/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

My goal is to lose weight so I can get into himekaji. I can’t believe I let myself go this much. Depression is one hell of a thing.

>>10531999
Even when I was skinny I couln't wear most himekaji because im too tall and it didnt cover my ass. Guess I'll just die

>>10532004
How tall are you?

>>10532007
5'10"

>>10532008
Ouch.

Can you wear some Lolita skirts/dresses styled as himekaji since they’d be a little shorter on you? Or is that dumb?

There’s also some off brand stuff that can work. I feel like it’d be possible to do, just more difficult and require a lot more hunting

I'll dump a few images

>>10532020

>>10532021

>>10532023

Does anyone know where to find cute, gyaru-ish roomwear?

>>10532025

>>10532028

>>10532030
I'll stop for now so that I'm not disrupting the discussion.

>>10532012
Oh I used to make it work with LL dresses styled as peplum shirts and offbrand bottoms, but its hard to motivate myself to lose weight when that's my endgame lol

>>10531997
I love lolita but always end up feeling kinda overdressed, unfortunately, even if I only wear gothic. None of my closest friends wear it (aside from one, once in a blue moon), so I end up feeling "too much", no matter how much I love seeing myself in it.
Out of lolita I'm a bit of a mess and constantly exploring. My wardrobe was mostly black and red and has been slowly expanding to other colors but I like keeping a certain "edge" (pleathers, chains, big buckles, platforms, etc).
Recently, my gf has been on a cutesy jfashion shopping spree and casually roping me into her princessy fantasies... at first I sorta brushed it off but she started gifting me some pieces... and oh no, I think I like the cute.
We're getting a few Dear My Love and Honey Cinnamon matching pieces, and she keeps looking for clothes among those lines. Liz Lisa, Ank Rouge, etc.

I'd love to surprise her with something so, could I ask for opinions on which cutesy jfashion brands you guys would recommend regarding quality/longevity/value, etc? Or simply your favorite brands/shops.

Thank you!

>>10532021
Is it bad that I want to get into baglady kei because it feels like the appropriate style for feeling kawaii during the plague?

>>10532035
LL has a Tall Size section that is a few cm larger. It's all sold out right now, but they just teased a new print on social media that I assume will have a tall version.

>>10532048
bless you! its been years since i even checked their stuff

What trends do we think are on the horizon for 2021?

>>10532083
pink house

>>10532083
PEEPS still seems to be going strong, meanwhile the color trend seems to shift from millenial pink to a darker raspberry pink just judging by recent girly brand releases.

>>10532083
Looks like LL hired one of those edgelord-style shopgirls, so that trend is still going strong

>>10532106
Shibuya109 as whole even made an own yamikawaii accounts a while ago.
https://www.instagram.com/yamikawa_109/

>>10532106
she looks exactly like any post 2015 LL girl but with pink hair

>>10532113
the make-up look is the main difference. compare to the one on the right. the eyebags are underlined with dark liner, and the lipstain is dark as well. you can also see at the outer corners of the eye the shape is greatly exaggerated like in ye olde gyaru.

here's a clearer example of the make-up trend on a different girl, also with the pink hair

>>10532130
>>10532106
Christ these eye bags are horrendous. I don’t mind as much when it’s subtle, but this is just ugly and bizarre

>>10532163
That's the whole point, it's called slug makeup (ナメクジメイク).

>>10532163
i think the intention is to look emotionally unhinged, so that's why those crazy eyebags are part of the look. and this is a pretty mild example. I see a lot that are photoshopped into straight up aliens.

>>10532130
I think this is just how all Asian models are editing their photos now. Some old gyaru models look downright scary with the eyebag shoop

>>10532037
Liz Lisa and ank rogue are already good, but other recommendations have been:
> lodispotto
> amavel
> bubbles
> honey cinnamon
> secret honey
> swankiss
> ma*rs

If you like not just Japanese brands, To Alice and Cream Made are popular Chinese brands, and Chuu is a popular Korean brand.

>>10532113
fuck off.

>>10531997
Op photo got me thinking: anyone have a lodispotto coat? How warm are they? Any suggestions for good warm non-lolita jfashion coats? I have a Mary Magdalene wool coat for reference, which is super warm but is hard to wear without a lolita skirt underneath.

>>10532474
Thank you so much! I already own an HC dress and I love it, I will have a look through the other brands you've suggested.

>>10532188
Is there a hashtag I can see more examples of it on instagram? I kind of love it.

