. She creates crafts, but not art hence the concept picture related:
>https://www.etsy.com/listing/525828557/preorder-melty-melancholic-yandere

>>9465014
>colors requested and voted by customers
>her color choices
?

>>9464866
Except it's clear when it's one specific ESL person.

>>9465017
>>9465018
not that anon, but they're still fugly lol
Why even give the power of the palette to tumblrinas?

>>9465011
This is a board for discussion. We are allowed to express our opinions. Stop being butthurt because someone didn't like your bizarre color choices. Constructive criticism about the color palette or design is better than just saying "I don't like it" because if you say that here, someone in this thread will accuse you of yellow fever

>>9465004
The real question is why is there a green x purple color? Those colors look awful together. If she was smart, she'd offer a pink/pastel colorway in appealing colors (meaning no green), and a black/red colorway, to cater to those who prefer both the pastel look and the dark look

>>9465326
I mean literally posts above have green and purple together >>9463867
Green and purple are a perfectly fine combination.

>>9465323
I'm not the creator.

>>9464770
People are always referencing Kirk Lazarus in these threads. Everyone must be a fan of Tropic Thunder, I suppose.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wVagQ_LVd4

>>9465357
How new are you?

>>9465333
I don't like that shirt either desu

>>9464746
Not to add to the crabbiness, but I don't think anyone "pretends" that menhera is as concrete as let's say..lolita. I don't think it being concrete would make it very interesting, but I will say that these outfits aren't as aesthetically pleasing to the eye as others..

>>9463848
Her manufacturer is Digitalartwear right? Not a lot of places offer printed thigh highs, so I hope she's able to find a new, better manufacturer soon.

>>9465477
Yup, they suck. I emailed them about printing some socks and they never responded

>>9465477
Oh seriously lol? I thought it was somewhere else. Because I thought when she first started she had one manufacturer but then switched. Digitalartwear is the only place I personally know of that does printed knee highs. So I thought she lucked out and found another manufacturer but I guess not

>>9465488
They offer socks listed as "knee highs" (not sure if they're otks or utks because the picture doesn't show it on a model) and socks listed as thigh highs, which are definitely thigh high. I think the reason there are so few companies that print them is just lack of demand, and it really sucks for small artists like CC who don't get enough orders for it to be cost efficient to contract a factory in China to print custom socks. I wonder where all these small Japanese designers get their stuff printed? Like Namekujisalt and Whoopingcough, I wonder where they get their thigh highs printed

>>9465318
Because they are the ones that buy it? There is no point in making colorways that won't sell.

>>9465520
>I wonder where they get their thigh highs printed
There are quite a few companies that offer printing hosiery, the manufacturer behind https://kawaii-funding.com/ is one of them (a few Menhera indie brands use that site now, too).

>>9465187
Ok then, different anon here, can it bro. Legit no one gives two fucks.

Stupid question but why is the kagome crest such a popular motif in menhera?

>>9465638
"Due to the occult sybolism, it is very popular within the magical girl genre and therefore made it quickly into the outfits of cute jfashion styles. Just like the pentagram, it is a popular talisman for keeping evil spirits (such as sickness) away."

Quote from fymenhera

>>9465627
The conversation already ended an entire day ago but you had to come back to whiteknight?
Nah, fuck you.

>>9465648
Ty anon, this was the sort of answer I was looking for. I think hexagrams are a cool symbol but here in America the first association is Judaism so I feel weird wearing them, even the tiny little one on my menhera-chan shirt.

>>9465563
There are plenty of companies I've found that offer printed tights, no show/ankle socks, crew cut socks, and even under the knee socks but finding companies that do custom printed thigh highs is hard. Are there other companies you know of? I'm not sure I can use that website you linked because they probably only take Japanese cards and I'm not sure you can go through an SS for something where you get money instead of spending it

I don't know any english-speaking companies but there are many in Japan, sorry.

http://tinkerbell-dream.com/102.html (Ozawa Dango uses them for her cyclops merch)
http://www.textile-net.jp/digital_print/tights_print.html
Couldn't most screenprinting shops do tigh highs tho?

>>9465770
I wouldn't have a problem going through the hassle of an SS, but in this case, it would drive the price up and therefore I would have to sell socks at a higher price. Thanks anyways though. Ugh. Digitalartwear either needs to fix their shit or we need to hope another western manufacturer decides to offer printed thigh highs.

>>9465783
If you have an Etsy shop, go to the shop dashboard. You'll find a section called "production assistance". Click "find a partner", and select printing/dye sublimation/fabric and textiles/apparel from the criteria. Make sure you set the location to "anywhere".

That's my last straw as an option. I noticed many offered "wide format" or printing up to 4 feet. It'll be a pain, but it might be worth contacting each individual company.

>>9465469
Sauce on shirt holy shit

>>9465816
I think KERASHOP.
>http://ameblo.jp/keraykhm/

>>9465807
I went through every single goddamn manufacturer and no body doing sublimation printing has thigh highs in their catalog. Ugh. Time to use my SS again I guess

>>9466172
I sincerely tried, but sadly to no avail.

>>9466172
I'm emailing every single manufacturer I can find domestically with the inquiry regardless of the absence on their catalogs. If I get any positive response, I will post immediately with link.

>>9466172
Update, check out the company called "9D Apparel" on the Etsy production list. They seem willing to print on anything. The catch?

You have send in not only your design, but your own "blanks" for production. They do not have a catalog because the customer provides the blank product. They can print on polyester.

