Larme, is it dead? (At least in the West)

[Anonymous No.10258238]

It seems that the "Don't cry Baby~ Larme-kei worldwide" FB is dead. I don't see Larme pop up on here anymore. What does everyone think?

Before it's mentioned, I understand Larme is a magazine and not a sub group. The general term is probably "sweet girly style" from the annoying NHK video.

I would love to see a comeback. Feel free to post inspo.

[Anonymous No.10258241]

It's dead because brands are no longer pushing out what western trendhoppers think is Larme aka that black&dusty pink lingerie style stuff

cgl and the threads helped kill larme. there was a ridiculous amount of policing what "counted" as larme or not, taking the style way too seriously, hosting "larme meetups", trying to make a lifestyle aspect. basically just copying the lolita fashion blueprint and a tiny bit of the gyaru fashion structure and trying to make larme fit into that.

there also was a lot of superiority in early larme threads. a lot of "we're so much better than the stupid lolitas, this is how grown women dress, we aren't babies playing dressup or ddlg weirdos".

larme had a big boom in the west because for a short amount of time western brands like h&m and forever 21 made pieces that could easily fit into larme because trends overlapped for once. dusty pink, lace and feminine elements, overlay skirts were everywhere for two seconds.

then larme-esque pieces got harder to find at forever 21 and the magazine drifted away from the cookie cutter black/pink trend that cgl decided was law. thats when the threads died.

larme is just a distant relative of gyaru that was birthed from the amo style/soft sister 2012 trend. it was never meant to be a concrete, never changing style.

It's really discouraging that so many rules were established. I like that there is a general theme, but it wasn't as strict as lolita.
I never witnessed the fighting over being "more adult". Sounds dumb since most of the sub styles stuffer from besing associated with ddlg.

I still dress "larme-inspired" and keep up with the general trends and I acknowledge that not only has the style shifted, the way I coord wouldn't even count a ~larme~ in the early threads. Good thing I ignored what westerners think is or isn't larme style and stuck with the actual magazines/brand instagrams instead. I also wouldn't necessarily call it a whole standalone fashion, more like a certain way of styling. The styling is actually the main reason why so many westerners failed at larme, they focused too much on the clothes and not on the ~feeling~ of the styling.

[Anonymous No.10258550]

It was never a style to begin with.
LARME as a magazine started out very clearly inspired by Gyaru and Otome. The entire idea was to let more adult girls stay "kawaii" while still looking their age.
The constant need of the western "community" to stick to the cookie-cutter patterns and colors is what made it fail so hard as a "style". They wanted it to be "larme-kei" when it was never "kei" to begin with.
You can't take the general idea of dressing cute yet trendy and make it a style, it's just what it is. being cute and trendy.

Aomoji Kei referred to magazines full of cute/casual styles. The term coined because the casual magazines always had blue text (hence AoMoji) and was the opposite of Akamoji Kei, magazines who promoted mature and feminine styles and usually had titles with red text.

>>10259294
ラルム系 would be used as an outfit descriptor (lit Larme style outfit) and would technically be correct but when actually referring to the fashion you can just say Larme. It’s like how you could say “It’s a ロリィタ系 brand” but you wouldn’t say “I wear ロリィタ系”

It's even worse than trying to make "kera kei" a thing, because Kera at least focuses on fashions that aren't mainstream. Larme is basically the Japanese equivalent of "Teen Vogue kei" or "suburban mall kei".

you must be an anachan because risa is thinner now than she’s ever been in her career. she’s thinner than many jfashion models and she was noticeably at a higher weight during her years modeling for Katie when she had blonde hair. She was obviously getting work then so it’s not like she was tossed aside the moment she gained weight.

Literally everyone’s weight fluctuates throughout the day based on their last meal, amount of water, for women their time of the month factors in and your last bowel movement. Daily weight fluctuations are not carelessly gaining weight.

I know the thread's been derailed far from its original topic, but

I kinda just feel like the Jfash conversation is dead altogether in the anglosphere atm. There hasn't really been much to discuss since all the gyaru substyles filtered down to normie-tier, and now Larme isn't the novelty it was several years ago. I'm sure people are still enthusiastic about "alternative" Jfash (i.e. neither mainstream nor as alt as fairy kei, for instance) because the fukubukuro threads are still super popular, but it would be interesting to hear the perspective of a Japanese 20something on whether brands like Rosemarie Seoir are still ~relevant. Most of the current Larme models seem to dress like office ladies in their own time, with the exception of Chisato because she is always on holiday.

I follow a lot of Himekaji instas but by and large, Jfash insta is dominated by that rainby kaweewee bastardisation of decora popularised by Pixielocks, along with taobao resellers and Dollskill shills. Maybe the discussion is happening elsewhere and I'm just old and out of touch. Discord a shit, I only really use insta/fbook/imageboards, and I assumed Tumblr died a death long ago. I got into Jfash through purpose-built forums and LJ communities, and I've found it difficult to adapt to the current model where you participate in the community by way of accumulating internet kudos and perfecting your personal brand. Where my fellow over 30s at? Don't pretend you have better things to do than shitposting in the current year.

I feel the same way anon. Except for Lolita and Fairy kei, it seems like all the jfashion content is dead in the Western communities. No one really makes YouTube videos or blogs about it. Even Lolita content is dying down. Cgl doesn't even discuss other jfashions besides the 2 I mentioned. I used to check cgl several times a week a couple years, now I check it like once a month. It doesn't help that jfashion threads get completely derailed by trolls and infighting (like this one).

Now I just follow a bunch of Japanese instagrams and a few Weaterners for jfashion content. But it's really not the some, I miss when there were communities with actual discussions just a few years ago.

I definitely get what you’re saying about the policing of what is and is not Larme, but I think a lot of it was people going “This outfit is not Larme” when they really meant “this outfit does not look good.”

I remember those don’t cry baby group threads and honestly a lot of the outfits were just ugly or unflattering on a basic level, never mind the Larme aspect.

But instead of critiquing things on a basic style level it became a clusterfuck of is this or is this not Larme, plus a lot of “doesn’t suit Larme” jabs at girls’ faces and bodies. It’s literally just fucking clothes, not everyone has to be a model.

I think that's a very fair point to make.
I wonder how much of larme dying down is due to the fact that it's not a very forgiving style if you're at all overweight or very tall. That also means that the second hand market for brand clothes is pretty tiny, and imagine how much smaller lolita fashion in the West would be if the second hand market barely existed. At least if you're a lolita and get pieces you like exclusively from brands you always have the option of reselling them if there's something you dislike. Not so much with a lot of other jfashions.