>>10533081
idk about slug make-up in general, but for specifically the "landmine woman" look the tags are:

#地雷女
#地雷
#地雷メイク

>>10532495
It depends on the material but make sure you get a winter coat. I own one made for autumn so its wool mixed with polyester and thin, good for in between seasons but I'd freeze in winter in it. The other I have is pure wool and very cozy.

How do you guys think that the current black x pink style differs from the Larme trend from 2-3 years ago?

>>10533718
it's a bit more gothic and cutesy. Larme was more toned down and vintage inspired, it had a greater variety of prints and textures too. The current style has less layering, more peter pan collar dresses and ruffles. It was also a little bit sexier with garterbelt motifs and shorter skirts.

>>10533726
I think it's also the styling, I don't think back when the original form of larme magazine was around that this would've been styled with pigtails.

>>10533729
the bodycon trend has all but disappears too, and no more peplum either. this skirt has a garterbelt motif but it's longer and more flared

>>10532027
Limited Too

>>10533734
also shoes are a lot chunkier now, no more thin heels or flats, heres an old larme scan for comparison

>>10533718
In a way the trend is the same, since there was no specific “larme” style. That being said, the pinks nowadays seem more saturated

>>10533726
>It was also a little bit sexier with garterbelt motifs and shorter skirts.
The same thing has been present at the early days tho, even before the magazine was a thing when everyone idolized Amo.

>>10533737
man I miss this style. It suit me a lot more. The current one is too young-looking and cutesy for me.

>>10533729
>this would've been styled with pigtails
???

>>10533801
I’m not saying pigtails were never used back then, they are just more common now

It’s like wigs in lolita. They were used before 2008 but then got really popular after 2008.

>>10533794
Gotta remember that larme isn’t a style, it’s trends. The trend now seems to be less sexy with fewer lingerie inspired clothing and motifs

>>10533164
fuck off with this shit.

>>10533801
What’s with this girls pupils lol they shopped them weird

>>10533899
That's just the reflection in her eyes looking odd due to the whole filtering.

in case anyone was trying to visualize LL boot height like me

>>10536806
there's also this taller western chick, but idk her height

>>10536806
Okay but like where 165 or greater

>>10533729
Definitely think this has more of a cute gothic spin compared to larme's girliness. I wasn't really big on Larme at all but since going into lockdown I've been getting into this style more and more over my normal lolita wardrobe.

Are there Lolita fashion for men?

>>10537024
Ouji or aristocrat.

>>10537024
Filthy scrote do not even think of touching a lolita dress, men are forbidden in this fashion.

Ouji only looks good on skinny Asian boys, which you are most certainly not.

>>10537048
Ouji also looks good on androgynous women.

>>10536823
>this
>gothic spin
just because it black it ain't gothic in any shape or form, it's just dark girly/ダークガーリー

>>10537093
why do you think it's called "dark" then? the word gothic doesn't mean anything anymore.

>>10537094
because it's girly in black, sherlock, doesn't have any gothic elements to it, you are probably the same type of newbie that would call sweet lolita in black gothic

>>10537094
You just went full retard.

Axes Femme has some kind of mascot comic? No idea what it says, but it's cute as heck.

>>10537095
The dresses do feature crosses and lace elements sometimes, Japanese fashion has a different standard of gothic than westerners do

>>10537162
nayrt but where is it described as gothic?

>>10537095
>>10537164
I'm the idiot who posted >>10536823. It's not gothic and I wasn't trying to insinuate it is despite my poor wording, rather that dark girly loosely incorporates motifs and detailing from common gothic ones. My intended point is that I appreciate that nuance over larme's greater focus on girly elements. Anyways, it's not gothic and I don't think we need to beat a dead horse over one innocuous comment.

>>10537120
>The three of us made these clothes with the theme of "connecting with axes femme". It's perfect!
Loosely interpreted but you get the gist I hope. Their mascot is pretty cute!

>>10537226
>rather that dark girly loosely incorporates motifs and detailing from common gothic ones
It doesn't, it just means girly that is dark, it's not a substyle but literally a color name, just like how there is light girly and pastel girly.
>>10537162
>crosses and lace make something gothic
Damn, Angelic Pretty must be peak goth then.

>>10537162
...that's literally a nurse dress.

>>10537162
Fuck is this an old release?