With each new release Cherry's collections get sold out faster. I think the tees only took max 4 hours this time until they were gone.

>>9468321
That's great for her, I'm glad she's doing well, she's had her shop for about a year now and I remember back when she was just showing everyone her ideas for the socks in these threads. The next move for her would be to offer more stock next time to turn a larger profit

>>9468335
I totally timed a toilet break at work so I could buy things before they went

>>9463846
So I know this an annoying question and Im basically asking to be spoon feed but I dont really follow menhara or gurokawa, I wanted to get a friend mine a pair of printed thigh highs for her birthday, i only know CC (they dont have any appropriate ones rn) and akatako has some Hajime Kinoko ones, she really likes Kuua's artwork but I have no clue what brands have collabs with her

despite all my googling I cant really find anywhere I feel like a complete fool

>>9465358
this is so cute. where is the shirt from ??

>>9468547
The brand she worked with that stocked thigh highs featuring her designs no longer exists. That is why you cannot find it, you are not a fool.

>>9468667
Ah ok I see thats a shane, thanks for making me feel like not a fool anon ahaha

>>9468700
No problem! Kuua has a design in stock on a T-trinity store, but it's not leg wear sadly. Here's the links anyway.
>https://www.ttrinity.jp/product/2427665#1
>https://www.ttrinity.jp/product/2427604#76

I would post some brands with leg wear, but I don't know any with a design comparable to the all-over-art of Kuua's.

>>9468571
I had to double check. It's the brand 'Unsung Hero'.
>https://twitter.com/unsunghero_jp/
>http://unsunghero.jp/

They can also be found on VV.
>http://vvstore.jp/feature/detail/5881/

>>9468746
Thanks for the links anon! whilst i am looking for socks she does like kuua's art a lot so I might go for that if i cant find something else, i was thinking really just 'stereotypical' gurokawa with the thigh highs so like bruises and bandaids, that sort of thing; like i said CC only has thigh highs with stars atm and thats really the only store I know does that sort of style 100% of the time

>>9468764
I will list the socks that come to the top of my head with a scratches, stitches, band-aid, or bruises theme. Oh, picture related, but I cannot for the life of me find the brand.

Anon you are an angel, thanks so much! Those listen flavour ones with the stitches are perfect i think :)

>>9468848
No problem! Happy birthday to your friend!

>>9468335
>he next move for her would be to offer more stock next time to turn a larger profit
That would only work if she could get rid of digitalartwear as their customer service shit and they often lose shit without refunding it.

>>9468811
>Oh, picture related, but I cannot for the life of me find the brand.
They are by Kawaii Kyo.

Sugarpill does obvious now.

Sugarpill Cosmetics now offers enamel pins, but this is the only one I saw that I think is appropriate for menhera

>>9468952
Ha, we posted at the same time

>>9468950
Thank you. I don't know why that single brand always slips my mind.

>>9468952
>>9468953
Ive never used their cosmetics but I usually like sugar pills aesthetic. But I dont really like how weirdly long and thin these capsule pills look. Sage for my extreme nitpick

>>9468986
Yeah I agree. They're too long and thin to look cute

>>9468986
Because they are supposed to look like their lipsticks and those are long for the obvious reasons.

>>9468989
>>9468986
I didn't even notice until both mentioned it, but now I see it.
>>9468992
They do have cute packaging for their products. I do really like the use of glitter in the pins.

I bought some socks from Shojou Kakumei about three weeks ago, and they haven't arrived yet. My shopping service said the store was going to send out some special inventory but I'm really worried/annoyed at this rate. Too bad there isn't anything I can do about it, I guess.

>>9468950
Link on the shop or socks?

>>9469635
They are not getting produced anymore since 2015 so there is no point in posting and it's listed in the shoplist anyways.

Uh, what the fuck is this? Fymenhera really needs to implement some kind of quality control for their content, they're reblogging shitty fetish art now. The original post was tagged as menhera so it's fair game

>>9469876
Agreed. They even reblogged the video of it being drawn/painted a fucking day later. Is this some kind of joke? No one wants to see that shit.
Made me throw up on my dash.

>>9469876
>>9470243
Everything gets reblogged, no matter the quality, as it encourages drawing and improving.

>>9469876
>>9470243
>complaining about fetish art
>in a thread about fashion that fetishizes mental illness and gore
kek

>>9470257
And non-fashion posts get deleted after ~12 hours anyways.

>>9470257
Well that's a bad policy. It doesn't encourage improvement, it's just an asspat and then they think what they're doing is fine. And I visited the guys blog to check and it's definitely a fetish thing

>>9470267
Tell me when you see hideous fucking muscle girls on a shirt print, then we'll see.
Otherwise, fuck off with this ugly shit. If the idea is "Mental illness and gore!!1", I'll go ahead and spam the "menhera" tag with IRL gore and scat fetish art from deviantART and you better reblog it all.

>>9470286

>>9470295
Nayrt but I agree. It's like that girl that tried to sell that snot print, it's not fucking cute

>>9470295
Reblog my totes menhera scat art and dead bodies, anon

>>9470286
Someone that fetishizes mental illness has no right to complain about anything, you're disgusting.

>>9470303
>what is an aesthetic
>what are aesthetic principles
Is this HWC, or are you the person who was defending the muscle girl art trying to play devil's advocate? Either way, you need to stop.

>>9470303

>>9470267
What do mental illness and gore have to do with gross muscle girl fetish art?
And don't try and pretend this isn't fetish art lmao

>>9470354
So totally different to the futa and loli art that was posted some pages back that had everyone gushing over it?

