“I want to become a lolita” you say. So become one, I reply. “What can I do to look like a lolita?” I have no words to reply to this. You need a headdress, don’t you? And a petticoat. “Is this coordinate strange?” “Is it not wrong for lolita?” Why do you want to do lolita? “Because it’s trendy, because my friends do it…” If that’s the case, you have no right to wear lolita. If you just do what the others do, you will look like a lolita, But I want you to think about something. Who do you live for? You think you want to be yourself, but you are afraid of isolation. You yell that you want to be free, but you take comfort in following convention. When you are praised for something you don’t even feel comfortable with, are you really satisfied? Girls who wear Vivienne Westwood but don’t even know the Sex Pistols. Even when wearing a jersey, a princess is a princess. My lolita rules are mine alone. So you are the only one who can find your own lolita rules. My God and your God are different, aren’t they? There are angels who wear elegant dresses and play tamborines, But there are also angels wearing armor and carrying swords whose job it is to fight. I can’t answer your question. But there are a lot of hints all around you. You just haven’t noticed yet. What you feel is right is your answer. Sew frills onto the hem of your heart! Put a tiara on top of your soul! Have pride.

The series of six illustrations that comprises “Yoh’s Monochromatic World” is a mise-en-scene of sorts. Each portal or door opens to another room. The reduction of the palette to contrast emphasizes silhouette and contour, as is also the case with Mukuro’s photographs of his clothing designs. Both artists make a thematic link through this visual trope, fusing the figure in each image to her environs. So while there is a sense of perspective, we are left with a flattened, graphic quality. Centuries ago, clothing with a deep indigo blue, practically black, was a very traditional colour associated with farmers and lower-class samurai. At the same time, a contrasting high-fashion sensibility is created with the use of black, which has its roots in fashion, first influenced by designers such as Comme des Garçons and Yohji Yamamoto. The early work of these fashion pioneers was exclusively monochromatic and continues to be characterized by warped forms that are themselves a deconstruction of traditional silhouettes. - Japanese Goth - Tiffany Godoy, Ivan Vartanian
