Larme

Larme kei thread. Tulle skirts edition, they are so good.

A magazine, Larme-kei is fashion that follows the magazine's trends.

[Anonymous No.8441450]

Are normalfag tulle skirts acceptable for larme? I have a couple white tulle skirts, and I've been having trouble styling them in a more "normal" way.

[Anonymous No.8442384]

can we please refrain from posting more hime gyaru, himekaji/romagyaru in this thread. If you can't tell or just don't know then don't post it because you're going to confuse people, stick to the brands you know (if your shit is from Ank Rouge, Liz Lisa or whatever it's fucking gyaru. Check Swankiss, Mon Lily, Honey Cinnamon and the like for Larme kei)

The magazine is under $6 and bi-monthly so why not BUY it if you want to support and do the fashion? I won't scan mine except a few images each issue for topic review. Don't be so cheap.

Kinokuniya perhaps?I'll have to check mine (In Aus) and see if it's in stock (KERA + GLB is). I just googled it and found a site called Animebooks that does a yearly sub.

[Anonymous No.8442438]

>>8442413
It is about 2cm shorter than KERA and G&LB and is bound like the bibles. Width is same and about 150 pages each issue. Themes for the pictorials vary with each issue but the overall Larme concept is the same. The pages and cover are a nice semi-matte finish though, not shiny. Some really great eyebrow tutorials too, which surprised me.

Well the brands in Larme aren't going to be available any more than the magazine is unless you order thrm, right? If you want things, be ready to pay for them. My shipping is not free either you know? I think people stopped sharing Japanese magazine scans so much because only a few of us bother to support the magazines. You can't just expect to freeload.

I get what you're trying to do and admire it, anon. I just see scans of it all over the place as well, though. I think that's more what some of us were thinking might be around here.

Larme is literally a magazine and Larme-kei is the styles seen in the magazine. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect people to want to see some scans from it.

In San Francisco there is a bookstore in which you can buy this magazine and dozens upon dozens of others all imported from Japan. Check your friendly neighborhood Japantown and see if they have a bookstore where you might stumble upon this.

Ank Rouge, Liz Lisa and Tralala are brands that are used tons in the magazine, it really just depends on the make up and the hair to tell if it's gyaru or not at this point.

Well considering I'm 6ft tall I highly doubt I'm able to wear most of the brands anyway.
I'm not even one of the anons saying I desperately want scans, I just wish it was easier to get.

From what I've seen, Larme looks like a really nice magazine and I'd love to buy it for inspiration.

Cry more. When I buy things from the UK, shipping is super expensive. Some shops won't even deduct your EU VAT on top of it. But guess what? If I want British goods, that's what it costs.

[Anonymous No.8442490]

>>8442486
But that's just it, it is easy to get. I guess you just do not want to order and pay to do so.

[Anonymous No.8442493]

Just a heads up, you can buy the magazine from CDjapan, they also offer multiple shipping options and if you want to, the option to mark it as a gift.

Buying it and shipping it to the Netherlands for example is around $11.

I was just giving some advice. I don't live where you do and I don't know about whether or not most places have a Japantown. This is my experience. No need to be salty about it.

I don't know about whether or not they sell online, but they have fashion magazines ranging from Korean to Chinese to, of course, Japanese primarily. I love going in there and browsing through them all for makeup and hair ideas. [http://www.yelp.com/biz/kinokuniya-bookstore-san-francisco]

It's not stupidity when it's something exclusive and the shop won't budge on the VAT. And I'm being salty because they are crying over not getting something that's ~$11 for freeeeee.

Thank you very much, I'll check their shipping options to me.

Now back to topic. If we list brands from the magazine, people can go look at their web shops and not need to beg scans, right? Right. I'll check some more brands but >>8442384 did list some.

What do you think are acceptable body types for larme? Do you have to be super skinny? Or can someone with a more athletic build pull it off? I love the style, but I have thicker legs, so I'm worried it just wouldn't look right on me.

I want to try buying the latest magazine (016). I found it on the normal Amazon site for $10.74 + $3.99 shipping. It's on the Amazon jp site for 590 yen (no shipping charge, looks like). With the yen being so weak would it be cheaper to buy it and send it through tenso via SAL? Is it viable to ship just one magazine?

Americans are exempt from EU VAT and many shops do deduct it if their prices reflect base price + VAT, if you ask and it's being shipped to the U.S. but some don't. That's been my experience.

For some of the darker toned looks, dark tights might help you, or cable knot ones with vertical pattern. You'll just have to look through, especially fall/winter photo sections.

Once you register an account with Amazon JP you can put it in your cart and it will give you the shipping option so you can compare.

[Anonymous No.8447071]

>>8444874
For reference, Amazon JP is a flat 1000 yen for an order, plus 400 yen for shipping. The free shipping is Japan only.
However, it does ship internationally, and uses DHL so it's ridiculously fast.

[Anonymous No.8447095]

>>8444874
For me on Amazon JP it's 4.60 + 7.59 = 12.19 (USD) and ships by Amazon global priority but I order other things when I get a magazine so shipping is less per item.

Thanks guys. I thought I had to use tenso, didn't realize I could ship from there directly. I'll check the costs. I think it'll still be cheaper than buying through an import on the us site.

Larme could take similar routes to them such as loose clothing or fluffy jumperskirts over blouses, but it has a specific aesthetic of pastels and a girly sweet-natural look, so it would adapt those trends to fit it's own general style instead of morphing into a substyle rather than it's own thing.

Don't use Tenso to ship books btw. My friend and I bought some cheap manga for like 1 yen plus domestic ship, and it would have been cheaper/equivalent just to buy it new from Amazon with their DHL shipping.

I don't think anyone here is actually wearing it and only a few people have seen more than a couple of magazine scans. Maybe once at least 5 people are wearing it and doing hair and makeup? Otherwise it will just be more of what's getting posted here.

After some time of collecting scans and preparing good coordinations, it could be possible.

[Anonymous No.8456003]

>>8455976
Oh, I'm not against it, far from that. I just think the idea is premature and the thread here seems to be going along decently for now. It might split the interest up too much at this point to have it in 2 places. But if others want it, they should freely make one. I honestly think this will go mostly the way of western gyaru, adapting lots of western stuff more once people get the feel for the style.

The editor was interviewed about the magazine and said she created it with the hopes of it being like a kind of support to girls, or something that they could look at when they were sad and be cheered up by the pretty things in the pages. I'm sure it mostly had to do with aesthetic, though.

I was wondering... in the frame of akamojiu and aomoji, would Larme fit in which?

(considering that akamoji is the fashion for women to look sexy/cute for men, and aomoji the fashion from girls to girls, to be happy with yourself)

btw, I'm getting these:

The 2013 one will be dated so the fashions will not be in stores anymore but the makeup and hair tutorials should be good. The current one is well, current so the items will be in stores still.
I'm just going to start adding the issues in bi-monthly when I order my Kera, there's only 1 day difference in publishing dates for them. It takes about 4 days from publication dates for magazines to arrive to me in the US from Japan if I already have my pre-order in.

[Anonymous No.8464829]

>>8464813
Honestly, I learned all of these from browsing cgl, instagram, and tumblr.

What I do is start my searches with generic terms, such as harajuku, kawaii, jfashion, etc.

Then I narrow my searches to the type of look I want. So if I want to learn about girly looks - gyau, romantic, sweet. If I want cuter looks - pastel, soft, cream... Kinda like searching with an aesthetic in mind.

Then I just link-hop and click on all the photos, links to stores, and that leads to more defining terms/ people who are more expert at the style to define it

Is this what you were wondering?