Guess what, Kuua is gay and likes to draw girls with tentacles and such. What's that it's not fetish if I specifically happen to like it? Only if it's something I don't like?

>>9470354
Romanticising mental illness is no different.

>>9470375
>So totally different to the futa and loli art that was posted some pages back that had everyone gushing over it?
The futa and loli merch were primarily feminine in tone, used light/pastely colors, and were girly and cute, which is kind of integral to Menhera looks. If they looked like the deviantart abomination that got reblogged, nobody would be gushing over it.
Muscle is not kawaii. Deal with it. At best, it can be a joke when it's put into feminine contexts (see: Ladybaby) and at worst, it's some weirdo's jack off material.
It doesn't fit the aesthetic. Just fucking live with it.
Kuua Oyasumi's art generally has a girly, visually pleasing tone to it even though it may deal in paraphilias. That is what makes the work of hers that gets lauded and posted here aesthetically acceptable and related to the thread. >>9469876,
however, does not. The colors are clashing, the character's face is botched, the anatomy is something out of a 12 year old's poorly-drawn superhero fancomic, and the syringe wasn't even fully drawn. No one in their right mind would wear that on a shirt or otherwise support it, unless they're getting off on it.

>>9470385
Someone really hates muscle, did you get beat up by a muscle woman or something?
Muscle women can be cute too.

>>9470385
what do you mean I'm not kawaii?

>>9470388
>You don't like this ugly art?! You must hate muscle and have been beaten up by a muscle woman!
Wow, nice argument. You got me there. I have nothing against muscle, but it's not and never will be cute.
This is by the same artist. This is what you are defending as menhera. Let that sink in.

>>9470395
She's quite freakish-looking because her head doesn't fit her body. Plus, the only people who admire her are fetishists making thirsty comments on her IG and those in the dumblr body positivity movemnt, so you essentially proved that anon right.
>ITT: Salty muscle girls mad that they can't be kawaii

>>9470385
More kawaii than u, anon

Fixed

>>9470412
>implying there's only one person complaining
If you reblog shit content, you will get shit responses. At least the "whining" is on topic.

>>9470412
Fuck off back to your muscle fetish sites. No one here wants to see that.

>>9470417
>complaining about something you do yourself

If the butthurt musclefag defender is done, can we discuss if there are any western brands coming out with stuff? I know enamel pins are getting quite popular.

>>9470455
We may finally get more tigh highs.

The company 9D Apparel has responded that if the customer provides the tights or thigh-high socks, that they could do the printing. They said they print on every material imaginable even nylon, polyester, and rayon. They said their minimum is 25 per order. They followed up with, "If the customer needs us to provide the garment as well, that is also possible." Their email is g7.kbhps @ gmail . com.

>>9470375
>homosexuality is a fetish now
wow, i already hear regular homophobes and so called "liberals" (homophobes 2.0) saying this, and now /cgl/?
bait harder

On a different note, I need some concrit on this outfit. It's defiantly a level up from the first outfit i posted, but it still needs a lot of work. I know you guys won't let me off easy.

>>9470615

>>9470616
I'd love to give you concrit, but I can barely see your outfit due to the wig and color balance. A flat coord might be more helpful, but I would ditch the eye patch because it makes it a little costumey

>>9470616
Ah! The necklace. I love the star on it. I don't really have any critique. I like everything in the outfit except the floppy bow. I guess that's personal taste, but maybe a different hair accessory. If you really wanted to up the magical girl theme factor, you could do spiral or plain curls in the bottom of your hair.

>>9470616
Get rid of the syringe necklace. The yellow is really distracting, even with the yellow in your shirt

>>9470616
I like the colour coordination and makeup.
That said, to me, this look is more of a "miss" than a hit. It's too fussy to be casual, but too sloppy to feel "dressed to impress." Sneakers are a no-go -- try clunkier shoes with a bit of platform and you will be shocked how much it pulls an outfit together. Casual sneakers and a garter are especially incongruous.

Oh, and are the accessories from the neck up a bit cheap, in terms of materials. When you're going to wear eyecatching stuff, that's the time to splurge a bit more for quality lace/ribbon/craftsmanship.

>>9470620
Sorry about the quality, all I had from this outfit where bad selfies. Will look for a better way to place the hair next time. It defiantly covers up what I want to be shown.
>>9470626
Thank you! It was actually an item from CC before she stopped making them. As for the bow it was kind of a place holder since I really didn't know what to top off the outfit with. Maybe doing some twin tails or a different wig would suit this since it's covering up so much?
>>9470647
Is it too much yellow concentrated in one area? Should I think about maybe placing more yellow-ish tones in other places or just get rid of it as a whole?
>>9470648
Thank you! Should I gravitate towards casual instead of over the top? Going to try and get better shoes for this, but I've always been nervous of platforms. Noted on the eye patch, thinking of redoing it or just disregarding the whole thing since it was made in an hour.

>>9470616
That top is everything but Menhera. I mean, how would you think a cat with sunglasses on top of the moon would fit?

>>9470559
Not that anon but yuri cathers to the obvious, just like how yaoi obviously isn't aimed at gay guys but girls who have a fetish for gay animu boys kissing.

>>9470559
>likes to draw girls with tentacles and such. What's that it's not fetish if I specifically happen to like it?
Reading helps, how is the tentacle rape homosexuality and not a fetish?

