So is there a way you can tell someone is /fa/ when just walking down the streets? Whenever I go out in lolita, if someone tells me "I love your coord" or "Is that Angelic Pretty/any other lolita brand?" then I know that they know the fashion and have made some friends right then there like that.

Yes an no, I made some of my first friends at school over fashion. But in NYC it's not uncommon to see people walking around in Supreme, Gosha, Undercover etc. Everybody's a lot more well kept than at home (Dallas). Even in Paris, LA or Toronto (other cities I've lived in) that's never really made friends over a compliment other than parties, but never on the street.

Living in a metropolitan area it never happens and is very rare. That being said I was back home in Dallas for my mom's birthday and I had gone out with some high school friends and got a couple of (you)s in pic related, but in places like NYC or LA it's not at all uncommon and most people don't approach or acknowledge you other than a head nod or a thumbs up. It just depends on how fashion forward your city is.

All that being said I wouldn't really befriend someone, over someone saying I like your outfit unless it was really wowing me, (especially becuase it's becoming more and more common for guys to take an interest in fashion) the exception being. if it was in a less general setting like stated above (school or party)

well, with me, what helps a lot is to drop hints a lot. if he reciprocates then start doing it more and more until he starts straight up sexting you

then when you two hang out hold hands and stuff, then just continually do more and more touchy stuff, you gotta COAX him into it.

talk about his favorite stuff and get into his hobby maybe

If he's like me, he's just trying to seem like it's not a big deal.

My dream girl dropped all the hints: the awkwardly long, intense eye contact, adjusting my collars, referring to me with uncomfortably cute nicknames, she even seemed to put emphasis on agreeing with my views as well as hating everything I hated. Even cheesy stuff like raising eyebrows and winking at each other.

Being the autist I am, I practically dismissed her the entire time, and probably made it seem like I was flirting ironically.

thanks you two lol. i'll try my best. i mean worst case scenario i'll just seem like a weirdo and it won't happen, but it's not happening currently anyways so I guess it's not a loss if we end up disconnecting. Best case is well, you know.

Usually with guys I'm trying to get onto (or if we want to be more accurate, into) I just get really suffocatingly nice. Motherly, I guess? Lots of pet names and supporting, checking if they're okay, pampering their ego, ect ect. I guess I've been holding off because he's local and I'd be embarrassed to bump into him later on if he found that to be suffocating or whatever. Worth a shot though, if you shybois are all the same. I guess I just figured he's probably not lonely enough to buy into that shit, so I tried being more lax. Guess I just need to make him feel more secure/comfortable around me, or whatever. IDK what boys like.

You are kinda making yourself seem fake and internally a mean person...... But if you were doing this to me I'd eat that shit up, so whatevs

I personally do like that kind of stuff, I do like clingy girls. A LOT of other guys don't, though, so it is prolly best to back off a little.

Honestly, touching is the way to go, and just making him think about you a lot works. All the girls I talk to (that ended up being fwb) knew I have a huge leg fetish, and whenever they randomly send me leg pics it drives me absolutely crazy. They stay in my mind forever and I sometimes lose myself and just straight up ask to do it... I'd suggest doing the same with him. Find out what he likes and just subtly entice him. Girls did it with me like 'hey check out my socks!!!' But >shows entire leg
Gotta be a little subtle but enough to let him know what's up.

outside of hypebeast fuckboys, fashion is a background thing. Most people don't actually discuss it online forums, and the kind of person who carries "being into fashion" as a mark of their identity don't know how to dress. In other words, it's pretty lame to walk up to someone and tell them their clothes are cool

the only exception is if they're wearing iconic designer pieces from old shows ("archival") because then that means the both of you are well-informed in high fashion, much more of a niche interest that's a rarer connection than just having good style sense. or more genuinely good taste and hard to obtain (not just shit you heard the internet hype) niche labels, like cosmic wonder or the afore mentioned Bless or I guess artisanal labels count like harnden though I don't really fuck with them.

on the other hand, if someone's wearing an iconic, contemporary high fash piece, like rick owens' shoes or a vetement top, you wouldn't say anything, not about his clothes or anything else because you wouldn't want to be seen talking to such a tryhard loser

