Full Description
The origin of the Gothic Lolita fashion movement traces back to Osaka in the mid-1990s when teenagers adopted Gothic fashion in response to the clothes worn and promoted by Japanese Gothic rock bands. Gothic Lolita applies the aesthetics of Gothic fashion to the childlike, pretty Lolita fashion that draws much of its inspiration from Victorian style and Edwardian fashion. This street fashion has spread to art and to an entire Gothic Lolita punk lifestyle. Also included is information on the materials used by each artist, how-to draw and illustrate guidelines, and a glossary of terms for drawing lifelike Gothic Lolita manga and anime characters.