>>9470664
I think it's best to figure out the core of your look before you start going nuts on accessories. It's easy to say, "I'll put on all my Menhera accessories to make it more Menhera!" but accessories are there to complement the rest of the look, and adding ones that don't go well with each other or the main piece detracts. So instead of thinking, "I'll add theme with accessories," put on an outfit with a good silhouette and proper bag and shoes, then think, "What kind of item should I add? My arms look plain so I'll put on a cuff, and maybe a choker to add interest at the neckline" ... something like that... and then you make sure everything you're adding plays together nicely. Unless you're doing an amazing job curating your purchases, it takes a big collection of accessories be able to wear a lot at once and have it come off as cohesive.

>>9470673
I agree, even though it is Listen Flavor, there is no menhera element. You cannot force fairy kei prints into menhera

>>9470664
Just use your natural hair if its a decent cut/length and isn't some clashing color. This is supposed to be a wearable fashion

>>9470455
Didn't read the whole thread so sorry if I'm double posting something.

Cherrycheezy just did their summer release and it was awesome, but I think everything's sold out.

Uchuu Bun, Puvithel, and Jelly Ultra have menhera pins coming out.

Mori Galaxy had a couple of cute sweatshirts out. Bitterbat has some new clothing on their redbubble, and new charms in their shop.

>>9470257
Thats not true, they never reblogged my art. :(

>>9471526
What doesn't show up obviously can't get reblogged and if it doesn't got the medical/sickness theme it won't get reblogged either.

>>9470931
And LF is prepearing the first part of the fall/winter collection which, like all colelctions, start with spoopy stuff.

>>9471555

>>9470616
I think I see what you're going for, pastels can totally work in menhera but you have to balance them a bit more.

I think you should get rid of the bow, syringe necklace and the eyepatch. I also think you should get a fitting platform. They don't need to be super tall but the height will even out your body when wearing an oversized print.

Your top is LF, right? They have other prints that are better for memhera. Dreamybows carries some of their older things I believe.

>>9470616
The top is obviously not menhera but I don't get why people are hating on the syringe necklace I think it's super cute. The bow seems too top heavy and the eyepatch could work if the top has one kind of broken heart theme otherwise the hearts seem kinda out of place.

>>9471526
They may not have been able to find your art. It's mostly stuff of twitter or tumblr that will be reblogged. It's also true that it needs to be medical/sickness, not simply gore. It also depends on what you are drawing. I'm not implying you might be drawing really graphic things, but some really graphic stuff can't get reblogged from my understanding. There's shirts even that don't get reblogged if the content is too morbid/graphic.

If your art contains really graphic depictions of self-mutilation for example, they may can't reblog it for good reason. It also may not be cute. Cute is a very loose term, but some stuff is more dark art then cute art.

If your art contains really graphic depictions of self-mutilation for example, they may can't reblog it for good reason. It also may not be cute. Cute is a very loose term, but some stuff is more dark art then cute art.

Thanks for the concrit guys! I know its not a great outfit but this will defiantly help me for finding what will fit right. I'll take all of your comments into consideration and thanks again. I really needed some help and guidance

>>9470673
The top says "Lunatic" on, so I suppose that's the "tie in"

>>9471553
>>9471856
It was a cutesy nurse with a syringe, tagged as menhera on tumblr.

>>9472960
Did you check if it was liked by fym then? Because as mentioned, image posts as well as texts get deleted after 12 hours, of course it won't say it was reblogged anymore after that.

Also, Tumblr only uses the first 5 tags but not 6-x to prevent tag spam, those won't show up in tags.

This is a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone knew where I could buy this hoodie-dress. It's from a brand named Funkyfruit and I'm looking online but the closest thing I can find from them is a longsleeve with a similar front print. Sorry if this isn't the right thread for this.

>>9473801
They're on Rakuten, therefore you do not need an SS
http://www.rakuten.ne.jp/gold/funky-fruit/

>>9473808
Thank you, but I was having trouble finding that specific hoodie-dress. The long sleeve I mentioned is here http://item.rakuten.co.jp/funky-fruit/pm-012-cs/ but I figure the one I'm looking for is from a past season. I've checked Y!J but wasn't sure where else to look.

>>9473880
Considering that the photo is from last year...they had a "final clearance" sale at the beginning of this year to make space for the 2017 collections.

>>9473941
Ah hell I didn't realize they had a clearance sale. Thanks for your help anyway.

>>9471856
>It also may not be cute.
That means >>9469876 should have never been reblogged though

>>9474159
That's kind of busukawaii tho+medical.

>>9474218
That's not busu kawaii because there's nothing cute about it, it's literally just some guys fetish art. Stop

>>9474224
You were the one that started with it again, not me.

Seventy-Three (taobao) did restock some of their older prints as well as some new eroguro ones, all up to XL.

>>9474228
Not the same person.

>>9463846
Does anyone know anywhere to get good bondage collars that are decent or good quality. I'll shell out cash if I can get a really good one preferably in black or pink

>>9474397
I like creepyyeha's but they are expensive

>>9474397
I second creepyyeha's stuff, I bought my first piece (choker in the picture) from her 3 years ago and it's still perfect. She has a lot of new stuff now and great customer service/craftsmanship.

The spanish jfashion store Madame Chocolat got the ACDC Rag x Ichigo Rinahamu gurokawa collab in stock.
http://www.madamechocolat-shop.com/en/index.php?controller=new-products

>>9474397
I'm gonna risk sounding like a shill to tell you that CreepyYeha's real leather goods are worth every penny

>>9474945
>>9474732
>>9474768
seems like i'll take a look through her stuff.
are all of her items real leather?