Replicas are only supplied for fuckboy hyped shit, at that point it really doesn't matter. If they made replicas of decent label's stuff, then it'd be a more complicated question

imo I'd approve of that situation if it happened on a large scale. For example, Zara getting somehow past copyright laws and being allowed to do direct copies of runway pieces, rather than being forced to make arbitrary, tasteless adjustments to avoid litigation

I think it would undermine the cancerous fuckboy mentality (wearing clothes for signal value instead of curating any developed aesthetic sensibility) which has sunk its claws into rtw. the signal value of an expensive, hyped piece is lost when everyone assumes you just got the easily available $50 "1:1" rip, forcing them to refine their hype towards a more personal sense of luxury, like the quality fetishism of visvim fanboys


In general, I think clinging to authorship is regressive cancer so the ethical appeals against copying doesn't move me

Interesting. There's definetly different ideas of what is acceptable and what isn't. In lolita, print replicas are the most looked down upon, as it is considered to be art theft. That being said, shoes and bags replicas are generally fine, as some consider the designs to be 'basic', although they still cause some debate.

Print replicas are popular among people whose measurements don't fit the original brand(some of the most popular brands only do one size), or if it is a particularly expensive and rare piece. There are other reasons too I'm sure. Are these some of the reasons some of you go to replicas instead?

I just don't understand the idea behind "art theft".

Why should someone creating a pattern preclude everyone else from producing it? The argument is usually just that then it wouldn't incentivize anyone to create new patterns, but that's hardly realistic.

Firstly, the original author would still be rewarded in sales by being the first to produce the pattern, so regardless of protection, it is exclusive for a time. But more importantly, do you really think they produced the pattern just to make money being the sole seller of it? It's almost always just because they had a vision and found that the existing tools weren't enough to achieve it, so they had to invent something new.

So why should others be precluded from following their own vision because of some arbirtrary ethic of attributing proper authorship? Any use of the tools, patterns, methods, history predating the 20th century are unjustly 'stealing' other's work likewise.

To me it's just a warped mentality. The only line drawn between someone ripping off existing work (like Jacob Hetzer) and someone heavily appropriating or citing (everyone else) is just if they do it poorly, with no insight, in other words, if they're a hack or not.

>> No.11373122

Hey that's a good argument there man

If fakes really stop designers from making pieces, then those designers shouldn't be making fashion in the first place.

A designer only makes fashion as an art, and not solely as a means to make money. If they only design to make money, they'd be only following trends and making safe and boring designs... Something that is inherently bad for fashion in the first place.

Fashion isn't like videogames, as fashion is an art and designers use it specifically to express themselves and provide a means for us to express ourselves and have fun with fashion.

>inb4 videogames are art

Also, I still feel like buying real is much better than fakes... But I understand it's hard for people to do so

Yea I mean for all the big talk, I've never fucked with fakes and probably won't ever. There's no reason for anyone to 2bh, even if you're poorfag, great clothes can be found thrifting. Replicas are for tasteless posers.

Using fashion to join a tribe and make friends is as criminal as using it to make money, imo wearing clothes is an art in the same way as producing it, though probably more closer to curation.

Another facet is military replicas (opposed to surplus). I'm not that familar with mil scene but I think it's pretty common practice

Most replica sellers actually don't know much but the fashion, and absolutely rip off the design and the print of a dress, because money. A lot of them have mediocre quality, as the fabric and lace don't match up to brand standards, and the print is usually not as clear cut. Prints are huge sellers.

Lolita very much runs on inspiration from brands, and inspired pieces are everywhere- that is fine overall.

>>11373122
Brands also use safe designs every year (chocolate, berries, crosses in prints at least once a year), so I mean, it's a bit more complex than just making art

As of now, Angelic Pretty is pretty popular. BTSSB and Meta have had their fair share of replicas.

>Is there big money in replicas?
Replicas vary in popularity, but they're usually a third or so of the original's price. I mean, fuck if I know, because we don't even get any sort of figures or inside info from the brands themselves, except from rare occasions. Seems very hush hush to me.

>What are some /cgl/ approved lolita brands?
Really broad question. Cgl has different tastes, there are brandwhores, bodyline-chans and everything else in between. It depends on the individual. Most of the time, it's design and quality that matters. Maybe another lolita might be able to answer this better.

