Hideous

>>9475257
Why are you in this thread again?

Requesting good Mahou-kei coords as well please!

>>9475265
For cute fairy-kei outfits

>>9475267
I'm so out of the loop on things, I didn't even know mahou kei was a style

>>9475271
You sure are new if you consider the most common jp coord variant featuring Milklim, Listen Flavor and Magical "hideous".

>>9475304
Because it that was made up by Starlight Deco Dream's owner who is a famous scammer in the fairy kei comm.

>>9475318
Need more details on this. I always though mahou kei was an actual thing, or like a kind of substyle or sister style to fairy kei. It's difficult to search for images of strictly mahou kei coords because i get a lot of other fairy kei and yume kawaii images intermixed. I'm curious to see coords that are very obviously mahou kei.

This image was posted in the last thread, and I was wondering where I can find these exact socks? I saw some on amazon but they never have this color in stock.

>>9475355
It was made up by Kyandi for selling her ripoffs of other artist's magical girl works at mahoukei.com, you can find more on her drama in the archives. They don't use the term for magical girl inspired styles in Japan but yumekawaii as seen in the OP article.

>>9475318
Ah, so is it a tumblr thing? I try to avoid tumblr fairy-kei unless it's fairy tips

>>9475446
>so is it a tumblr thing?
Pretty much. If you like actual magical girl inspired fashion, you maybe should check out the brand http://www.merrygoroundxxx.com/

Which brand sales is everyone waiting for?

I bought BTSSB's Usakumya Pochette on a whim. I didn't expect it to be so cute in person. I couldn't resist. Does anyone have any outfit snaps using the bag (or any Usakumya bag)? I was only able to find one, and it wasn't very cute. Is the bag workable for fairy kei or did I let my impulse shopping get the best of me? Pic related is the bag.

>>9475355
Mahou kei is the only branch of yumekawaii I mainline. I put all my inspo on pinterest - if you type mahou kei and click "boards" there are quite a few

>>9475314
Or maybe anon just doesn't have such shit taste?

>>9477535
If you consider fairy kei, how it is actually supposed to look and not Tumblr's wrong interpretation, shit taste then why are you here?

>>9477219
I think I have seen it worn with fk a couple of times but can't find the pictures anymore, should work fine. Doesn't make much different than those Pote Usa Loppy backpacks which are popular.

>Have face/body suitable for sexy styles but not at all for cute styles
>Fall in love with fairy kei anyway
>Think I can't wear this because I'll look stupid
>All of those "everyone can be kawaii!" videos give me hope
>Buy a bunch of stuff
>Try it on
>I look ridiculous

I'm so sad. I'm just going to live vicariously through others.

Galaxxxy is going to re-release some tees in US sizes for their intl store.

>>9475318
Wait, she is??? What did she do? I was about to buy a ton of stuff from her D:

>>9479350
You have to wear x large shirts to cover your figure anon.

>>9479350
would like to see a sexy pastel version.
not meaning big boobs and all
but very strong makeup, almost punk-ish
like telling fuck-off-im-cute to the world.

>>9480679
Just look at the archives, all her designs are replicas.

How do you gulls feel about the new Kera's big feature of the little girl style as fairy kei successor?

>>9480814

>>9480814
It's ugly. Do not want.

>>9480816

>>9480820

>>9480822

>>9480825

>>9480827
And the style is named Jojifuku.

>>9480814
as a lolita lurking this thread, my immediate reaction was "oh no, more ageplay bait for normies" but cgl mentality aside, this is pretty fucking cute.

>>9480830
It's kinda like some fairy kei brand's art.

>>9480840
woah, thats pretty cute. i actually saved >>9476487 about three seconds after i saw it, the art is all SUPER cute. if i were to try to find more stuff like this, should i just search the brand's website?

>>9480844
Best is to follow the artist's twitter https://twitter.com/m_fancys

>>9480829
Is this the "she's a woman but dressed like a girl" thing I've seen all over JP twitter. Unfortunately this set was also used for abdl stuff. It was weird

>>9481179
Nope.
What you are refering to is Otonajyojifuku aka "大人なのに女児服着てる" and that's name of a studio that also does porn.

