So ya… i’m going to introduce something that is not commonly seen in Singapore but is getting popular!
Lolita is a sub culture that is normally confused with cosplay! While i am into cosplay, i am more of a lolita person.
First off, there are basically a few types of lolita: Sweet loli, Gothic lolita, punk loli, elegant loli and finally, gore lolita.
Sweet loli is the kind where there are light colours like pink or blue with a mixture of white. This is the most common type right now (if i’m not wrong). I own a couple of sweet loli dress myself but only because i have only a pair of pink and white mary janes (lolita shoes)! Most common brands that do sweet lolita is ‘Baby, The Stars Shine Bright’, ‘Angelic pretty’ and ‘Innocent world’.
Gothic lolita is basically black and white which gives it a darker ‘feel’ to it.
Punk loli is the kind that Misa in ‘Death Note’ wore. It’s a mixture of punk and lolita, which i don’t realy like because to me, it’s either pure lolita or punk!
Elegant Lolita is the kind which maidens in the rococo period wore. It’s the most classic kind of lolita you can get.
Finally! Gore loli – the rarest kind of lolita that can be found in Singapore. It’s one of my favourites!!! This is where the dresses get stain with blood (real or not? idk) and looks something that have just popped out of a horror movie! Maybe i will try this when i have guts to pour fake blood onto my dress……..
Oh i almost forgot! Wild loli is the fusion of lolita and a kimono….
Anyway, there are a few stores in Singapore which supply these lolita dresses: Haru (mainly cosplay though), Black Alice(my favourite), Alice 99 and one at liang court which i dun really remember right now.
Black Alice is my favourite probably because they really do supply originals from ‘Baby, The Star Shine Bright‘ store in Japan. There are also other brands like ‘Mary Magdalene‘ and ‘Victorian Maiden‘. Currently, i’m waiting for ‘Alice and the pirates” line from BTSSB and the huge paycheck that is going pay for it! Though i won’t mind if someone pays for it *hint* *hint*!