>>10537226
>implying crosses in Larme is something new
newfag

>>10537263
that's one of the design contest winners

>>10533726
>Larme was more toned down and vintage inspired, it had a greater variety of prints and textures too. The current style has less layering, more peter pan collar dresses and ruffles.
Nah, that would have been the magazine 3-5 years ago, current issue is mostly wannabe cottagecore (pic related).

>>10537278
Where do you find scans?

>>10537285
Surprisingly at a jp gravure idol site
https://www.micmicidol.com/search?q=larme

>>10537278
Emphasis on the word WAS. It’s not like that anymore. I was speaking in past tense

>>10537261
I’m saying it’s more gothic themed than what old larme was. Dark/gothic whatever. You sound like a gatekeeping tiktok kid.

And I don’t think dresses with crosses are very sweet. Some of those AP releases are and can be worn in a gothic way.

>>10537292
>Some of those AP releases are and can be worn in a gothic way.
Wrong cuts and too many bows for that.

>>10537300
both of these look sweet

>>10537292
You said
>The current style has less layering, more peter pan collar dresses and ruffles.
Which, as said, was a thing 3-5 years ago, the current issues aren't like that.

>>10537304
moitie is totes sweet

>>10537308
some of moitie’s older releases could be styled sweet, yeah

>>10537310
you really don't seem to know what sweet is

>>10537300
Is right an actual moitie dress?

>>10537316
no, but the article that it's from uses moitie as reference to explain black sweet vs gothic

>>10537316
no, anon is talking out of her ass.

>>10537334
motie has released cuts like that tho, only difference is a print

>>10537338
^^

>>10537289
>https://www.micmicidol.com/search?q=larme
Huh. Thanks anon!

>>10537310
and some AP can be styled gothic. the only major differences between the two coordinates is lack of bows on the gothic dress and use of a bat purse versus a heart shaped purse.

>>10537379
exactly, which is why >>10537300 is a shit example

>>10537417
Only western lolitas care this much about the splitting of hairs between styles. really gothic, clsssic and sweet are more of a spectrum than rigid categories. Sometimes the difference between gothic and classic or sweet and classic is just the brand releasing the item. Some outfits can fit both categories. Unclench.

>>10537462
but how else will the angry gothic lolitas cry about ageplay sweet?

>>10537462
i literally said gothic pieces could be styled sweet

>>10537379
But that doesn't make the dress itself gothic, they never are made to fit an as extreme cupcake poof as sweet dresses to begin with, and calling everything goth just because of being black is retarded.

>>10537530
>they never are made to fit an as extreme cupcake poof
this isn't true. holy shit. are you too new for iron gate?

>>10537532
>iron gate
>cupcake shape
newfag

>>10537532
bait

>>10537532
nta iron gate doesn't even have the room for ott cupcake pettis so idk what you talk about

>>10531997
how do i tie my scarf like this? i tried and fail miserably

>>10537667
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0-QeRA7UqA

>>10537530
hmmmmm

>>10537703
that's a regular cupcake shape, newfag

>>10537703
if you think a regular cupcake petti is extreme, you must be really new

>>10537703
>extreme
>that

>>10537708
But not all sweet dresses use this kind of poof, this is not normal amounts of poof for sweet?

>>10537736
But sweet can use it to begin with while you won't find it in goth and classic.

>>10537740

>>10537741
That's not even extreme poof, try again.

>thread on casual fashion
>sweet lolitas calling everything black "gothic"

>>10537741
>can't tell the difference between a bustle and poof

>>10537300
This is a pretty poor example and would confuse any newbie desu, the right dress is the exact same high waist poof sleeve cut as the left. If you marked out the dress hem, faces, and the bags they would basically look the same.

Can we stop with all the lolita stuff? I just want a thread for more everyday cute looks like himekaji and larme, you guys have practically the entire rest of the board except for a few cosplay threads.

>>10537771
sure, post some then

>>10537798

>>10537800
anyone got some Corona accessories?

>>10537798
This is cute, what’s it from?

>>10537802

>>10537803
axes femme

>>10537804

>>10537806

>>10537807

>>10537808
that's all for now

>>10537802
I got mask chain from some handmade accessory maker at Xianyu, probably work for glasses too.

>>10537816
Wow that's really pretty. I'm afraid a metal chain would snag on my hair. Is it comfortable to wear?

>>10537822
It is, and helps preventing the mask to get lost.

>>10537740
There are many sweet dresses that don’t require big poof. You’d look like an idiot trying to wear BTSSB’s babydoll JSK with that level of poof

What brands are featured in Larme magazine these days?

