Lolita Fashion ロリータ・ファッション History

     Lolitia Fashion / ロリータ・ファッション began in the 1980’s in Haraujuku Tokyo. When the Harajuku streets Omotesandoおもてさんど and Takashita-dori  たけしたどりwere closed on Sundays youths would gather in Yoyogi よーがい Park and listen to rock performances. Suddenly performers and the audience would dress in unusual and wild clothing which eventually became recognizable sub-cultures we now see in Japan today. The style it self is extremely influenced by Victorian clothing as well as those from Rococo. Lolita consists of mainly petticoats, headdresses, knee length skirts, Knee high socks, Mary Janes/high heel/platform shoes. Lolita clothing involves many different piece designs and good quality material thus making it cost a lot but many Lolita followers take it upon themselves to make their own clothes. Lolita’s are stereotyped to be perfect and  bake or knit but that isn’t always the case. Many just like to dress up and be fancy in Lolita attire.
