† How were you introduced to Gothic Lolita fashion?
I don’t really remember when. I’ve always been a fan of dark and gothic themes ever since I was a child, (Tim Burton is my greatest idol xD) I’ve always been really interested in everything that follows this type of visual beauty. I probably started going deeper into Gothic Lolita after I saw Mana-Sama, who now is one of my greatest idols. Other influences, obviously, come from Anime, Rozen Maiden for example :3 After I discovered GothLoli fashion, I began, as an artist, developing GL outifts for my own characters, which just makes me want to know more and more about it! XD
† What do you find appealing about GL style and culture?
What I find most appealing is the contrast between Gothic Lolita’s beauty, delicateness, care for details,forms, textures and patterns and, at the same time, the darkness and mysteriousness that it holds. It’s not just a fashion style, it’s a way of living and thinking.
† What are your favorite GL clothing brands?
My favorite one is definitely Moi même Moitié, because it’s clothes are simply designed for perfection (by Mana,of course XD). I also love H.Naoto’s creations, which sometimes mixes classical lolita styles and modern gothic aspects. I also love many other Japanese GL brands ^^” Too many to count, though.
† Any other comments?
Don’t mind what people say about the way you look, dress and the way you are. Always be yourself both inside and outside. Don’t be afraid to call attention and even to cause people to make fun of you, as long as you’re doing your job on making society a more interesting and beautiful enviroment.