>>10537816
do you know how long this is?

>>10537940
65cm
https://market.m.taobao.com/app/idleFish-F2e/widle-taobao-rax/page-detail?id=631175789119

>>10536818
I'm 175 and they're right under my knees if that helps

>>10536818
I'm 163, and LL boots hit right above the knee for me while standing, so if I was sitting they would move forward and be at knee

>>10538199
>>10538217
damn, I'm right in-between those measurements, so it would hit me mid-knee. i feel like over or under the knee both look intentional, but mid-knee would look odd.

>>10533862
no you cunt. this thread is for other types of japanese fashion and makeup

>>10540209
thanks, i didn't want to say it, but I'm glad you did

>>10540209
Anon meant because the majority of the posts in those tags are bullshit because it's a slur in japan.

>>10540209
Anon meant because the majority of the posts in those tags are bullshit tag spam because it's a meme, which isn't exactly related.

With so many brands are closing, I want to know which new stores are out there, Amilige in Laforet aside.

With so many brands closing their irl stores, I want to know which new ones are out there, Amilige aside which seems to pop up everywhere.

>>10540209
tell that to the idiot who clearly doesn't know japanese tags or trends. she doesn't even know what slug makeup refers to. (it's the comically large namidabukuro by the way, not the rest of the makeup)

>>10540321
travas tokyo, wrouge, and jamie would be new-ish too. there's also a new secondhand store for harajuku fashion named anonenone.

>>10540339
forgot kry clothing in shibuya109, somehow most of the stores in there are new brands that do dark fashion with edgy photo manip prints.

>>10540323
the idk part was not idk what slug make-up is, it was idk the japanese tags for it because that's not something I've ever looked up, so anon can go find a the japanese characters for slug make-up and plug it into IG just as well as I can

>>10540533
anon in >>10540323 meant because you refered the person to the landmine meme tags, which is only barely related to that makeup because most of the time it's just byojaku

>>10540533
don't suggest irrelevant tags that are barely anything but a shitty meme trend, then.

>>10540546
the eyebags being discussed were specifically the ones in my posts >>10532163 so I provided the tags I have for those specific posts. Stay mad that your special prefect japanese fashion has edgy thots in it just like any other country.

>>10540603
But the point is that it's meme tags and therefore unrelated, it's like if you would suggest #doomergirl.

>>10540603
you sound like the same type of idiot that insited on otasa hime to be relevant despite being a jp meme

>>10540603
the tag you suggested, legit or not, is still irrelevant to the question and won't lead to more examples of the eyebag look.

>>10540209
we do this once a month i swear to god. that tag is a joke

what are other cute casual stores like peco club's older stuff and WC?

>>10540846
Avail does depending on the season, but they only have a pointless online catalog that you can't order from so you would need an agent to visit one of their many shops.
https://www.shimamura.gr.jp/avail/

I'm not sure what to think of Ank's bandana pattern releases.

>>10540945
It's just paisley

>>10540958
They call it バンダナ柄 either way.

The 80's otome brand Betty's Blue is coming back and people in their 40s are raving on Twitter.

Their new Twitter:
https://twitter.com/bettysblue_pr

>>10540979
Never heard of them cause I'm half that age but hells yeah this shit is cute

>>10540981
They basicly used to do a similar patchwork design as Pink House but also had a casual cartoon print line.

>>10540991

>>10540991
Hysteric Betty was their edgy line.

>>10540991

>>10541000
A lot of younger people get their stuff secondhand as PH alternative.

Any good recommendation for some Haori coords/outfits worn in a more casual way?
I bought a nice one in japan but i feel too weeby wearing it. I see a "how to wear" guide with drawings but most instagram posts are selling Haori or shown over kimono.

>>10541521
I recommend looking @ https://twitter.com/nana_sweets7 , it's basicly all she wears.

Aika Electronics seems to go into shoe manufacturing now to match their other cyber pop stuff.

Is there any general J-fashion Discord servers? I'd like to talk about current trends and news and such and maybe make some friends

Can I get recommendations for brands with cute jewelry/hair accessories? I love lolita but I've been getting interested in more casual looks. I'm especially interested in earrings, bracelets, scrunchies, and smaller hair clips than you find in lolita.

>>10541521
Sousou is a Japanese shop that incorporates traditional and modern style. It can be a little matronly because their clientele is older but there's some cute inspo.