>>9474954
Yeah, real leather! I have a harness I bought from her 4 years ago, and it's great

>>9474954
The vinyl/clear stuff isn't obviously, and you can request fake leather but let's face it, nothing compares to the durability of real leather. Her stuff is custom made too so you can give her your measurements and shit

I really wanted to buy a pair of thigh highs from CC, I sent her an etsy message and she said that there will be no new thigh high designs a long time and no restocks planned for the future, should I maybe buy a pair of tights to turn into thigh highs or is that a bad idea?

Im >>9468547 and my friends birthday is a month away, so I wouldn't want to buy the tights now and then suddenly see some somewhere else later

>>9475182
That's a bad idea, suck it up and use a shopping service

>>9475236
Doesn't even need a shopping servic, all related jp brands with tigh highs ship international, only Zettairyoiki doesn't.

Guess what will get posters and postcards now too due to the popularity.

Looking at the Fancy Hospital hoodie, something similar should be easy DIY.

LF had the shooting for the upcoming June collab today and Yu posted an sneakpeak image of the styling set, seems like we get a holographic skirt or something.

Village/Vanguard got still quite the Shojo Kenjiyoku stock in Ikebukuro.

Anyone know where to get this hairclip?

>>9477934
Looks like low-quality handmade

Idol finally found a new manufacturer so everything should be back to normal soon.

>>9471555
>>9471557
Seems like Yu can't wait with releases, we already get some pieces, that were originally for fall, this week.

>>9478110
The new design is too cute

Hey anons, so I was wondering, what do you guys think about adding a cultural twist to Menhera/Gurokawa so that it better reflects issues relevant to your home country/ something more personal? This could mean still staying in-keeping with aesthetics that keep it looking cohesive and relevant, but with a national type relevance.

>>9479642
It doesn't sound like a terrible idea if you do it well, but I'd keep it subtle if it's a touchy issue you want to incorporate into your outfit.

>>9479642
Terrible idea unless it's China-kei because those motifs are sleeping their way into menhera

>>9479779
I don't think you understood what that anon meant.

>>9479222
The skirt is confirmed for a suspender one.

>>9479890
Suspender skirts are so cute so I'm excited but they never fit me right... Sucks to be a tall gaijin I guess

>>9479642
I think it could be done in a cute/cool way! What national issues were you thinking that are relevant to your country?

The only ones I can think of that I feel would be distasteful would be nazis or terrorist bombings t b h. Too edgy and offensive to most


It wouldnt be relevant for me in my country but a cool one could be incorporating the suicide forest if you were from Japan

We get another Listen Flavor x Menhera-chan collab.

>>9480773

>>9480779
Release date will be announced in june.

>>9479642
I was kind of thinking about this yesterday. THe idol shop released a top which mentions "May sickness" which is a Japanese thing where people lose their motivation after the start of the school /working year as schools start new years in April in Japan. Other countries would have different months for this(most likely September or October) but it's still not really a thing here but it made me think.

>>9479642
It'd work. I'd maybe add an explanation depending on what themes and motifs you drawn into your art and designs for clarity. However, most motifs and themes, even from a cultural standpoint outside Japan, should be fairly self explanatory to most.

I personally think it's an excellent idea. Negativity takes many forms, and it is interesting to see new things.

How much of a bad idea would it be to buy a pair of Listen Flavor's otks if you're tall?

>>9482069
Depends on how tall, if you don't have tick legs it should be no issue.

>>9482078
Only 5'6". And my thighs are admittedly kind of thick but my calves are normal so that shouldn't really affect otks I don't think.

>>9482082
It'll affect them, don't kid yourself

>>9482082
I'm 5'6" and they fit me fine

Dreamy Bows's new LF stock went online, most will be avaiable after MCM.

The mini punk collecton is out, one pastel print (was made for fall originally) got included as there was some factory leak and it was found getting sold elsewhere before even being released.

Almost forgot about http://project-ck.com/ because his tees were only avaiable at cons few years ago, seems like he collabs with quite a few stores these days for tees and phone covers.

>>9484670
Generic Ramones style print. Classic.
>>9484772
I'll likely pick something up from this artist.

Mi-te-yo got a final restock before the store closes forever in favor of Hakuchum.
https://mi-te-yo.booth.pm/

Anyone know where to find menhera OTKs that fit chubby/thick thighs or have a decent stretch to them? I'm a UK 12-14, not super huge but I don't want to spend £30 on a pair of thigh highs that won't go past my knees

>>9486068
I don't know about CC's because I haven't tried them yet, but the LF ones definitely wouldn't. I'm sure you weren't planning to get ones in Asian sizes anyway, but in case you get tempted - for reference, I'm about a UK 8 and they're still tight on me.

CC has a tag for photos with customers - some of them might be your size so it may be worth looking through the pictures?

>>9486068
I'm the same size and I own a pair of CC thigh highs. They fit fine but they look better as OTK than thigh highs because the top band makes my thighs buldge if I wear them too high.

>>9474397
I just saw this seller on fymenhera. I'd completely forgotten about their store. They make good quality leather goods with a huge selection.
>https://www.etsy.com/shop/necroleather

Yay or Nay?

>>9486582
I like the worms. Is it for a pin? The concept is cool. Likely not intentional, but I can see some parallel to Omocat's style. Take my critique with a grain of salt, but you may want to even up that chin a tad bit before you get that printed on something.

