Kurumi’s wardrobe, around 2003*

EDIT: I’ve tried to save these pages to the wayback machine and only get error messages. The site address is: http:// kurumi. gi. xrea.com/ index.html (not directly linking in case you get an error or security warning message). I can still view the site just fine so i’m not sure why this happens.

*I’ve chosen photos that I presume appeared in the earlier version of her website based on page titles, but the only parts I can confirm as being from 2003 are the velveteen skirt and coat and the bears. I believe all the main pieces and possible even the hair accessories here were handmade. Kurumi was idol Marie Suzuki’s stylist (who i’ve shown here before). The only items that are not handmade are the Cornet blouse in the cape jsk image which you can see from the tag, maybe the mini hats and bonnet, and the JM skirt in the first pic. The strawberry skirt has the same strawberry motifs and placement as a Heart E skirt but i’m unsure if it is Heart E or just inspired by it.

Moka’s ultra 90s wardrobe in 2005.

I picked out the most lolita ones that I could find, but there are lots of other styles that she took influence from. Almost all of these use pieces from Maid Lane Revue, combined with off-brand, vintage, Milk, JM, Here There and Vivienne Westwood.