>>9481179
You mean the Otonajyojifuku photo studio and yes, the photos for Kera were also done in there.

>>9475355
I assume, like many things, it's a style if you want to be a style. If you dress like a magical girl, it's arguably "mahou".

>>9480814
I can see why it's gaining popularity. I see stuff in the little girl's section all the time that looks cute. Cute enough that I'd like buy it. However, wearing little girl's stuff normally means sky high skirts and tighter clothing so I'm not all for it based on personal preference.

I'd like to see more stuff in that sort of style sewn to fit adults.

>>9480679
Stole alot of designs from KumaCrafts also and is known for being pretty dodgy.

>>9481307
Considering all of KumaCrafts designs are just sailor moon replicas, I think thats a bad criticism. It's just accusing someone of ripping off bodyline.

Anyway, dumping some older fairy kei/decora inspo if anyones interested

Just funny how Kyandi's jewelry just "happend" to have the same mistakes as the Kuma ones but it is totally a coincidence she used the exact same combination of wrong color gemstones for some sailor moon broches.

Don't get me started on her "totally handmade" Dollar Tree stuff or when she ran away with people's money multiple times which is why she got kicked out of pretty much all comms.

>>/cgl/thread/7621174

>>9482062
Her stuff is trash. Even if it wasn't a ripoff, I spent $25 on a Sailor Moon ring from her and 2 of the gems fell out the day I wore it. I am not a rough person at all either.

>>9482147
Sorry, copycat not ripoff. My brain isn't working today.

>>9481812
I want that fuzzy cupcake

>>9482300

>>9482303

>>9482062
I just don't see what makes her different from every other scalper and jewelry maker out there. She was dramatic and not original, but I feel like most of the hate came from the fact that she was older and bigger.

Anyway back to spam

>>9482326
>I just don't see what makes her different from every other scalper and jewelry maker out there.
That was never the topic, the anon asked what happend and it was explained, end of the story.

>>9482326

>>9482331

>>9482333

May I request some coordinates with KOKOkim pieces?

>>9483877

>>9483883

>>9483877

WHY'D YOU HAVE TO DIE KOKOKIM

I think I found someone selling LF's factory stuff before release, I don't remember them releasing this and it was in the sneakpeaks for fall/winter.

>>9483975
Because she always seems to feel the need to hop from one fashion to another.

>>9482473
This looks so damn cozy.

The new Listen Flavor tee mini collection is out, includes one fairy cutsew next to all punk.

>>9484665

What styles do you guys prefer to wear or like better? The original Spank! style, Japanese fairy kei, Western fairy kei, or current? Is there even a Japanese fairy kei style, or was it purely a western interpretation of spank style?

>poorly made evolution picture to help illustrate the question

>>9484693
Fairy Kei was a term made up by Kera for the style of Spank!'s early customers who would wear pastel-neon fairy costume stuff, pic related.

>>9484723

>>9484723

>>9484726

>>9484729
It toned down after while together with Spank! and turned in whatever is considered the default fairy kei. It kind of always evolves just like lolita

>>9484693
Spank. Its cohesive and makes sense, western fairy kei nowadays aint even that.

>>9484751
>Spank!
>cohesive
Pick one.

>>9484693
Anything other than Western fariy kei. It almost always looks horrible because people treat it as a costume (wigs? really bitch?) instead of a fashion. There's also too much of a focus on being ~original~ instead of actually not looking like trash.

>>9481299
>I'd like to see more stuff in that sort of style sewn to fit adults.
The problem is that the most popular brand for it is Mezzo Piano, their prices love to be around 100 bucks even for the sizes for 1yos so I don't want to imagine how much adult sized goods would be.

>>9484790
wigs can be alright depending, the fact that people feel or have said they're essential is off putting.

Let's be real though a lot of westerners are shit terrible at styling their hair

>>9481739
>>9481738
I miss pinklyeverafter so much. they stopped selling stuff a week before my first paycheck. They were my absolute favorite indie brand.

