This past Friday, I was invited to see the cutest show of the week and it was also the best ending to New York Fashion Week. The Tokyo Fashion Festa was held at F.I.T and gathered the most recognized brands in Lolita, Gothic Lolita and other popular Tokyo styles rarely seen in NYC. The event was brought together by Madame Killer and focused on the many colorful and interesting fashion subcultures in Japan, in addition to the live music acts, the dedicated fans made the event very special and memorable. Check out the pics and enjoy the show!
Cute and pretty dresses from Angelic Pretty
Yes, ruffles and Baby, The Stars Shine Bright :)
Adorable kiddies at the show and love the leopard bolero, so fab!
Black Peace Now! The brand name for the Elegant Gothic Lolita or EGL
Loved the beautiful flamenco ruffles and the purple lace on the right.
The best part of the show were the fans, I met some wonderful people who made the event very special :)
You know the guy in the sailor outfit on the right stole the show, haha
Meet Katy! I saw her in the audience at the show, her outfit is lovely and she was giving me the 411 in Lolita fashion, she believes “Lolita is not only fashion but a way of life” I also understood the difference between Sweet Lolita (ruffles, pink and light baby colors) versus Elegant Gothic Lolita (dark hues with religious accessories e.g. crosses )
I absolutely loved her outfit, her skirt had a magical fairy tale print inspired by Snow White, amazing!
A Sweet Lolita!
As Katy told me “Lolita has no age, anyone can be a Lolita even if you’re in your thirties or forties” I have to agree, look at this elegant lady, every detail and accessory is beautiful, hmm… I’m starting to consider this Lolita fashion, lol.
After seeing these pics do you lovelies have a favorite look?
Great coverage – I can’t believe I didn’t hear about this!

As I twittered, I’m definitely in the goth camp myself. And the outfits the kids wear to the clubs in Tokyo is even wilder!

@dreamsequins
Hey sweety, I know I spoke to you briefly while you were texting but you seemed super busy doing interviews and being in front of the camera.
@trashtastika
I can’t wait to see your tokyo pics and see the club kids with their fab outfits!
@Maria
I’m glad you liked my coverage, I’m a bit of an otaku and anime fan, so I was super excited when I heard about the show, not to mention I was an old j-rock fan lol
Much love,
