Welcome to the second installment of A Gothic Aristocrat Primer! I encourage you to read the first article, as there are some pointers there that also apply to the two styles I will brush over today: Madam and Ouji.
Madam Style
My impression of Gothic Madam is that of a grown-up Gothic Lolita; feminine and frilly [...]

Greetings, readers! I am known as Kuroloki Roku (my friends call me Roku), and for my first Anime Blog article, I would like to teach you about the elusive Aristocrats of Gothic and Lolita fashion.
Unfortunately, the terms and different types never imported well from Japan, and if I only told you about [...]

Love it or hate it, one can’t help but be intrigued by modern Japanese fashion. With their loud colors, strange accessories, and daunting hairstyles, trendy fashions among Japanese young people seem almost alien in comparison to America’s goth, punk, and emo fashions.
It’s perplexing how some of the obnoxious, brash, and downright garish street fashions evolved [...]

I admit I’m a bit of a closet lolita. Last year’s panel on the subject had me hooked, so there was no way I was missing either, The Way of the Lolita or the Gothic Lolita Fashion Show.

This month Codi tackles the subjects of underwear, loli lengths, and brown nosing.
Reader: What’s the difference between a crinoline, pettipants, and a petticoat?
Codi: Pettipants (more frequently called bloomers), are exactly what they sound like – pants. They add a nice floof under any dress, and also I like the feeling of them keeping me [...]
Believe it or not, being a lolita isn’t easy. Finding the perfect ensemble for a picnic or a tea party for two can be damn difficult if you don’t know what’s What and who’s Who. Not knowing where to get that perfect dress or even what’s being offered in a season’s line up can be [...]
As I was perusing online Japanese fashion sites (which are either never in English or just show pretty pictures with no text), I came across a site which actually analyzes the sub-sects of Japanese street fashion, of which Lolita and Gothic Lolita are a part of.
Gothic Lolita is a distinctive style, though. Sweet or [...]
