The New York Times had an article about a new fashion trend among teenagers, the Gothic Lolita. Think a mix of goth, Japanese anime with more than a dash of Alice in Wonderland. Mainly girls dress up in petticoats, babydoll dresses, bloomers, mary janes, and ruffled shirts. The whole look is really modest. The Gothic Lolitas look like well dressed little girl. It's really a look that parents can get behind, a complete 180 from the booty shorts and belly baring tops that most high school girls wear.
Amber Rutland of Brooklyn said of the look, “Our Lolita is an elegant young girl inspired by Victorian or Rococo times. They aspire to create a sense of nobility.”
Where did the inspiration for the look come from? Why Japan of course. And where can the clothes be bought. Mary Magdalene out of Japan ships internationally. And then there is FanplusFriend which has a huge selection.
