>Does a fashion inherently have to form strict rules to become successful, like lolita did?
I think so. Look at how the western community butchered fairy kei, cult party kei and dolly kei, because they didn't have those guidelines and were misinterpreted. That being said, I think rules are there for newbies and once you can put together a nice outfit it doesnt matter if you follow the rules.

>Do you like old old-school? Or is it definitely a product of its time?
I love old-school, it's the main part of my wardrobe. Although I really want to try a very early style coord from when the fashion was hardly recognisable by today's standards, but I'm too afraid nobody else will get it and just think I'm ita, particularly here on cgl.

>If you're an oldfag, what year did you first see/hear about lolita?
I'm not an oldfag because I didn't start wearing it until 2012, but I first discovered lolita sometime around 2005 in FRUiTS, so I never knew the western old-school comm which may have something to do with the rose tinted glasses I see old-school through
