Gothic Lolita Outfit: How-To Video
"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."
