GOTHIC LOLITA OUTFIT HOW-TO VIDEO: JAPANESE GOTH FASHION, HAIR MAKEUP TIPS.

“If you’re a girl and you want to nudge your way into some Fashion Week parties, you’d better look really fierce. But does this mean wearing as little as is humanly possible? No, no no no! I go the opposite direction… and cover everything up.”

“This is a look inspired by the Japanese underground fashion, Gothic Lolita. It’s morbid meets adorable.”

Four ways to stand out…
1) Goth makeup: black eyeshadow, black mascara, black black black.
2) Punk rock boots: they’re more comfortable than heels and kick major butt.
3) A Gothic Lolita outfit: petticoat, Victorian button down shirt, bell skirt with big bow.
4) Handmade accessories: such as a mini hat with trailing ribbons.

“Trust me: at Fashion Week, you don’t need to show skin… in order to get in.”

    Right now I'm sporting nazi boots, black jeans, and black button-up shirts and plenty of silver jewelry. I'm currently planning to cut my hair to look like Kozi around Gardenia time but all black and flat. For the most part I intimidate most people and intrigue others and it seems women in their mid twenties are usually most attracted to me(i'm 19.)

    Eww I would never wear as little as possible lol I dress up in visual kei more than gothic lolita, so I guess it's pretty much the same concept, although I mix it up and add black with other colors and other weird out-there stuff. Yesterday I wore a black fishnet, black middle-sleeve shirt, pink wifebeater, black skinny jeans with white boots (jeans tucked in), 2 hats, long black spider-web armwarmers, red candy clothes, black nail polish and 3 belts @_@ Of course my make-up was black and red…

    Prince Seiran says:

    That was inspired by Miyavi though… but next time, I do wanna try gothic lolita @_@ It's so cute!! AHH I love your outfit!! <33

    lacarmina says:

    Thanks! I don't really do anything with my hair… it's quite layered and highlighted, so any arrangement turns out punky. :)

    Thanks so much, Anna! I'm always up for a drink… but I've never been able to enjoy beer, not even in Berlin! Champagne, wine, and Jack/Diets are my staples. ^__^

    I have a similar shirt!, but in black. I loved your boots, they are adorable, with punk style but with a little femenine touch.
    Its true, it is not nessesary to show skin in order to look fierce or pretty, you look fantastic :)