Not the person you are replying to, and not a gull but I dated one several years ago for a couple years. She was pretty well known in the western lolita community.

Anyway, long story short: Brand names have even more power in the lolita community than in mainstream fashion. Shits expensive too. People who own replicas are looked down upon severely, bitched about etc. There are basically a few sanctioned brands (i think one is angelic pretty..I remember that name somehow)

Who knows, maybe it is different now and the lolita community as a whole probably isn't completely homogenous so there are probably groups with different prevailing attitudes.

She's been seen wearing Lolita before, but I wouldn't call her style Lolita. OTT Classic and OTT Sweet are two distinctive Lolita styles, and some really hate the style as it looks too costumey for them. Try googling it to see what they mean.

> I could accessorise my face or hair?
Some delicate jewellery would definitely look nice with Yohji, nothing that will take attention away from the actual outfit. A brooch maybe?

There are a fair amount of kawaii/Lolita things to do in London, however there a no jfash shops as such. Camden Town has some cute pop up shops, designer vintage boutiques in Shoreditch and Islington, Fan Museum in Greenwich, Victorian fashion displays at the V&A, and so many high tea places. Bubble tea too I guess?

MCM is London's biggest convention. It's alright. I never got the hype about MCM bags though.

Iirc Kyary has only worn lolita a few times, and mostly just for advertisements / modeling gigs.
I guess OTT is similar to her costumes in that both involve over-accessorizing, but it's a bit of a reach. Most lolitas don't have an opinion on her because she's unrelated. OTT isn't everyday wear or its own substyle, just the amped up version of a substyle (ie: OTT Sweet, OTT Classic, OTT Gothic) used mainly for events, meetups, and fashion shows.

Adding on my opinion about replicas way too long after the fact-
I think /fa/ and /cgl/ have very differing takes on the replica debate because between the two fashions, replicas mean two very different things.
Lolitas use the term 'replicas' to denote exact print replicas of dresses, whereas 'knock-off' to refer to things like copycat design elements like bags, shoes, et cetera. Current lolita is very print-centric, and most brands release original prints that are digitally drawn by their artists and exclusive to that brand. When lolitas debate about "replicas", they mean Chinese sellers who obtain the original dress, scan the print into the computer, trace it over, reprint the design on cheaper fabric, and construct it as closely as possible to the original while cutting as many corners as they can.
So it's not /quite/ the same as say, copying the cut of a jacket, or choosing a similarly patterned fabric. It's literally tracing somebody else's art, and then trying to sell it with the original brand name still attached (see the logo on the donuts in pic related) and profiting from it.
Most replica-chans are young girls who feel entitled to the print even though they can't afford it ("But I looove Milky Berry! It's my favorite print /ever/! It's not my fault I'm not some rich, snobby brandwhore like you elitists!") and don't understand you can't steal things just because you like them, and the other majority are girls who can't fit the measurements of the garment (or refuse to believe they can, even though most dresses nowadays can accommodate 100cm+ busts) and believe because the brand is ~fat shaming~ them, they deserve to buy replicas instead of going for the various other options available to them.

Actually, the same thing happens with replicas also. When Chinese and Korean companies buy say, a supreme or vetements shirt, they scan the art that is on it, trace, replicate the fit as much as possible, then sell it. They steal art just as much as the lolita people do

In terms of the value, you're absolutely right. I've even sold a few things secondhand for more than I bought them for, just because of demand/value, or finding discounted damaged pieces and fixing them up. Replicas will never sell secondhand because everybody will just buy them new, they're constantly available instead of being a limited release, and most fatty-chans need them custom-sized anyways. The sad part is that a lot of replica-makers sell at the same price as secondhand brand, but most newbies are too afraid of the "$500" pricetag that /all/ brand /totally/ has to even know that.

honestly I feel that getting pissed off about fakes - or people wearing them - is pretty futile. They hurt the industry etc, but there's no real way of stopping it from happening. I think that we should merely pity them, not for being poor, but for the fact that copping a replica will never fill up ur soul like copping your grail for real (not sure if /cgl/s call them 'grails'). Guarantee that a lot of replica coppers regret their purchases, and wish they were wearing the real thing every time they put them on