>>9485553
Styling your hair for fairy isn't exactly needed either.

>>9480814
>>9480830
I liked >>9480814 and >>9480825 and wouldn't have minded >>9480827 and >>9480816 without the hat, but my gut reaction was ageplay bait too.

>>9485553
There is no excuse not to style one's hair. Exceptions for bad hair are made when one gets caught out in rainy weather.

>>9485779
Some people have to style their hair to even have it looking like that.

>>9485553
This so much! Since the Tumblr invasion I've seen so many bad dye/bleach jobs in fairy kei. Just wear a simple pastel wig and stop butchering your hair and scalp. Mio looked cute and not costumy with them.

>>9484693
I like all 4.

I just don't like the "fairy kei/decora has to be a (political) statement" mentality a lot of people have in the west these days. The coords from those people have to much thrown at them, except fashion.

>>9484693
I prefer Japanese takes fairy kei. Moco is a favorite of mine, her coords are always cute. In general I feel like it's not as OTT as when western fans do it. I personally think fairy kei looks cuter when a coord is more simple looking but still thought out well.

>>9487219
Japanese takes on fairy kei, whoops. Have another moco too I guess

The DreamyBows Kurebayashi collab...how many people are even there that would wear this? In general, collabs with Kurebayashi don't seem to sell well at all (the LF one with the rocket is still on clearance), just because she is popular doesn't mean that it is something that would sell.

>>9484693
I like current the best. I really hate the ott trash westerners mostly put out.

Does anyone know what happened to 90884's online shop? The link in this Twitter bio (Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/90884_jp?lang=ja)) doesn't work...

>>9496143
90884 doesn't exist anymore since last fall which is why the onlineshop got deleted.

>>9496215
And the only reason why Kurebayashi got active there again is as the Dreamy Bows collab involves re-releases of that stuff.

The new LF had an unexpected early release.

>>9498681

Could I request some summer fairy kei looks? Or just some short sleeve/non-ultra-bundled looks? I live in Texas and it is HOT. I can't be kawaii if I'm sweating like a gross creeper. Thank you in advance for the spoon-feed-y request.

>>9475238
Has anyone ever seen Pinkly Ever After's clothes secondhand? What are the best places to look to find things besides the three sweaters that always come up?

>>9499279
Circlly, you will find some there every other month.

>>9498713

>>9499324

>>9499316
Thanks anon, I had an age crisis for a bit and sold all my things. I haven't even looked through these threads for over a year.

>>9499327

>>9499355

>>9499324
>>9499327
Thank you anon!! These are cute. I needed to see if a simpler/more-streamlined look could be pulled off well and these are really lovely.

>>9498681

People didn't seem to mind last time I posted this artist so...
Michirutoy updated her etsy today
www.etsy.com/shop/Michirutoy

>>9488394
Oh well.

I stopped looking into Fairy kei way back in like 2012 and now just starting to wonder what happened to it. Could someone fill a few gaps :

> What happened to Tavuchi and Spank! ?
>Fairy kei use to have a 80s 90s twist has that disapeared from the term fairy kei today?
> What would you consider the evolution of fairy kei ? Decora to Spank! to Fairy Kei to now Yumekawaii?

>>9510029
Read the thread, we already had this.
Spank! labels themself Yumekawaii these days and that is just an aesthetic term because people got tired that people started to make up a shitton of substyles like Mahou Kei, Uchuu Kei, Dark Fairy Kei, Pastel Decora, etc.

For everything else have a look in the new online Kera.
>>9480814

Dreamland's new collection is so cute, too bad they have no onlineshop.

Some LF fall/winter sneakpeak.

Swimmer is shutting down, RIP.

>>9512198
holy hell this is really sad

>>9513004
People are raiding their stores since the announcement.

Their reason for closing is pretty dumb anyways, "the manufacturing costs are becoming too high" which could have been prevented with manufacturing more aka starting to offer overseas shipping but no, rather die than having to deal that.

