Ultimate Lolita Challenge Thread

[Anonymous No.7633937]

Ero Lolita, Punk lolita, Wa Lolita

We've all heard that these things don't officially exist. Dare you try to change that? Will you fail and fall into an eternal pit of ita? Can it ever be done?

Easy mode
> Discussion on Ero, Punk, Wa and other related 'non-styles'
> Image dump, old and ita images allowed
> Related links and/or original content

Hard mode
> Non-ita co-ord collages
> Non-ita real life co-ords

You can obscure your face. Let's all play nicely and offer constructive criticism, the goal isn't to tell anon that her ita ero co-ord isn't lolita, the goal is to work together to make an acceptable one.
If you absolutely never want to see any of these sub-styles in lolita and don't want to play, please just hide the thread.

>>7633948
I dig the simple chaos going on here. If all of those patterned things were just turned black, her coord would be simple and nice. It's got an overall balanced feel. The colors and hectic patterns are what make it "punky" whereas in..

>>7633941
There is just way too much going on here. The bandana on top of slouchy socks on top of the patterned tights all on top of calf-high boots is already crazy. The bracelets are more kandi-raver-kid and i cant even tell what number of things are on her head.

The color coordination is nice but i think if you got rid of the leg warmers and bandana and like 90% of those bracelets it would have been really cute

Needs different shoes, and some sort of head accessories. Maybe a cool jacket or something. The skirt and top aren't a bad starting point.
Also, tartan doesn't automatically equal punk.

Punk is more than just tartan and skulls. It incorporates more clashing patterns, texture, layers, deconstruction, asymmetry etc.

i think she should lose either the huge peterpan collar or the jacket. something about the combination of these two cause her shoulders and boobs to absolutely disappear, it's a shame, her outfit is good but her body doesn't suit it.

[Anonymous No.7638854]

>>7635483
I like the ideas she had for it. I think incorporating darker colors into the tights and maybe a bit more into the headbow would have pulled it together more, along with losing whatever that sheer thing is.

Or maybe I'm just in love with that jacket. Who knows.

[Anonymous No.7638866]

>>7638854
I personally think it looks off (aside from the theme not being typically lolita) because the black looks too thrown on and just doesn't go with the dress. I think it could work with the black colourway.

I've been toying with the idea of a pirate lolita coord, but I don't know how it'll turn out. No ideas for the leg wear yet and everything's up in the air since my friend wants to twin in this dress.

>>7638887
It's a JSK. They have no pictures of it without the blouse and it's the same blouse I'm getting, but I just wanted a clear picture of the blouse, too.

>>7638885
I know-- I've been eyeing it since it came out, but have been hesitating just because I couldn't coord it any other way. But alas, I think my will is breaking.

Get a white hat? and then some light legwear and black boots.

[Anonymous No.7640456]

It's my understanding that ero is more connected with the Japanese goth alt club scene and visual kei type stuff, and whether or not it still fits with what lolita, particularly gothic lolita has become, is probably always going to be up for debate. Elements of lolita meets 'sexiness' and expressions of sexuality certainly exists though, in the form of worn fashion as well as illustration and other media. I seem to remember that long-standing lolita fashion enthusiast theosakakoneko mentioned that there were often bdsm type acts at the Japanese alt-type club lolita fashion events she attended. It seems these darker aspects to the fashion exist largely in the overlap with the so called edgier side of goth and alternative culture.

The Artist Mitsukasu Mihara, who is often considered to have had at least some role in the development of the lolita look, often touched on bdsm themes and sexuality. This doesn't represent the 'true face of lolita' or anything like that, just perhaps one facet of a complex, greater whole.

[Anonymous No.7640459]

>>7640456
What I would give to own something from Arachnophobia. I love the grape headdresses they had too, hnng. And yes, you are for the most part correct.

[Anonymous No.7640513]

>>7640459
What would you consider to be inaccuracies in the statement? Curious because I don't wish to claim authority, just perhaps offer a different perspective. I'm not really connected to the current lolita scene, and my understanding of these perhaps more controversial aspects, is largely due to my oldfagishness. For what it's worth, I was following this stuff from around 2001 onwards and attended my first meet in, I think it was 2003.

The frequent outright dismissal of all things that touched on 'sexiness' and/or exploration of sexuality (particularly within the egl community), seems to have at least in part, gone some way to obfuscate some of the perhaps less pure and innocent origins and developments that have existed within lolita fashion history.

Obviously dressing in say, a more 'ero' manner doesn't automatically connect you to that darker, alt-type world, more, these elements have existed within that world.