>>10542225
Ma*rs has a lot of accessories lately that would also work well with casual outfits, but you probably can get similar for cheaper on Taobao.

best winter footwear for more casual jfashion looks? for example, when you still want to feel cute but the weather is so extreme that you simply can't risk ruining a coord.

>>10542279
they also have nightmare fuel levels of photoshop. what is happening?

>>10542627
They're great in real life, don't worry about it

>>10542627
that's just how staff pics are for most brands nowadays

>>10542211
I need to know too! Been searching for one for a while

>>10542211
There is Lace Garden but it's mostly flooded with larping teens.

Does anyone have any recommendations for himekaji style in bigger sizes? My bust is too big for JD and it would probably be too short too. I’ve found some patterns to make some dresses but I wondering if there’s anywhere I can buy before I put in the effort.

>>10543128
himekaji is pretty much dead nowadays but you may find some suitable pieces at angelsize

>>10543128
jd isn't himekaji you retard.

>>10543128
jd is himegyaru

DearMyLove is starting a new subbrand for older audiences.

>>10543823
curious to see what products the will make but pic rel looks identical to the stuff they release now

>>10543832
Not like if there weren't pics.

>>10543823
Kind of curious what makes this more mature, like >>10543832 said it doesn't seem too different

>>10543929
Just compare it to their recent stuff, it's nowhere as decorated and looks more like a vintage dress.

>>10543943
it looks exactly the same.

>>10543950
How does >>10543823 look anything like that? Only thing is common is that it has a collar. You probably think this looks the same too.

>>10543950
you need glasses

>>10543953
They must think color is everything. Like of course they will keep muted girly color schemes, but it's so clear the "mature" line has less of the cute girly ribbons and embellishments.

>>10543953
Nta but not having a ribbon doesn't make any difference. You're an idiot.

>>10543961
If you think the only difference at their releases is ribbon you are clearly delusional.

>>10543964
The differences are too subtle to matter. Calm down.

>>10543968
What do you do on a jfash board when everything with ruffles is the same according to you?

>>10543968
>ott lace-flooded harness dresses are the same as solids without detai
bait

you guys are really grasping at straws here. dearmylove has a huge range of items, since it's dreamv's main line. rose barely looks any different from most of the dml items, other than the ones you're cherry picking.

>>10543968
totally subtle

>>10543973
you seem to confuse yumetenbo with dlm, dearmylove is edgy girly stuff aimed at teens

>>10543973
...dreamv's main line is yumetenbo

>>10543975
>gets called out for cherrypicking
>doubles down

>>10543973
>dearmylove has a huge range of items, since it's dreamv's main line
their main line is yumetenbo, just saying

>>10543977
anon, yumetenbo is the brand... dearmylove is one of their lines/sub-brands (like diable braiser) that's been around since they catered to gyaru.

>>10543982
>thinks this is the same as everything on dml

>>10543984
oh, i see, you guys are newfags. carry on then.

>>10543986
anon, they arelease the majority of their items under their yumetenbo name which also the gal stuff was under, not dearmylove

>>10543989
are you clinically retarded or...?

>>10543988
>calls others newfag
>thinks yumetenbo and dearmylove are the same thing

>>10543992
Anon, I hate to break it to you but yumetenbo is the main company. Newlyme, Diable Baiser and DearMyLove are their clothing lines. Diable Baiser and DearMyLove did both used to cater to gyaru, along with a defunct line called Mary Rose. They are all produced by yumetenbo.

>>10543991
>using pic from 2012 as "proof"
>not knowing how long yumetenbo has been around
newfag

>>10543993
damn, all my clothes with yumetenbo tag must be imaginary then

>>10543994
What are you even talking about anymore? Anon stated that DML used to be gal, and it was. Why are you so upset? You guys clearly don't understand branding or clothing lines or anything.

>>10543993
yumetenbo has been around since 1998 and it didn't have subbrands until much later

>>10543996
Zhe thing is dml never has been their main line, it's just their oldest subbrand that still exists.

>>10543995
are you actually retarded? no one is saying dreamv doesn't release clothes, just that the other brands mentioned are their sub lines that they make. god you people are fucking stupid. first you can't deal with dearmylove having a mature brand outside of your massproduction crap and now you play dumb about how brand lines work.

>>10543999
It's definitely their main line right now.

do you retards realize you can't buy things from yumetenbo's brand itself anymore? you can only buy from their 3 sub brands.