>>9486593
Yea, I'm hoping to make pins in the future.
and thank you for the chin advice!

>>9486582
I like it.

>>9486582
Looks great, I'm a sucker for male prints. Like the another anon said the concept is unique. Would you be doing more menhera friendly things too?

>>9486582
Nah. Feels too unpolished. I think you need to improve your art first

>>9487007
Thank you! I love male prints too and there just seems to be not enough of them. I 100% want to make more menhera friendly things in the future!
>>9487060
Yeah, I definitely understand on it being a bit unpolished. Thank you for the feeeback!

>>9486582
Really nice! I hope to see more of this!

Thoughts?

>>9487754
I do not like tights so it does not bother me. I understand though entirely, especially given issues with people's tights ripping. That's no good for how much they cost the customer.

>>9487754
It really sucks considering I think the shibari and some other designs look much better as tights, but there's always Japanese brands. Can't force her to do something she doesn't like, especially if the quality is going to be questionable for most of her audience.

>about to raid CC's redbubble
>no postcard prints
>only wanted prints
Standard shipping from etsy for something as small as a badge is over twice the price of a single print for me so I was really hoping the redbubble would be a beacon of hope.

CC is restocking some thigh highs and putting up new shirts designs on the 26th! I asked her a week ago or so if she was restocking thigh highs and she said not for a long time, so this is a pleasant surprise! Maybe its due to her no longer selling tights?

>>9488856
Maybe. She might have been implying there won't be any huge restocks for awhile. After all, the last thigh high restock was huge. I think the next collection will be for fall although I could be wrong.

>>9487754
I always hated the look of tights in menhera so it doesn't bother me, thigh highs are so much better

>>9487754
At first I didn't understand why she was going to stop selling them until i bought a few with her latest release and every single one has ripped. It makes me so sad

If I made glittery blood spattered snapbacks that said GURO or YANDERE on them in those big plastic block letters would you guys wanna buy them? I wouldn't mass produce them, just place a small group order of the base hat and then decorate it, maybe sew on some patches and pins as well.

>>9489481
No.

>>9489489
Seconded. Even if snapbacks made an ounce of sense in this fashion (they really don't), they're still fugly.

>>9489529
Not the same anon but snapbacks are pretty common tho? More so as a lot of girls use them to prevent a sunstroke in summer.

lf will release another birthday collection like last year

>>9489481
I don't know if they'd go well with menhera, but I think they'd sell well with the general weeb crowd

>>9489698
Good point. I guess they do crop up sometimes. It's mostly just a personal bias, to be completely honest. Although, I think they're fine if they have a purpose and are kept pretty simple, but if it's a snapback that is so loud it would become a focal point like anon was proposing, with shit like 'YANDERE' spelled out with plastic letters and blood splatters and whatever the fuck else, it would stand out way too much for something that doesn't really have the correct motifs.

Just my opinion of course, feel free to disagree. Maybe some people could pull it off, I dunno. I won't be trying it any time soon is all I'm saying.

>>9489433
I understand that reason but I feel her other two reasons she listed were kind of... lame or unprofessional. I know I'm going to get attacked by the CC white knights but thats just my opinion

>doesnt like designing tights
I dont really see how they are that much different than designing OTKs. You can leave the top area plain if you even wanted since it gets covered with a skirt/dress/shorts/etc

>has to jack up the price
fatties dont care. They will pay if they have the option because they have limited options already.

What bothered me the most was the "im turning off the comments since I know people will be disappointed." Hmmm well they are your customers, maybe you should value their opinions and dissatisfaction a little more. It would be like working a retail job and have a customer come up to you with a complaint (not even in a rude manner), and just like "lol no" and walking away.

>>9489734
Exactly.

>>9489754
>I dont really see how they are that much different than designing OTKs. You can leave the top area plain if you even wanted since it gets covered with a skirt/dress/shorts/etc
It is quite different but that's because digitalartwear is shit when it comes to tights.

>>9489754
>fatties dont care. They will pay if they have the option because they have limited options already.
They don't fit fatties tho, they even rip at normal sized people quite easy.

>>9489771
Digitalartwear's tights are used by Kawaii Goods too, you know, the ones famous for running color.

>>9489698
That's a baseball cap, not a snapback. Imo they still shouldn't be worn with menhera, it's too sporty

>>9489481
That's really cringy and tacky. You might have some luck selling to tumblrina gendershits though, they love that shit

>>9489754
CC here. I'm sorry I really do feel bad but I cannot please everyone. Some people will always be unhappy with how anybody chooses anything. So I understand your response completely. I'm doing what I want to do this time. I do a lot of stuff based on customer feedback. But the tights are just really not my thing and I believe that to be okay. This is a great opportunity for other artists and designers to come in and cover that market. I know there's some great ones out there!

shiuriri illustrated for a gurokawa yukata.

>>9489936
fundraiser where funders get it cheaper is https://camp-fire.jp/projects/view/28609

>>9489698
That's a dad hat (which I also love don't get me wrong). I am the original anon and honestly it was a late night fever dream that I thought might look cool with some more westernized masculine coordinates. How would you guys feel about some beanies instead? They'd end up being cheaper and probably more versatile.

>>9490196
No. Just give up with your shitty tastes and go back to the Tumblr gender hell where you came from

>>9490196
You very clearly don't understand menhera at all, lurk more and come back when you understand and learn that rules exist for a reason and you can't splatter blood on random shit and call it menhera, newfag

>>9489698
I mean... I can only speak for myself, but I've never worn one in my life.