I understand why people may not wish to be associated with any of that stuff, particularly when you consider that many aspects of lolita fashion came from an entirely different outlook/ideology (not to mention the adult nature of some of these darker themes just aren't appropriate for minors).

Some more Mitsukazu Mihara, just cuz.

[Anonymous No.7641800]

>>7640456
>>7640513
I think it's that the goth/alt scene bdsm shit is just that, an element of the gothic side of lolita, and has no connection to the roots of modern classic and sweet lolitas. It's still acceptable and visible within gothic coords even today, but that scene has much less or no connection to development in other substyles.

Pirate lolita is a thing, not a main style for sure or even prevalent enough to be much of a sub-style, but rather one of the many looks you can try out without categorically being told to gtfo. Btssb agrees at least.

[Anonymous No.7642062]

>>7638237
Well there is some people who love it and dress it, there aren't only three main styles of lolita!

Maybe using the jsk or op version and a smaller peter pan blouse would look better.
>>7640456
Interesting. Even if i don't really like this connection to ero stuff with the lolita fashion, especially gothic lolita this sounds accurate. I don't like also that much that bdsm side about the gothic subculture, i'm not a no no sex person but well, not really liking these bdsm acts even if i have to "thank" them to having influenced gothic and lolita styles.

Collageanon namefags because her collages were popular enough that people started requesting her help in coord threads. But if you haven't been around long enough to remember that, you're probably not the expert that you think you are. post your own idea of what a 'correct' substyle coordinate is instead of complaining & we'll take you much more seriously. until then you just sound like a real jerk.

I wouldn't trust Crunchy Roll for lolita items, Anon. If you're in to the old school look, a lot of items with that aesthetic show up second-hand on Lace Market and other sales comms. Bodyline has also stepped up their game in recent years, if you're looking for inexpensive starter pieces. It's a good idea to ask around the community about specific items, however - BL's quality can vary wildly from pretty nice to total crap.

I agree, creepers aren't lolita, but punk lolita is supposed to be a mashup of the two styles. I don't consider huge stompy combat boots lolita either, but they have their place in the substyle.

As for the special snowflake accusation - fair enough, but it is a thread about the more outlandish substyles, so I'm not sure what else you were expecting.

Nope, it's Metamorphose's collaboration re: the Hakuoki franchise. It's drawing off the big fancy lapels of the character's pseudo-western uniforms.
That printed fabric is commercially available, I bought a piece of it in Kyoto and I'm wishing I had gotten more...

I wasn't taking the piss and I've been on /cgl/ for an age, guess I must be an anomaly or maybe y'know, /cgl/ isn't just some collective conscious that just happens to sound and think exactly like you.

Sure, you don't have to like stuff but some examples of your high-caliber coordinating skills might actually contribute to this thread.

Ok, obscured face because no make-up but here is my morning try on punk lolita.
This is definitly a more subbdued look, for I'm lacking of punk items. Maybe an big VW orb ring could complete the look nicely. Well, I tried my best.

[Anonymous No.7645839]

>>7645833
Yeah it needs a lot more punk accessories. It's a really pretty coord but it's very solidly goth.
I think an orb would add to it but wouldn't drive the point home. Something like a spiked crown and/or one of those union jack bags would bring it a lot closer. More ripped/punk like tights or socks would be good too.

[Anonymous No.7645850]

>>7645839
I think an union jack would be totally cliché, honestly. The problem I have with punk lolita is that it often looks costumey.
My hair accessory on the second picture already contain metal (it's a belt like chouchou), my bag as chains on it and the dress have metal details, so I think maybe some sheer ripped otks/thights yes, possibly with a metallic colour/motif on the ankle area and some buttons for my ridder jacket would be good.

[Anonymous No.7645854]

>>7645850
Haha I really love those union jack bags and motifs but I can see how people think they are cliche.
My biggest problem is there's just too much black. Punks generally wear other colors as well, especially denim, red and white. The buttons are a good idea because they usually have writing/symbols on them somewhere.

[Anonymous No.7645859]

>>7645854
I love them too but I saw so much of them in my 'punk' teenage years that I can't stand them as a fashion accessory anymore.
I hear you on that, it's also what I thought when doing it too. The dress has thin blue stripes but I have nothing modern and blue to wear in my wardrobe. If I had one I would wear a red short leather jacket instead of a black one and maybe some green accessories (jewerly ? that green and silver orb necklace I saw the other day) tied together by buttons on the skirt part.
This current outfit is really inspired by >>7644508 in a sort of cleaner, everyday style tho, I wanted it to be more lolita than punk. I love how she manages to keep it both punk and cute while using minimum colours. I think it works because of the layering.

