Nobody likes to own up to visiting nightlife photo sites, but I'll admit that it's my guilty pleasure (especially when I'm in the frame and wearing Goth Loli). My current favorite is The Vagabond Set, a collection of party photography and street snaps from Tokyo, Japan. Quite a few Gothic, Punk, and Sweet Lolitas caught Sanna's eye as she roved the streets...
These street looks are from February and March 2008, giving us a sense of how Japanese youths are wearing Lolita at this very moment. Oversized hair bows remain big (hee hee), and the trend seems to be moving westward, if the latest Juicy Couture ads are any indication.
The Vagabond Set does a nice job of taking us inside Tokyo clubs and capturing the wild fashion within. Check out the galleries and blog - I'm sure you'll spot a few Lolis and start checking ticket prices to Tokyo!
"Oooh, heaven is a place on Earth..." If Belinda Carlisle's right, then it must be h.NAOTO's Gothic/fetish fashion boutique in Harajuku. "Constantly evolving, constantly metamorphosing, "hEAVEN" is the gallery-space where the latest from h.NAOTO is breathed. A creative gallery shop where Fashion and Art intersect."
Come to think of it, a more accurate store name might be hELL, especially after reading the brand descriptions:
NAOTO SEVEN - Dark and pop and grotesque. The seven deadly sins and punishments.
channel H - Pop and nonsensical otaku culture and cosplay.
XXX RUBBER - S&M, bondage, scatolo; a deep hardcore world of pornography. (Whoa...)
DARK RED RUM - The shiver-inducing world of occult. The fearful scheme of bloody hell-raising black magic. (Double whoa...)
SF-Science Fucking - A melancholic, retro 50s sci-fi fantasy world.