I do tend to feel pity for them, because as a newbie I was a replica-chan too. I never bought any, but I wishlisted a ton of them and was even planning on buying one for my prom dress until I actually looked at secondhand sales and bought myself a nicer, different brand dress for cheaper. When it finally arrived and I was able to compare the quality to my dresses from Bodyline (a cheap, somewhat costume-y shop that sells lolita, with a couple diamond-in-the-rough pieces that are good for everyday wear and wardrobe filler) my mind was totally changed.
I can understand the perspective of wanting to shame or stigmatize replicas, though. It's a social instinct and a way to discourage behaviors considered harmful to the group. If replicas are considered taboo and something that will get you ostracized, less people will consider it and instead look at alternatives. It doesn't stop everybody, but it does cause a reduction.

Being a decent lolita isn't just about the dresses- makeup, hair and accessories are extremely important. Someone might be wearing a highly sought dress but if their hair and makeup aren't elegant then she might as well be wearing a bin bag. That's where 80% of my prep goes into.

>Might have to grow my hair out for another few months yet though
Wear a wig. Most of us do!

>yes I do!! I would love nothing more
>rorita costume
My attempt at a joke, sorry. Just that a lot of non lolita sellers think that lolita is 1) a costume and 2) made of cheap wrinkly cotton with scratchy lace. Then charge £80-100 for them under the guise that they are actual lolita dresses. Happens a lot at cons.

>Do you wear a wig personally? Do they itch (I assume not as much with decent wigs)? And how do they work on somebody with already long hair? My hair is very thick and wavy and semi-long, so idk if it'll work man
Having long hair means I get to wear wigs from time to time but not much. Only when the coord is better suited with short hair.
Good quality wigs aren't itchy, a hair cap will go over your head to protect your scalp and to stop the hair from peeking out from under the wig. So depending on how thick and how wavy your hair is, you might need to tie or braid it and tuck it under the wig cap.

>Plus, you probably enjoy it anyway
Lolita takes a lot of time and effort to get right, so I wouldn't recommend doing it if you're not really into it... but isn't that much like other hobbies?

> I always assumed that most lolita dresses were made super cheaply etc,
Quality lolita dresses aren't cheaply made- they usually have custom printed fabric, custom lace and buttons. They will usually have the brand's logo or fit the theme of the dress. These are unique to the brand and can be used to distinguish replicas, although some have even replicated the lace.
Lace has to be high quality, that is a given. Soft and thick lace can make a dress much better.

Brands such as Angelic Pretty and BTSSB only do one size, so if you're not in the size range you're pretty much fucked. Being skinny definitely helps in jfash!

The people who know the difference between fake and real on a passerby on the street are probably in the same lower income level and since they're intimately familiar with the counterfeits they probably own or considered them at a point.

Search for mori girl or mori kei. Lots of natural textures, floral prints, and lace in cream and muted hues. The men's equivalent is called mori boy.

My personal favourite "spinoff" (I use this term loosely) of mori kei was the dolly kei movement. The colours and prints were darker and richer, more inspired by eastern Europe. It kinda died so cult party kei could live.

True, but it's only makeup and styling hair. It might take an extra 10 minutes to recover and fix up, but in the grand scheme of things that's hardly important. But if you get the whole look wrong then… you learn. How long, on average, does /fa/ take to get ready? Are there any specific grooming routines you do?

>my hair's pretty thick. Wont it awkwardly lift my hair further up and make it look like I have a massive forehead or smth?
depends really, I know a few people that have had that problem, but 70% of the time, the cap pushes down your hair, and your wig will clip into the cap. Most lolita and cosplay wigs will make your head look slightly bigger.

>never seen or handled a good lolita dress irl, would be interesting to see how they compare to high fashion womenswear
I would say that they're definitely comparable! That is to say, just the clothes. Bags and shoes look good, but are ok in quality. Sometimes I use cute designer bags instead of lolita bags in my coords because they just look better.

obviously cant speak for everyone, but not reely anything unusual outside of hair routines (idk if people outside of /fa/ use coconut oil + minimum/no poo). I'm lucky enough to have nice skin, so I dont have to worry too much about acne treatment and such besides basic skincare, but some of us do; there's a useful /skin/ sticky on /fa/ which is nice to redirect people to.