>>10543975
This dress is not >>10543823 the one featured here which looks near identical to the standard white collar dresses that have been releasing. If they’re going through the trouble of making a sub brand, I just would have expected more of a difference in the items.

>>10543994
Deary, which is written right on the image, is the old sub brand that used the carry this specific style of clothing. I always thought that Deary turned into Dear My Love.

>>10544072
It did. I don't know what anons were talking about.

>>10543995
i would go through all of my hundreds of items i bought from dreamv to prove you wrong, but other anons seem to have done that.

>>10544070
>If they’re going through the trouble of making a sub brand, I just would have expected more of a difference in the items.
They had a survey regarding what their customers want and somehow they took "clothes suitable for age 30+" as the same cuts but without decorative details.

This is probably going to be controversial but I'll say it anyway because I think it's really cool to see new fashions emerge. Jirai kei is definitely the new alt/niche fashion coming out of Japan, along with mass-production kei and Peep girls based on this article from last year from Rakuten's lab Rakuma (who bought out fril marketplace). https://lab.fril.jp/jk_summer_fashion_2020

Jirai kei and mass-production got popular enough for Dear My Love and Wego to market it. Pic related from Dear My Love.

Article from Lafary about Jirai (aka Lamdmine/Mine woman)

Google translate of Landmine and Mass-production fashions:

"<Mine-based fashion>
'Mine-based' fashion features black items centered on monotone and mine-based makeup that emphasizes teary eyes and teardrops with red eyeshadow. It is described as "darkness is cute" and is also called "Menhera fashion" in a style that expresses "a person who looks cute but the contents are sick".
When I interviewed a JK user of "Rakuma", "I think that" mine system "has spread among underground idol fans. In particular, that chan of the former" You'll Melt More ", who is popular as a" sick idol ". Isn't that the reason for the boom? "

"<Mass production type fashion>
'Mass production type' fashion has permeated mainly the female college student (JD) generation due to the fashion of fast fashion, but for the JK generation, "mass production type" fashion is more narrowly defined by Johnny's fans. It refers to the so-called "mass-produced otaku" fashion that has spread around people.
Items with frills and ribbons and mini backpacks are standard, and the colors are beige, white, and pink, which are cute and feminine styles, and are popular among teens. According to a survey of "favorite idol artists" (N = 761) conducted for teenage women in April last year, "Johnny's" (36.1%) was the most popular user, so "mass production" fashion is JK. No wonder it's popular with."

I could see these catching on with a western audience but the names are so silly, especially “mass production” which ti me just sounds like “fastfashion-kei”

>>10544118

Whoops, forgot to mention quotes are from the Rakuma Lab article

>>10544070
Dressing like a pilgrim is in now?

>>10544118
both of these terms are tongue-in-cheek that are gaining traction due to marketing. they're also not even that different than things in larme for the past few years. (also they look like absolute shit, especially with the oversized trend)

>>10544094
this makes me sad, i hate that becase my 30s are approaching im expected to like bows and frills less

>>10544244
fuck em anon. i still wear 2010s himegyaru and i am over 30 now. i will wear what i want til i die. even if i have children. i wear my clothes to work and wherever.

>>10544278
100% this

Is Pinkhouse just Mori? It's gorgeous

>>10537024
It's not lolita and is quite western, but dandy fashion with floral prints can be really nice

>>10544314
eww fucking leave

>>10544311
pink house is more natural kei, which is close to mori but more a prarie/country version.

>>10544311
I think Pink House is basically just Pink House. The girls who wear it call it pink house fashion or general "cute style" and it's not really worn by Mori or other street styles. *shrug*

>>10544334
Why is this thread full of newfags now?

>>10544278
Same I'm nearly 28, having large amounts of disposable income for importing fashion is unrealistic and expecting people to just drop it because of a number is really boring

>>10544339
What is it then? natural kei isn't exactly a real style and when I look at pinkhouse on instagram it's never consistently tagged with anything

>>10544344
>natural kei isn't exactly a real style
it's literally just the alternate name.

>>10544346
For what? Show me

>>10544350
If you don't know then sit down. You probably get mad when people say gal instead of gyaru.

>>10544352
>duhh newfags me expert no tell you on my secret public forum

>>10544354
you seem upset.

>>10544122
mass-production aka ryousangata literally means "basic bitch" in japanese

>>10544118
The actual name of those "fashions" is just girly (ガーリー) in japanese, the terms you use are just memes which is why they sound silly because it's based on personality stereotypes, jirai is no different to the western "doomer girl" meme.

