GOTHLOLI OF THE WEEK #24: VALENTINA.
† Name/URL: Valentina
† Age: 26
† Location: Milano (Italy)
† How were you introduced to Gothic Lolita fashion?
I met the Lolita style reading books about Japan and manga. I immediately loved the Harajuku girls!!!
† What do you find appealing about GL style and culture?
The Gothic Lolita girl has an irresistible charm: we are always baby in a world of dream…
† What are your favorite GL clothing brands?
My favourite Gothic Lolita brand is surely ‘Baby the Stars Shine Bright’, because I think about it as very romantic and so cute. Colors, tones and accessories seem to come from a beautiful tale, a fable. At the same time, I love Vivienne Westwood’s style, that’s quite exactly the opposite thing, whith sadomaso tools, pins and blades, in perfect punk style.
† Any other comments?
My artwork are inspired by the Lolita culture and my thesis at “Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera” called ‘The Concept of Kawaii in the Contemporary Art Japanese’. I love sweet Kawaii accessories… Kissu at all ^_-

GOTHLOLI OF THE WEEK #23: JUDE.
† Name/URL: Jude
† Age: 37 (far too old really but what the hell)
† Location: London, UK.
† How were you introduced to Gothic Lolita fashion?
Perhaps about 5 years ago by my good friend Manko, I’m not really sure to be honest. I think of Strawberry Switchblade and Lena Lovitch and that goes back well into the 80s.
† What do you find appealing about GL style and culture?
I love the cute girlish style of it all.
† What are your favorite GL clothing brands?
I’ve no idea of brands, I just take the look and re-invent it with the right accessories. My friend Manko made the head band/cloche.
† Any other comments?
EGL is a good medium to explore as a male into glam trashy drag. I like the word “punktorian” and use it as a general reference. If anyone likes what I’ve created and can help or further advise me in this look that would be much appreciated, or if you just want to be friends cool too. xx Thanks!!