Other than that, no I don't wear makeup or anything. Yohjiboi is pretty low maintenance. Which is partly why I figure it'd me more difficult for cosplaying. When seagulling, you're trying to emulate something specific, whereas with /fa/, you can just wear whatever and have a larger margin for error since you're creating your own image, if that makes sense

>will make your head look slightly bigger

funny, I had thought that there would be a lot of focus on hair and skin, but I understand if some styles are lower maintenance than others. jfash styles usually specific looks to it, so adhering to it as much as possible is the ideal. That's not to say that all of them are bound by rules like lolita, but menhera for example, relies more on aesthetic

Depends completely on the style, yeah. Lots of designers go for that sort of thing, but somebody like Yohji actually sort of makes a point of choosing imperfect models (sorry to go on about Yohji so hard, he's definitely not all that I like and wear, but he does resonate with me. Guy's like the Yoda of fashion). A big theme in lots of his work is the perfection of imperfection, so to speak. Sorry if that sounds pretentious or pseudo-intellectual, but it's basically why he so often uses models with facial imperfections, or pic related, where the models had black eyes and such (it also represents other fun artsy things such as his rise from bankruptcy, I believe).

Personally I don't like to try too hard because it aint me. I could never pull off SLP because Im clumsy as fugg and knock things over all the time and I've never shot heroin at a fashion party in my life. Everything looks awkward and contrived when you try and dress for a different personality than your own, imo.

>if something seems like it is too much effort to be enjoyed, then it is probably something to not pursue.
of course, but I was thinking more as in presenting yourself as something that doesn't represent you. When I wear my stupid baggy clothes everyday, I never feel like I'm dressing up, whereas I definitely would if I was going full /slp/ or something, which you can only truly pull off if you're a genuine rockstar or celebrity. Have a look at the Rick Owens or the (horrible nowadays) WAYWT threads. They're always full of people spending too much money to look like they're playing dress-up rather than appearing natural, which is very unattractive to me.

I feel like /cgl/ might have different opinions on looking like you're dressing up, because you literally are over there, and you're self-aware of it because that's the whole point. However, I still feel like there's a definite line between something sort-of natural like >>11375946, and the common weaboo who wears loud things to feel different and just ends up looking like they're going to a fancy dress party

>>11377102
>if you see some of the theories as to why lolita is so popular internationally, you would see the same type of pseudo-intellectual analysis
what theories are you referring to? Sound interesting. Or is it just about Western whitey's yellow fever influencing them to dress up as schooolgirls and eat sushi so they feel more 'Asian'?

>did not expect that from this board
ha, we're largely divided on it, I think. Androgyny was massive in 2015 as far as runways from the biggest brands go. Never really seen it pulled off irl aside from trendy Acne/cuck core, but it can work really well if you happen to be perfectly sculpted for it (pic related)

I didn't mean literally. Not did I mean that 'rule' objectively, it's irritating to write 'imo' after everything. I can concede that word it badly though and ended up sounding more like I was 'making rules' than I meant to, accept my apologies xx

l used SLP as an example because it is very popular, but only a small percentage of the people that try it actually pull it off (imo :^)). I didn't mean to imply that literal rockstars and celebrities are the only ones who can look good in it exclusively because that would be fukn stupid. What I did mean is that I believe it's such a style which is hard to wear well without looking contrived, which I was trying to get out with that whole post.

I think - possibly more than you do - that a person looks better when they dress for an environment and personality which they are actually a part of, rather than trying to emulate it. Just imagine a nerdy dweeb wearing full slp - they'd look out of place and uncomfortable. Please dont take that as a 'you POSER' type of statement, either. I don't really care.

>dressing for others or the environment
Thats why you niggas don't improve. You guys had Knochensack, Poet. Stylish people that are what they are because they don't give a fuck about what the "environment" thinks.

Get authentic with your fashion sense and you will get fashionable. You're too afraid just because "nerdy dweebs wearing full slp". Dude realize that: There are people who are novices & that they are learning. You don't start good at an style, you get good & make it your own. You shouldn't let your clothes wear you.