>>10544608
this. and the landmine girl is some japanese incel shit that girls are making fun of.

>>10544311
Pink House covers such a wide range of visuals, it would be stupid to call it mori considering they also make bright pink stuff with teddy bears.

>>10544346
anon, natural kei literally only refers to eco-friendly fashion in japan, it's not an alternative name for mori

>>10544613
natural kei is the name given to pinkhouse by the west, as a mistranslation of country kei.

>>10544616
which is not the same as an alternate name for mori

>>10544608
doomer girl meme lasted for like 3 days. this is more like egirl or if you think back to an older example, hipsters. everybody clowns on it, but it keeps being a trend regardless.

>>10544667
Not really, considering it literally is just a meme, all search results about in japanese are about the personality of the girls.

>>10544667
>doomer girl meme lasted for like 3 days.
i wish, you even have own online stores that advertise themself as "doomer fashion" now and this is no different

>>10544192
>>10544608
>>10544676
If this is just a meme then why are brands releasing collections for it? Why are former gyaru brands like Ma*rs and DML pivoting towards producing this style? (Pic related is mars)
I get that landmine started out as an insult and probably got memed, but now it looks like young people have embraced it and reclaimed that word. Remember, Menhera was an insult too but that turned into a full-blown subculture.

>>10544892
Better example from Mars

>>10544892
>>10544894
what is marketing? the fashion being a meme doesn't preclude brands from trying to profit. also mars/primelo brand owner is crazy. menhera is also not as big as people think, we just have a skewed perspective because of social media.

>>10544892
they#V ealready produced that kind of thing before the new term came around, they just use popular slang to generate a profit just like how they used to do it with "otasa hime" before which also was just another term for the same girly style

The have ealready produced this kind of clothing before the new term came around, they just use popular youth slang to generate a profit like how they also used to do it with "otasa hime" in the past which was just another term for the same girly style

>>10544892

other way around, it was a subculture first and then turned into an insult

>>10544179
>Dressing like a pilgrim is in now?

Hell yeah, the time for my aesthetic is nigh

>>10544915
well the term menhera was an insult initially, and the fashion was called yami kawaii before all the drama.

>>10544937
it was not, lurk moar

>>10544937
Anon, the term Menhera for vent art fashion has been around since the 00s. Yamikawaii only refers dark color fashion in Japan and was coined in 2015 as opposite to Yumekawaii.

>>10544939
are you new?

>>10544940
This is incorrect. And this isn't even the thread for this stuff. It's been discussed to death in the yumekawa/fairy kei thread since it's closely related to it. Take this conversation there.

>>10544941
are you?

What happened to Yumetenbo's larme line? I remember its name was "mon something"

>>10544997
Mon Lily? It was killed off in 2019.
https://www.dreamvs.jp/shop/pages/index_mll.aspx

>>10544913
>the brands themselves use this slang to refer to the style BUT we can't because...

>>10545011
because the styles already have etablished nails and using stupid slang is the main reason why people always thing fashions are dead just because it goes by a different name usually, see when people tried to make "neo lolita" a thing

>>10545011
because the style always had a established proper name with ガーリー, and using contemporary slang is the main reason why people always think fashions are dead because you won't find any new content anymore after a while, see when people tried to make "neo lolita" a thing

>>10545014
This isn't just general girly style though. It has gothic influences and yamikawaii makeup. Looking up ピープス gets generally girly and feminine coords
>>10544913
Otasa isn't the same style, the hair and makeup is very different (like more low effort) for it and the outfits are more casual.

>>10545036
>Looking up ピープス gets generally girly and feminine coords
You do get it searching ダークガーリー tho.

>>10545036
>ピープス
>generally girly and feminine coords
what

>>10545036
>This isn't just general girly style though. It has gothic influences and yamikawaii makeup.
Which is ダークガーリー in japanese since forever.

>>10545054
>>10545036

>ピープス
whoops, copy/pasted the wrong word. Meant ガーリー

>>10545056
Searching ダークガーリー (dark girly) on instagram gets only a few results. Searching 地雷系女子 (landmine woman) gets thousands of results.

From what I can tell (being unable to read Japanese characters) it looks like mainly brands use the term "dark girly" but you get a actual people using "landmine woman" and some articles.