>>9513496
Yeah I noticed everything online is sold out. I really wish they wouldn't close just for that reason.

does anyone know whatever happened to Vani from 6% ? she just stopped appearing in photos all of a sudden I think Yuka might be gone too?

>>9513589
AHH WILL THEY RESTOCK!!!???

>>9514371
They still have new collections being released this year so, obviously.
>>9514364
She grew out of it, not uncommon as most workers in Harajuku stores are just students that work there part-time, you can't live from what you earn there.

>>9514364
Yuka quit recently, she works at the monster cafe now.

>>9514364
Yuka works at Kawaii Monster Cafe.

>>9514418
but what about vani ? she doesnt do monster cafe she disapeared before that

>>9514436
See >>9514415

does 90884 have an online shop? I tried the link haruka kurebayashi had on one of her instagram posts but I got an error page.

>>9488394
>>9506828
I actually desperately want this collab to come out online...

>>9514532
It doesn't because her brand closed last summer because it was a fail due to being ONLY one size for people 150cm and less, Dreamybows is only getting the leftovers.

>>9514533
It will but the pieces are all about 8000-17000yen, Listen Flavor had the same collab before.

Are there any cute, quality, comfy fairy-kei or fairy-keiable shoes? I've always been picky about the quality of shoes in general, and while I've bought through Taobao before one of the things I've always been afraid of purchasing are shoes. I live in the US, and I don't even like the fast fashion shoes you buy in the mall, and anything flat is completely off limits since they hurt my foot so much. I don't even mind plain, as the shoes I usually wear with the fashion are white mary janes.

>>9517442
Most people just use
http://www.reebok.com/us/customize
or Antaina.

TOM got the new Milklim lucky packs.

>>9517462
Ah, those are cute, and comfortable looking. Thank you!

Why is the Facebook group like 90% terrible coords? Where do you all usually post your outfits? I'm tired of seeing ugly ass moomoos and plain tshirts.

>>9517474
What's the point of buying through TOM if you can buy the lucky packs straight from Milklim's website? Do you get more expensive items that way?

>>9520746
>if you can buy the lucky packs straight from Milklim's website
You can't, that's the point.

>>9517891
Instagram/tumblr?

>>9517462
You can get custom hi-tops through NikeID too:
http://store.nike.com/gb/en_gb/product/air-force-1-mid-shoe-id/?piid=43691&pbid=510778568

>>9479242
I love this, it's so cute but the tangled mess wig making me die a little inside...Someone have a heart and take a wig brush and scissors to it...

>>9520871
What do you mean you can't buy the packs straight from milklim's website?

Right now Milklim restocked their 5000 yen lucky packs again. You need a shopping service to get one, but I don't see the point of getting a TOM pack over one of Milklim's own packs.

Are there any good begginer resources for decora? I've tried to look but no dice

>>9475267
I usually dont like brown/tanned, but this is very cute!

>>9528852
...the "weekly packs" are not lucky packs but damaged goods, just saying.

>>9528852
Using an SS isn't buying straight from someone, are new or just you retarded?

>>9529024
Calm down. Guess I misused a word? Using a shopping service isn't a big deal personally

>>9529022
Really? That would make sense

LF got a Fancy Surprise! batch again.

>>9529020
Nice beito.

Sad times in which Milklim steals art.

>>9530165
Not surprising as all their designs since the staff change were shit, they are getting desperate.

Punyus is having a sale on some stuff
https://store.punyus.jp/
They have stuff that would work with pastel fashion. They also have plus-sizes and larger sized shoes (up to 26.5)

>>9475367
try aliexpress!

>>9480814
>>9480816
>>9480825
>>9480829
i've been waiting for a style like this for so fucking long omfg

>>9481777
where to find a rainbow tutu like this?!

>>9531054
That specific tutu is from the defunct Pinkly Ever After. Try looking secondhand?

>>9512198
KILLS MYSELF... I WANTED A CLOCK FROM THERE SO BAD why did i fucking wait Kms kms kms FUCK

Where do I find fairy kei (mainly galaxxxy) second hand?

