Fashion phenomenon: dark Lolita
The fashion whirlwind of dark Lolita
Following the "Loli -Ta" trend prevailing in 1970, a whirlwind of "Black Loli" has been blown up in the fashion circle. Of course, this is inseparable from the popular "Gothic". Some people call this Lolita plus Gothic style "post-Gothic", which also implies that people are beginning to be naive about Lolita. Why can't Lolita be sexy? Why can't Lolita represent the dark forces?
What is Lolita?
It originated from the novel Lolita published by the famous Russian-American writer Nabokov in 1955. In English, Lolita is an impure child, and this fashion trend is also a self-expression of resistance and a symbol of bad girls. But the Japanese regard Lolita as a synonym for innocent and lovely girls, and Lolita is a style of clothing. Lace inlaid clothes based on Rococo period in France and Victorian period in England are similar to western court clothes and doll clothes in17-18th century. In 2006, men in Tetsuya Nakashima performed a version of the combination of innocent and lovely girls and rebellious girls in The Story of My Next Wife. Today, Lolita's image has evolved for more than half a century. In fact, it's hard to tell what popular elements a Lolita girl should have, especially when it comes back to fashion street. You know, this is a place that neither misses tradition nor fully advocates modernity. Lolita's popularity here, we prefer to understand it as a kind of seeking to be different.
The crowd behind Lolita
If we understand the novel, we can simply understand it as a precocious sexy girl and her connection with pedophiles. In fact, what westerners call "Lolita" girls are those girls who wear miniskirts and mature makeup, but keep girls' bangs. Simply put, it is the situation that "girls are forced to wear girls' clothes". However, when "Lolita" spread to Japan, the Japanese regarded it as a synonym for innocent and lovely girls, and uniformly called girls under 14 as "Lolita generation", and their attitude became "girls wear less women's clothes", that is, mature women yearned for girls. And almost all the oriental "Lolita" dressed themselves up as the palace doll fashion in the movie "The Story of the Next Wife". Most consumers are 14-25, and there are many people in the lower age group, generally seventeen or eighteen years old, who don't need act young, and more are pursuing a new dress attitude, seeking their own way of life and releasing a rebellious spirit.
"Lolita" has been loved by a group of girls since it came out, whether it is Lolita's plot in life style or self-dressed, rebellious and lovely Lolita. In recent years, with the trend of clothing diversification, various style elements have become the hands of designers, full of changing design methods. In more and more different styles of clothing, under the fast-paced social environment and great pressure of work and study, girls do not hesitate to wear it.
Lolita fashion's Fashion Design Style
Lolita's outstanding design features are lace, skirt and princess sleeves. Black and white are the main colors of clothing. Rose and pink are also representative colors of Lolita dresses.
Fashion elites pay tribute to ignorance and rebellion. They play the game of refusing to grow up with the general public. It is not difficult to dress up young and sexy, so in recent years, lace and bows have become all the rage and the limelight has not diminished. French designers Josiane Pividal and Joseph even named their own clothing brand Lolita Lempicka (the combination of Lolita and Tamara de Lempicka's surname, a famous adaptation of American novelist Nabokov), which was inspired by the clothing style in the 1940s and balanced the modern and classical feelings with a slightly playful attitude in the ingenious overall style. The feminine tones are romantic and unique.
Chanel, which has always been mature and elegant, also interspersed many lovely and exquisite details of Lolita in the spring and summer of 2005, such as fluffy skirts, straw hats and huge bows. White is elegant and smart, and black is mysterious and lovely. Jean paul Gaultier brought the street Lolita style to his show, with a printed dress and a lace umbrella. Similarly, Gao Qiao Shield also performed well in 2005' s "Beautiful II". Ragged lace, decadent and unkempt hairstyle, viscera, skull, pudgy butterfly print, wig neck ornament, eyeball button, biscuit watch, etc. Turn all twisted dreams into. However, BUT BEAUTIFUL II kept the irregular car line used last season, scratched the inner cage with large and small eye buckles, inherited his usual rebellious style, and combined with Lolita.
The designer's brand-new interpretation of girls has been reflected in clothing and makeup-keeping a high waist cut close to children's wear and a skirt as short as possible, as well as natural fluffy long hair or Qi Mei Liu Hai's student head. The difference is that the refreshing color is changed to black, or bad patterns such as skeletons and pirates are simply added to the "pure" clothing. P.A. Col-Selection's latest spring and summer P. a. collection takes "dark Lolita" as the main line, and under the "rebellious" pirate style, it adds bubble sleeves, knee-length skirts, shorts and other elements. Moreover, the designer also did one or two tricks, with bare navel, off-the-shoulder mini halter top, bikini halter top and short coat with bare chest style, which stirred up the infinite charm of girls' sexiness.