[Anonymous No.7645862]

My punkiest lolita-ish outfit. The skirt is part of a Bodyline set, but there's not enough fabric to have a good poof no matter how much is stuff under it.

[Anonymous No.7645865]

>>7645859
I think the layering is really important and it's one part of punk I haven't fully realized/utilized/understood. But my eye also catches those extreme accessories too, the purse, headdress and ripped tights. But yeah, like I said it's a really nice outfit anyway. Punk lolita is always something I flirt with but I don't think I would wear it to a proper meet or post my coord online or anything.

Do you have any more information or insights you could share about the origin of Lolita, or at least what the fashion was like when you started following it?
I'm hoping to do something involving the history of Lolita, sort of like a timeline, so I'm trying to gather as many perspectives as possible.

[Anonymous No.7646003]

I used to vehemently hate Wa-Lolita, and even refuse to accept it as a substyle, but after seeing this a few months ago my opinion has softened a little bit.

I discovered lolita fashion when I was living in Japan in 2001-2002. My first encounter with the fashion was when I was walking through my local city centre and saw a group of girls dressed as 'Victiorian gothic dolls' - I had no idea what I had seen at that time, but this is how I described it to my friends and family back home. It kinda blew my mind, I just stood there in awe with my mouth hanging open like a demented goldfish.

A few months after this chance sighting I discovered the Gothic & Lolita bible in a magazine store and managed to put two and two together. When I attempted to discuss the fashion with anyone, particularly my classmates they just said things like 'oh, you should ignore them, they're just weirdos'. I met a girl on my regular train journey to school once that was interested in visual-kei and had a passing interest in lolita fashion but this was pretty exceptional, for the most part it was considered a deviant fashion/movement and the majority didn't want anything to do with it. Since I was an exchange student representing my country i had o be careful, and so I didn't ever really speak about or attempt to learn about the fashion again until i returned home. Back in the UK I found this forum: http://blueperiod.suddenlaunch.com/ (can't believe it's still kinda going) and later the egl community on livejournal.

There was very little English language info around at this point, virtually nowhere shipped overseas and shopping services were hellishly expensive as there wasn't much competition or demand. The vast majority of people were either trying to construct lolita-like ensembles using items from stores in their homeland, or bought stuff from cosmates (the quality was generally terrible and bodyline didn't ship overseas at that point). Metamorphose started shipping overseas in later 2002(?) and everyone rejoiced. The next major brands to ship overseas (to my knowledge) were btssb and Moi Meme Moitie through CD Japan.

When I started out the UK scene was tiny and the vast majority that had discovered lolita fashion were either goths or admirers of goth fashion. Many people also struggled to get their head around just how expensive participating in the fashion could be. One of the only decent English language articles on the fashion back in the day was this published in 2002: http://www.morbidoutlook.com/fashion/articles/2002_07_gothiclolita.html

Found these recently (I know, I know), probably the closest to a thorough and unbiased overview of the fashion and its origins I've ever found:

Do any punk lolitas like punk rock?
I'm mostly a sweet classic girl myself but, I've always wanted to try and make a Ramones themed punk coord.

I'm a sweet lolita, and I've been into punk rock for quite a few years now. Seriously considering trying a punk coord as well.

[Anonymous No.7646210]

I wear predominantly sweet or classic lolita & I love punk rock, mainly stuff from the UK mid to late 70s like the clash etc. Never thought of incorporating band merch into a coord though

My problem is that, living in Britain, the people who tend to wear things with the union jack on are usually likely to be racist thugs :(
It's a shame that a rude minority are able to spoil it for everyone else.

I usually get Hangry & Angry stuff at cons. I'm lucky there's almost always an h.NAOTO specific booth, but I got a long cutsew from a Yaoi/"Nazi" booth, surprisingly.

In Italy there isn't that much popularity about punk lolita, if there is something lolita is ita disasters, bodyline or replicas with high prices.

I'm more into industrial metal music, that music style has some resemblings to punk but in a futuristic way (forgive me if i said a stupid thing, it's only see punk themes in industrial) i think and trying punk lolita would be a good choice for me i love loud music even if i'm a sweet lolita person.

Thank you so much! I didn't get into the fashion until 2005 - 2006ish, and of course didn't pay enough attention to discussion in the community or what the people who had been around for a while were talking about at the time. This will definitely help me with what I'm working on!

There isn't anywhere outside of a handful of really big cons. Speaking as an American who has lived in Europe, many of the really big cons in America are as difficult to get to if you live in another part of the country as really big cons in, say, France would be to get to from Italy.
