J-NEWS #3: JAPAN FASHION WEEK ROBOT RUNWAY MODEL, NE-NET COLLECTION, MAD TEA PARTY.
Hot off the blogs! Get your J-news here!
† Robot runway model debuts at Japan Fashion Week. She won’t get out of bed for less than 10,000 volts… HRP-4C was designed to look like an average Japanese woman, but I think her silver-and-black body makes her look more like a Storm Trooper. Mrs. Roboto can walk, move her arms and make facial expressions such as anger and surprise – but she isn’t yet ready to do daily chores or carry out Japan’s secret plans to take over the world…
† Sakura Syndrome launches website and new Japan&Anime Party. DJs and organizers Somnium in Tenebris and Mona Risa jumpstarted the interest in Japanese pop culture in Greece with their J-music events. Their new site has concert reviews, recent press and more. Check out the details for the April 3rd party, which includes a cosplay contest!
† Mad Hatter party takes over Royal/T maid cafe in LA. LA Weekly reports on the Alice in Wonderland-themed soiree, which attracted both LA’s doll collectors and Lolitas.
† Japan Fashion Week opened last Monday; sadly, h.NAOTO and other Goth Loli designers won’t be on the runways this year. I continue to be intrigued by Ne-net, a young label that isn’t exactly wearable but strikes a chord with me nonetheless. Conehead hair, boxing gloves and champion belts, wrestler masks like the ones from Swimmer…
I posted photos of Ne-net’s store in Laforet here; you can view more Japan Fashion Week runway photos on the website. Which designers caught your attention?
Keep up the contest entries! You have a great chance of winning this time around; there are TWELVE generous Goth/Lolita prizes up for grabs (3 gift certificates from Gloomth, 9 makeup prizes from Aromaleigh!)

Isn't “Chocolat” infectious? The Tune in Tokyo crowd got me hooked on Kaya.
Yes! Your article inspired me to use it as Song of the Day. :D
Thanks a lot Carmen ^ω^/ !
Oooohh Ne-net clothes in combination with these masks make people look like strange birds *_* I love the dollar-“made” outfit XDD These people sure don't lack in imagination XD
Yeah, they also remind me of those carnival clowns that you throw balls at .. http://comps.fotosearch.com/comp/DGV/DGV085/car…
Thanks. I had a major earworm with the song. I think it only left my head yesterday, after seven days of humming it.

It reminds me a bit of Road Runner.
Oooh… poor Coyote.
He won't catch Road Runner this time either! :(

'Even as a fashion model, people in the industry told us she was short and had a rather ordinary figure.' Also, 'The robot often looked surprised, opening its mouth and eyes in a stunned expression, when the demonstrator asked it to smile or look angry.' Haha.

I actually think a lot of those pieces are quite wearable. You'd just have to wear them with other things. The little dress the model is wearing under the jedi-esque hoody is actually pretty adorable. I'd even wear it with those tights too. :). the pants with the spikes on the sides of them are pretty cool, if worn in a more minimalist way.
oh and the robot model is creepy-cool.

I’d certainly wear some of those pieces!
