Grimoire, Shibuya. Images via Tokyo Telephone.Creating something new from something old has always been the result of Japanese ingenuity, and Japanese fashion is no exception. From lolita fashion’s reinterpretation of Victorian and Edwardian aesthetics mixed with gothic darkness or saccarine sweet prints, gyaru redefining conspicuous consumption and then subverting it, and to vintage menswear aficionados incorporating military items from opposing forces, it’s no wonder that contemporary Japanese fashion has become such a fantastic melting pot. It’s almost impossible to pick apart each individual style here, and Grimoire’s own dolly-kei is no exception. On the surface very similar to the laid back forest-dwelling mori girls, dolly-kei lovers take it once step further: perhaps the witches secretly ruling the forest, perhaps travelling sellers of ribbons and bobbins, the dolly style aesthetic is a touch more regal and imposing. -- source link
