GOTHIC LOLITA PURSES, CUTE DESIGNER BAGS: MODAREVISE. MANGA FASHION, CLASSICAL LOLITAS, INNOCENT WORLD DRESS.
Haven’t worn Lolita dresses in a while. I must say, it’s nice to be a girlie-girl. (Every once in a while.)
ModaRevise sent me this lovely lace purse, inspired by Gothic Lolita fashion and manga illustrations. Indie designer Stella Chang draws inspiration from art and subcultures, refusing to be confine her creativity to the usual runway looks.
As you can see on their blog, ModaRevise’s “an art house that designs and a design house that draws.” All the handbags are limited collections, extending into multimedia projects: photo installations, a gallery of hybrid apparel.
I’m wearing the Lola Satchel, which Stella describes as “summer passion through Gothic black lace.” She custom-dyed the leather into pink and finished the design with an antique brass twist chain (doubling as top handles and a cross body satchel). Here’s how I styled it:
Lolita dress: Innocent World, from Closet Child
Short jacket with trailing sleeves: Marble, from Marui One Shinjuku
Strappy Goth Lolita shoes: Leche by Yosuke, from Marui One Shinjuku
Pattern tights: Vivienne Westwood, from Marui One
Black beret: Emily Temple Cute, from Closet Child
Pink feather headband: handmade by my friend Rose (a familiar face on this blog)
Yukiro and I can’t wait to see Stella’s new collection of dresses… her range and creativity are astonishing!
Stella sweetly offers a 10% discount to anyone who discovered her through my blog. When you place an order, email customerservice@modarevise.com with “Referred by Carmina” in the subject.
And here’s something to maooo about. Stella’s holding a contest, where she’ll give away the Georgiana Clutch (retail $250.00) once the Moda Revise Facebook page reaches 300 likes. Simply Like the page to enter.
Don’t you think someone should make a “Basil Farrow” purse? Til that day, you can view and purchase ModaRevise’s cute designs on the official website and Handbago (keyword modarevise).

TOKYO, JAPAN GOTH ALTERNATIVE FETISH CLUBS, NIGHTLIFE, EVENTS. TOKYO DECADANCE BAR, MIDNIGHT MESS DANCE PARTY.
Hello Tokyo, Japan! Spookyville is back in black. And we’ve made a frightening new video about our nightcrawl to Decadance Bar and Midnight Mess. Scroll down to witness the Gothic madness…
Yukiro Dravarious has gotten ghostlier than ever. La Carmina wears:
Bone necklace: My new favorite. From the Monomania shop in Laforet Harajuku.
Demented panda skirt: Got it for a steal at Kinji, the secondhand store in Harajuku (shop photos to come).
Lace top and tank: Old things
Blue shoes: from the B+ab store in Hong Kong.
Hair bows: gifted from Sproos Shop (more photos here)
Our first stop: Tokyo Decadance Bar. We ran into Kanae downstairs at Christon Cafe, the cathedral-themed restaurant. Love her military fashion show.
Two Gothic Lolita-like girls sat at the entrance of Decabar, indulging in cake! (I like how they put their personal spin on Lolita fashion.)
Drinking absinthe while being zapped with neon lights.
Tokyo Decadance Bar has a new design, highligting the colorful flyers and cybergoth fashion. (More photos of the bar in this post.)
An evil, leering face painted on the wall. (I think it’s supposed to be bartender Kengo.)
And in the glass case: a kigirumi head. (From a full-body anime doll costume.)
Time to dance all night at Midnight Mess. We met up with Gothic beauties Kana, Cotton Bale, Raisu.
While waiting for the doors to open, we filmed a funny video — please watch it here! (You can also see footage from Kenzo-A’s Rituals party.)
There’s nothing like the streets of Tokyo at night.
Kenny Creation and a blue-haired lass.
Lovely to see Selia again.
On stage, she turns into a nightingale, singing opera in multiple languages. (You can see a snippet here.)
Mistress Maya, who runs this dark event, ties up a new victim and drips hot candle wax over her body.
Don’t you wish you could join our nightcrawl? You can see the action up-close in the video above and on YouTube (please subscribe).
Where are these Tokyo Goth Industrial clubs? How do you get in? For full info, including addresses and maps, please read my Club Guide.
Are you happy to see that Tokyo’s Gothic scene is thriving? What do you think of the outfits; which are your favorites?
PS: Congrats to Seba’s band DNR: they’re playing at V-ROCK (largest Visual Kei music fest) in Tokyo, along with Gackt, Versailles, Vivid, Sophia, Mix Speakers Inc, Black Veil Brides and more Jrock greats!
