Lolita Chic

Does anyone know where this is from?

This one has been coming for a long time!!!
It's already taken over the streets of Japan (namely Harajuku +surrounding areas) as prevously stated, and is quickly making it's way around underground +sub-cultures in Europe and America.
The full blown gothic lolita is probably unlikely to emerge as a fashion, most probably stay pretty much underground, but already a momentum of it's diluted self is growing and designers are picking up on the underground as often they do.
Wether this is after having seen the subculture, or merely in reaction to the recent trend for "ladylike" and prim fashions I don't know. But there's definately a rising...
I kinda hope it does continue to influence as I like the style in a diluted form.

It's official now...

Do Vogue people come to the Fashion Spot maybe?

I've been noticing these advertisements lately. The bags themselves aren't anything much, but the replacement of models with near Chucky dolls is quite something...

love the dresses from viktor&rolf!!!!

especially skinny girls would look good with this trend

I really like this trend, and I agree that it makes sense to come off of the ladylike idea into a childlike one. It's also interesting to note that there are a number of Lolita-like models out there as of the last couple of years...or at least a few big names. Gemma Ward and Lily Cole come to mind.

V&R's dresses are simply amazing.

Bags from YSL Rive Gauche's newest accessories collection, they seemed very Gothic Lolita.

not sure what I think of it being splashed all over style.com's page. it does seem we have some spies lurking.
I prefer gothic lolita...it's edgier and fewer people will be trying it.

I came across this site which I've absolutely fallen in love with: http://www.babyssb.co.jp/ (baby the stars shine bright)

the clothes are too adorable...it seems to be a mix of gothic lolita and sweeter, more innocent stuff.