>>9490196
My first thought was a definite no, but maybe they'd work for a winter coord in subtle designs? I don't think I've ever seen a winter coord so it's hard to say either way.

>>9490196
Just remember when you design something meant as an accent piece that subtle can sometimes be better.

>>9490196
Honestly not sure why you're getting such nasty responses, I've seen caps plenty in coord pictures. I was actually looking at designing some hats myself as I have issues with sunlight but I think making any hat stand out too much ends up just taking away from the core of your outfit which in menhera is always the top(followed by socks/tights if they're decorative).

>>9490262
I admit I don't like the sound of the hat although I could see a market for that sort of product. The responses are outright nasty though. One can say they dislike an idea without being mean about it. I just think a more subtle design would be best. The only hat of that type featured in a photo features a very small heart with a medical cross.

Perhaps either use the Japanese character for "yandere" or "guro" on it's own embroidered on the hat, or the glittery blood on it's own. Maybe not... glittery blood and 'yandere' or 'guro' in huge letters in impact font across the whole of the bill.

>>9490227
I was talking about the jp Menhera comm, not girls in general obviously.

>>9490338
I meant as someone who wears the fashion who does not live in Japan. I don't see them too commonly on other people either. I've seen maybe one or two girls wearing them outside of Japan. Unless they are marketing to Japan, I assume they are asking if it would fly elsewhere.

Still, if they want to make it, they should make it.

>>9490262
Eh, I've been on /cgl/ long enough to where nasty responses don't bother me too much. I just the idea of menhera style prints with westernized coordinates as I don't have the thin no-titty body type I see with the Japanese style coords. I'm still expanding my wardrobe.

>>9491589
>I don't have the thin no-titty body type I see with the Japanese style coords.

>>9490196
I like the idea of beanies they look cute with oversized sweaters/shirts.

>>9491600
man you guys are really out for blood today

>>9491612
When is body type relevant to fucking hats? Not to mention Menhera is the least thin focused j-fash so far. Most of the girls posting and even the "official" menhera girls are noticeably thicker.

>>9491617

>>9491619
and already in thread >>9464466
>>9465469
>>9479979

>>9491624
Gurokawa too

>>9491627
Nowhere near hamplanet tier, but way thicker than what's usually allowed to be popular.

>>9491589
If you really want western styled coords western goth seems the way to go. This and >>9491619 >>9491628 wouldn't really register as j-fashion on white models.

>>9491632
Already on it. I've been into Western goth for a long while, but I never thought about mixing it in with menhera. Also thinking punk style would look cool with menhera prints.

>>9491589
It's kind of hard to determine who does and doesn't have titties when it's nothing except oversize apparel. I have titties, and I wear the fashion. Titties shouldn't stop you. I get confused when I hear the word "westernized"... you mean wearing pants with an outfit?

>>9491632
>wouldn't really register as j-fashion on white models.
Most casual jfashion isn't very japanese looking to begin with, it's usually only the makeup style that makes a difference.

>>9491697
Pants or western style skirts, as well as other western pieces. Again I think a punk coordinate with menhera pieces would look really cool. Not really a menhera coordinate, just a menhera theme.

>>9491710
What is even western style skirts because pretty much every kind of skirt has been worn in Menhera in jp, minus tight ones because they don't fit.

>>9491710
>Again I think a punk coordinate with menhera pieces would look really cool.
...isn't that what LF does all the time tho?

>>9491721

>>9491727

>>9491710
You don't have to wear pleated skirts if you don't want to. I wear pleated skirts, but I also love the uniforms that some Catholic schools still utilize. So I like the whole long sleeve sweater plus pleated skirt look. I wear them a little longer then usual. Knee-length.

You can make your outfits however you want. I haven't seen too many pants, but you could make it work.

>>9491721
I'm talkin' real street trashy. Leather vests patched out, industrial style boots, short denim shorts and ripped fishnets, teased up hair...to the point where you couldn't call it menhera. Love those skirts btw.

>>9491779
'Street trashy' is a much more specific term that gives a better idea of what you are going for. I don't see too many patches with that theme, but I see plenty of pins. The patches might be easy to D.I.Y. if you got a little bit of creative talent. I feel that would work. Leave the jacket open with a huge art print shirt underneath. Some accessories in the teased hair.

Bondage accessories would work really well tied into that kind of look.

Does anyone know if Fuua is still selling these otks? Even a print or something would satisfy me. I really have a mighty need, this is my favorite piece that the Edge Queen has ever done.

>>9493123
She doesn't make them in the first place.

>>9493279
And the shop that did died.

>>9493281
>>9493279

>>9489786
No they arent. KG uses artsmoo.

Heychickadee and HTT use digitalartwear

I love the pill pins!

>>9493491
Who the hell are you replying to?

>>9493450
Woe be to anon.

What does everyone think of CCs new shirts? Thinking about getting this one since I already have shibari tights to match.

>>9495373
I wish it wasn't black and was more oveesized. I'm personally not a fan of the shibari theme in menhera so I don't have much to say about the art itself

>>9495373
Tights and collars are one thing but where do you even wear something like this outside of bdsm meets or whatever they do? I get a lot of sexual comments just from a tiny hint of it on prints and I'm basically dick repellent.

>>9495377
>>9495399
She released like three or four others, all pinks and purples. As for the shibari theme eh, it doesn't bother me. I'm used to getting harassed in lolita and trad goth.