>>10545080
the landmine tag is flooded by tagspammers nowadays tho

>>10545080
most of those are chinese...

Can we all at least agree that Yumetenbo is shit?

>>10544311
Pink House is Pink House

>>10544278
Same. 2010 Liz Lisa was the apex of humanity’s sartorial achievement as far as I’m concerned, and it’s so cheap secondhand now

>>10544606
So it’s the modern version of gyaru

>>10545200
yeah it's like saying you can't use the term amerikaji because it should be called gyaru. these styles may be girly, but they have their own distinct features.

>>10545231
but the thing is that the terms are first and foremost insults, not styles, you won't find anyone calling themself that on snap sites like kera or tokyo-fashion

>>10545156
anons obviously can't tell when terms are of chinese origin

>>10532021
I'm so sad this sold out before I discovered the brand, new to pinkhouse but not lolita, do they ever do rereleases?

>>10545479
>you won't find anyone calling themself that on snap sites like kera
bazinga

>>10546137
the japanese text literally says the outfit is based on the stereotype, not the person calling themself landmine

learn how 2 japanese please instead of google translate

>>10545856
>do they ever do rereleases?
no

>tiktok sanrio bitches zoomers have discovered jirai
it's over before it even began

The pandemic’s claimed another premium ladieswear brand. Lodispotto sub-brand Mille Fille Closet just announced its closure:

>Thank you for your continued patronage of mille fille closet. This time, mille fille closet said, "We have 20 collections and will be suspended. We are sorry for the sudden announcement. We made our debut in July 2017 and it has been three and a half years. We hope you all love the brand. I was able to grow. From now on, I will continue to provide cute clothes at LODISPOTTO, which was the catalyst for the birth of Mille. Thank you for your continued support. I will continue to "cute" in everyone's hearts. "Mille fille closet by LODISPOTTO Send message"

I love Millefille and I am sad ;_; I’ve only ever bought one dress on a 70% price cut and everything else secondhand, but the quality is head and shoulders above Lodispotto in terms of attention to detail and fabric choices.

I think it’s been a difficult niche to occupy over the past year when a lot of brands have segued into loungewear. Even Liz Lisa’s been selling more hoodie/sweaters/roomwear lol. Onespo closed recently too which surprised me a bit because they were still appearing at every TGC.

>>10560428
>What the fuck does emoticon use have to do with summerposting?
you need to be 18+ to use this site

Liz Lisa can release all crappy trend clothes they want to stay afloat, since they still release cute dresses every other month

>>10560428
>>10560298
y'all are both retarded, one assuming she's talking to a single person rather than multiple and the other defending emoticons on an image board.

>>10560167
Mille Fille would've stayed alive if their prices weren't so ridiculously high
Just because they put 5 more ribbons on a dress that looks like Liz Lisa and is made of polyester, doesn't mean they can charge 200 bucks for it

Why does the fabric on Liz Lisa dresses look like aliexpress polyester in picture closeups? Is it actually any better irl.

>>10565322
which dress anon?

>tfw liz lisa is literally using broken earrings for their stock and model photo

>>10565367
it's clearly on purpose, it's extremely easy to shoop another pearl on.

>>10565367
the other two colorways don’t have this issue... they couldn’t have taken two minutes to shop another pearl on?

Liz Lisa stopped making 'A' charms,I guess they weren't selling well. Do you think the 'H' could pass for an 'A' on the new charm bracelet release?

>>10565452
pic on bracelet

>>10565452
I guess so, maybe it's intentional to look like both to safe $.

>>10565452
They might sell those charms on taobao, been finding lots of jfashion accessories on there..

Idk how to feel about that new deep pink color, it’s nice but they sell nothing else in that shade

>>10565645
I'd be worried a Taobao one will take 2 months to show up and then will still somehow not fit the bracelet band properly.

their recent sanitizer case was dark pink, and in past years they had grape and wine themed stuff that came with dark-pink ribbon. i have some kind of shoe-themed LL skirt i got on cc in this color as well. I wonder if they are planning to do more with it soon.

>>10565452
>tfw i want this but none are my initial
i cant even buy random letters and spell something stupid cuz there's no vowels

Do you have any favourite brands that are on runway-webstore.com? I need to add something to my order for a discount lol

money hack: use suspenders you already own n flip em

Do any Japanese brands sell kawaii pill cases? Pic related are not cute

beware of shopping at rojita‘s new sub brand R Mine
all but 2 sweaters are taobao sourced items
