OSAKA ATELIER PIERROT & CHANTILLY: CLASSICAL LOLITA BOUTIQUE. GOTHIC LOLITA VICTORIAN ARISTOCRAT SKIRTS, JSK DRESSES.
Right across the street from the Innocent World Osaka boutique is Atelier Pierrot. Since these are two of my favorite Japan Lolita brands, I had a hard time deciding which Shinsaibashi shop to visit first.
Atelier Pierrot’s designs appeal to me because even the sweeter floral dresses have a dark and mysterious edge.
The fabrics are sleek; the jewelry and designs straight out of a Romantic novel.
Atelier Pierrot’s signature style is this high-waisted, corseted skirt with tiers and bustles. I own a dark blue one (photos here).
The signature skirt is updated with vivid purple and green striped fabric.
We tried on a few Gothic hats and bonnets. In the back, there’s a section for another favorite brand of mine…
Chantilly, by the lovely Fumiko! You may recall that I interviewed her for CNNGo. The cage skirt, the diamond-print bonnet modeled by Sachi of Kokusyoku Sumire… simply Classical Lolita heaven.

Mein gott, you guys rock! Nearly 200 comments in the Kanon Wakeshima post. I enjoyed reading the stories about your first musical experiences; thank you to everyone who took the time to share. Alas, there can only be one winner… and chosen by random number generator, the lucky person is psuedohappy. Don’t worry – you’ll have more chances to win prizes soon, as I’m giving away 5 PAIRS of tickets to Dir en Grey…
Have you tried on anything by Atelier Pierrot or Chantilly? Do you agree they’re one of the most exciting Goth Lolita brands out there at the moment?