>>9495373
Not a fan. The print looks subtly off-centre and asymmetrical in an unappealing way.

>>9495399
>I get a lot of sexual comments just from a tiny hint of it on prints and I'm basically dick repellent.
You probably just live at a shit place then because you can even bondage stuff in the teen section of H&M these days, it's normie as fuck since Shades of Grey.

A new LF collection will be out next week, I guess it's the 11th anniversary one.

>>9495491
I mean I love gingham and think it's adorable for summer but also think that gingham wouldn't look right at all in menhera

>>9495401
That's different from sexual harrassment though. Idgaf if some random hates my outfit, I do care when they follow me for two blocks while asking what highschool I go to as middle aged man. All while trying to get grabby.

>>9495479
Maybe in Cali or a liberal college campus, standards are weird here anyway though. You see busty women having nip slips constantly and no one gives a shit. God forbid someone goes braless or a child goes without a top in their own backyard though.

>>9495373
Ugh. I missed it. Decided it was best to wait until I get caught up. I loved the rabbit shirt best. I'm just going to keep saving and make a haul at some stores in June or early July.

>>9495538
That's when you yell at them and smack the shit out of their hand. A loud, "you can look, but you can't touch," usually halts even the most unsavory of characters.

Make sure you actually yell in anger. Sound mean.

>>9495654
>That's when you yell at them and smack the shit out of their hand.

And you get arrested for assault and not them and/or get seriously hurt because of it. Not all countries are America.

>>9495658
Well. They can arrest me if they want. Grabbing someone should also be assault then. If men can run after you for two blocks, grabbing you without the police involved, you should be able to smack their hand when it's inches away from your body.

What do you usually tell them? Do you just let them grab you and make terrible comments alongside inappropriate questions?

>>9495663
>They can arrest me if they want.

>>9495667
They're men from "certain cultures" I tell them all the usual things but it never does much. Honestly I'm really weak and small and can't shake or pull myself free even when I put my all into it. They're cowards at least and run away when any men not of their group starts walking towards us.

I just try to avoid being alone or getting anywhere near them, but the attitude is still there hence my question. I'm not a club person at all and don't go to concerts so I can't really work shirts like that in compared to more subtle socks. I've been wanting to buy some Japanese ones but I can't justify the price for pjs.

>>9495684
Didn't finish but you get the point. Getting arrested even for something stupid is a huge deal. In my line of work anyway

>>9495684
I'm more expressing my anger that you do not have the option to react in that way, that's terrible.

I don't know how cold it is where you live, but the other option is carry a backpack with you to store a jacket. When I'm out late at night, that's what I prefer to do. During the day, obviously there's more cars out so I have more power to react negatively.

Wear the jacket when you are walking place to place. You can store the jacket in your backpack when you don't need it. It's a bit to carry, but worth it in an unsafe area. I hate down for good reason, but I own a down jacket that was gifted. It's great to scrunch up and fit in a backpack. Otherwise, a lightweight plain color hoodie could be used.

>>9495479
>bondage stuff in the teen section of H&M
excuse me

Wow you guys sound insecure as fuck. Or what kind of shithole do you guys live in?

And I don't get people who dress in lolita/edgy sexual stuff with "social anxiety" that expect no attention when they're out in weird clothes. Wtf.

Is it just me or is she #2edgydesu, even for J-fashion standards in Japan? Don't get me wrong, I love her so much. But I'm sure her taboo actions garner at least some negativity, right?

>>9496079
You maybe should learn more about jfashion and come back again as you sound new, Kuua is pretty tame in comparison with others. Nothing she does is taboo at all, this ain't the middle east.

>>9496079
okay conservative christian-chan

>>9496079
>taboo actions
???
I hope you don't mean her having a gf
I'd kill to have a gf to wear really cute clothes with

>>9496079
>>9496590
excuse me being a newfriend, but who is this?

>>9496689
She's a Japanese artist, her name is Kuua

>>9496079

>taboo actions
What? Lol all she shows us via social media is that she makes art, goes out clubbing/hanging with her friends and is doing model jobs.

I wouldn't even know what could fall under taboo in times of homosexual and transgender politicans in Japan, there is even own exhibitions centered around guro art in popular museums.

And then there is also Goredeck (pic related) which is a popular brand with jp skaters.

I bought something from idol.theshop.jp and already the foil is peeling off. I think I've washed it once at the most, and I've only worn it a few times. This is really disappointing since the shirt was kind of expensive. In any case, what should I do to reapply the foil? I don't think a glue stick would work. I'm very challenged at taking care of clothes.

>>9497836
I don't know that you can. It's a holographic shirt vinyl decal if that helps you find information. It's set with a heat press. You let it air dry and it is still peeling? I'm very sorry to hear that. I have not had that problem thus far.

Did you really miss the part where they state that all their products are spot cleaning only?

aka no strong movements which a washing machine does

I didn't realize that. If so, then I guess it's my fault. But I can't remember for sure what I did. I think I might not have washed it at all.

That sucks. Thanks for letting me know.

Seems like it is another mini collection of two outfits.

If it's a vinyl decal applied with heat, could I try to iron it again? Would that do anything?

That escalated quickly, it's already out.

I love this print but can already tell that that cut would look awful on me

>>9498178
That sometimes works, depending on what it's made of. Use another t shirt between the decal and the iron.

Lollipop guro holders?

>>9499928
Ok, I'm going to try that. And fabric glue.
