GOTHLOLI OF THE WEEK #68: KASSANDRA.

Victorian clothing, Gothic Lolita parasol and skirts, elegant goth aristocrat girl.

† Name: Kassandra Leigh
† Age: 20 ( July 2008 )
† Location: Selden ( Long Island ) NY. USA.
† How were you introduced to Gothic Lolita fashion?
Somewhere along my Myspace travels when I was younger I’d come across a few profiles from overseas that dressed lavishly and I was in Love! Before finding out about Lolita-as a specific defined style I’d taken a lot of my wardrobe cues from the 1800s. So it was great to find a name to the look.
† What do you find appealing about GL style and culture?
Fashion is certainly something I love breathing all day long-but I’d probly suffocate if I had to stick to only one and a very defined one at that. So I’m happy to see people taking the Lolita look and weaving it into different styles like retro or decora and making their personalities shine through. Lavish and luxurious, the outfits require a great artistic skill to coordinate -let alone walk in some of the shoes! hehe Of course, I’m not a fan of some of the more catty aspects of the scene. I think like any other group of people, there are winners and losers–but I could do without that!
† What are your favorite GL clothing brands?
Antique Beast and Alice Auaa are probably my favorite established Lolita brands. But if John Galliano ever puts out a line for Lolita he could take the cake in a heartbeat!
† Any other comments (inspiration, tips, favorites)?
Clothes are so pricey!!! That’s why my favorite accessory is a bag of safety pins! Pinning up a normal skirt can make it look like a bustle. Tacking on some angelique netting to your shoulders can instantly make an outfit look haute. And best part- it costs maybe 3 bucks!

    Oh! I watch her on deviantart, I absolutely love her photos and style. Her coordinates with lolita and aristocrat style is so lovely! She totally deserves to be a Gothloli of the week. (^_-)

    I recognise her. Am always amazed she takes her own photographs when I can barely figure out how to use the timer on my camera.

    Antique Beast -wins-.

    I felt like one of the only people who'd heard of it. :/

    It feels so -indies-, as it's not disscuss as much as say, Moi mem Moitie,

    or one of the MAJOR brands.

    (I wonder if that's perhaps because it's -very- gothic styled? More so than the others?)

    Antique Beast is SO gorgeous – the pieces look and feel like they came from a past century. I think they're a little more ero-Loli; perhaps that's why it isn't as discussed?