>>9531054
>>9531149
Or get a children's one in teen sizing.

>>9530165
>>9530176
And the next stolen art, the watermelon print is from Shiroi.

>>9531486

>>9530165
Seems like they got it from china and didn't know it was stolen, says a lot about their quality control though.

LF anniversary tees are out.

>>9535068
To be exact, people found out all was from Taobao from stoles that steal ar, they degraded to a reseller under their new manager Atorie.

>>9535091
Sorry for newb question

Can you purchase an in-stock item as well as a preorder item from LF in the same order?

>>9535235
Yes.

>>9531342
Calm down, you have until December.

>>9512198
I guess this is a sign I should make a big ass haul

>>9529087
>>9498682
>>9498681
>>9484665
I love LF's designs but holy shit, they make me want to erase bondage collars out of existence. Anyone else feeling 2000% done with this accessory or am I just a nasty kink shaming prude UwU?

>>9535747
I think they're cute but I don't like how they're pretty much the only necklace being featured. I'd also feel uncomfortable wearing one out because I have no interest in being harassed.

>>9535761
>they're pretty much the only necklace being featured
That's because they are their own product so of course they would feature those.

>>9535808
Besides that they only have lock necklaces besides chokers and those don't fit pastels. They made matching necklaces to their prints before but they weren't popular so they stopped doing them.

Again a Listen Flavor feature in AkiCul.

>>9537586
Are blocky hime cuts out of style now? I just got my hair cut into one but it seems like the popular style right now is soft bangs with wispy side pieces

>>9480840
>>9499355
I need this shirt. I had no idea they did a collaboration OMG. It looks like it was only sold at a special event back in May though. Any leads anyone? T_____T

>pic tangentially related

>>9537903
You could search Japanese secondhand sites for Fancy Suprise but other than that good luck

>>9537903
You didn't search well then as it is avaiable in otona's ttrinity (aka japan's redbubble).
https://www.ttrinity.jp/shop/otonananonijyoj/

>>9537985
That means they stole the design though, right?

>>9538241
Wtf are you talking about, Fancy Surprise even posted the link herself on her Twitter.

>>9538250
Said ttrinity on all theshirts in the first place.

>>9538250
Said ttrinity on all the care tags in the first place.

>>9538272

>>9537626
Eh, they never have been popular outside of old-school lolita, I haven't seen that kind of hair in over a decade and what you are refering to is named shokkaku hair.

Miracle Com got their jackets avaiable online now.
https://miraclecom.thebase.in/

>>9537985
I didn't realize trrinity was a thing. I mostly do lolita fashion, and I'm really bad at translating the moon runes, so other than brand sites and auction sites, I'm not really familiar with much, which is why I had no idea where to look.

I thank you immensely for the link.

New To Alice berets.

This is hideous compared to the original omg

>>9537586
>new Menhera-chan collab
>includes a big tee
I'm so happy, there's finally a menhera-chan piece I can wear with my giant titties.

>>9543798
The big tee appears to be the same width as the hoodie from the last collection when I held the two up to one another. You can likely do LF's oversize hoodies if you haven't tried them yet.

>>9542456
Sweet of the Grandma to knit it, gross that people wear replicas instead of buying the real thing. There's one on Depop right now.

>>9544233
I don't see how this handmade is more gross than secondhand.

Nobody profited financially from this replica. And now someone else has the change to buy it from Depop.

>>9543949
I actually got one of their DR sweaters for my first LF piece. I thought about getting the sweater from the last collab, but I'd like to alternate between sweaters and tees so I have things to wear for all seasons. The hard part is gonna be deciding if I want the menhera-chan tee or the pompompurin one first

>>9544233
If my grandmother knitted me a sweater, I wouldn't even want the real thing after that.

>>9545634
Huh, I dunno'. The Pompompurin one is pretty cute.

>>9538250
relax fool i'm just dumb!

>>9481741
I love her skirt and shoes. I gotta ask, where can I find them?
