Gothic Lolita Style in the UK
What it is? Subcultural fashion based on the Japanese Gothic Lolita style/ fashions. Since this has steadily gaining popularity in the UK, I've attempted to explain it by way of this short article. This really is meant to be both a descriptive piece based on having met and spoken to the people involved, as well as first-hand experience of being one. However, I have a relaxed look at most things and therefore this does reflect my personal undertake the topic. I'd like to think that if I have one, this is an implied wish for everyone to lighten a little. Usually referred to as Gothic Lolita, or loligoth, even though it is much more truly Gothic and/ or Lolita, crossing an array of similar but disparate styles. However, 'Lolita' can be used as an umbrella term, as each style shares that essential characteristic, whatever its individual expression. What is it not? Perverse. Despite the name there isn't any link with either Nabokov's book,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], child pornography, 'roricon', or other inappropriate behaviours. It is also not cosplay. It ought to be pointed out that G is worn as 'normal' clothing (not necessarily everyday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but that it is seen as regular clothing as opposed to a costume). It might therefore be incorrect to express you 'cosplay GL', as that will mean you are treating it only as dressing up and it's not what you will decide to wear normally. It ought to be noted that if you are cosplaying a *character* whose style is GL, that's a different matter. Seriously, that's all there is into it. One individual might wear one exclusively, or favour most styles. I have attempted to provide the most appropriate terms for every, as sometimes names cross over and share characteristics. A number of UK practitioners use borrowed Japanese terms for his or her mode of dress, and so i have included them here *as they've been used*. This isn't designed to define how those styles are practiced within their original country. (Also used would be the terms 'kurololi' and 'shirololi'. These mean 'Black' and 'White Lolita' respectively, and although linked to specific themes (black= gothic, white= sweet) are usually used make reference to individual outfits rather than actual styles.) I haven't included the category 'Gothic', as in the UK this can be a quite distinct style of its. Indeed, Gothic Lolita here's usually seen as offshoot or subcategory of Goth fashion and many those who are in to the style have started to it after that. I have also not used the term 'EGL'. Should you dress Lolita,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you are *not* necessarily EGL. This handy acronym,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], standing for 'Elegant Gothic Lolita', may be appropriate but nevertheless it is a specific brand-based expression used only through the Moi-Meme-Moitie (Mana's clothing line). M-M-M also make 'EGA' (for 'Elegant Gothic Aristocrat'), which for all intents and purposes is very much like our very own Victorian or Romantic Goth. If you dress yourself in a very similar method to M-M-M. There is also a great deal of argument over what suits each category. This sometimes could possibly get very heated, as can discussion in regards to what the 'proper' terms are. Since this is not intended to be a prescriptive article, terms included here are used more as common denominators, instead of 'what it should be called'. Also,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], just to reassure anyone who's still unsure concerning the name, nobody dressed up in Lolita style could ever pass for any real 6-year old. (More discussion of fakery and cash-ins later). Essentially, it is as we in the united kingdom realize it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a combination of traditional Gothic elements with the creepily cute appearance of the little girl. Used, it's often black with white lace (rarely nothing-but black; black and pink is also quite popular), just-above or on-the-knee skirts with wide petticoats, bloomers along with other anachronistic undergarments; decorative knee-socks, Mary Jane shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], exaggerated anime-style platforms,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or antique-style boots. Lots of frills, lace and ruffles. Sometimes incorporates a distinctly school-uniformish aesthetic. It is a loosely-used term, and it is often used as a descriptor amongst people who might dress yourself in some of other the applicable styles. In that case it might make reference to one's being much more of a Gothically-inclined Lolita enthusiast, instead of her specific fashion preferences. AKA loligoth, goth-loli, gosurori (Japanese phoneticisation); although as mentioned they are often used to describe the style as a whole. Ideal Japanese brand? Oddly enough, no brand makes *specifically* Gothic Lolita clothing and only that. Super-cute, sometimes verging on twee. The traditional chocolate-box Victorian little-girl style (although the clothes won't necessarily be historically-based). Shirt is mainly pastel or light shades (pink is popular, as is pale blue), and florals are popular. Looks like Sweet Lolita with the frills stop, to some degree. emphasis is on clean styles with less froth,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], although individual outfits can be very detailed; more utilization of understated frills, pintucks and ruffles than numerous trim. AKA nothing, AFAIK. Not every that popular it appears, possibly because it's quite understated. I have a suspicion that it is seen as boring, even though it can look very dramatic. Probably hard to wear casually. Although they make clothes only in monochrome and are very different from both above, the style elements seem the same. There is a a lot more obviously Gothic appearance, however. Punk LolitaWa-Loli Those who prefer to dress Lolita as well as appreciate kimono is going to be very happy to know they are able to combine the two. It appears quite rare, but it has its adherants. Basically it is a fusion of traditional Japanese fashion with Lolita style, which often translates as 'frilly kimono-type dress with a petticoat underneath'. Some hardcore enthusiasts transform actual kimono by slitting up the side seams so they can be worn on the wide skirt. Whereas each distinct style in Japanese Lolita fashion features its own subset of behaviour, UK Lolitas don't appear to do this. Also, Japanese language is by comparison, more applicable to being split up into different levels of usage (especially politeness); for instance, in English, we might have the difference between 'Excuse me please', and 'Move!', but it is neither as rigid nor as effective because the nuances of Japanese speech. Outside interests?Comparisons?'Rules'- elitists vs. trashlolis? There is a lot of debate about rules. In other words, there is a lot of argument, debate, flaming and fighting about rules. The easiest option would be to express 'go by the Bibles'. This encourages those in need of guidance to do their own first-hand research and create a personal interpretation. It is then both easier as well as more tricky to become a functioning UK Loli. The UK Loli-goth is within a slightly awkward position. She may be entranced, but is by necessity distanced from a culture she will never truly belong to. It isn't a case of mere geography; British society is different from Japanese society, and subcultures do not go over that easily. She might adore the garments, pay attention to the best music, but she'll never be a Japanese Lolita. She can therefore take one of two paths. She will slavishly devote herself to what she sees as proper, Japanese-Loli culture. Brand-name clothing only, regardless of the cost; Visual Kei only, most importantly Mana-sama; and the general attitude of one you never know better. Another might do everything and more, but doesn't exclude her very own life. She realises it's impossible to be the same as the Japanese Lolita; she will never think like her,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], seem like her, spend like her. So why should she bother? Is it not more practical to take those aspects of Lolita culture that actually work for everyone, and adapt them more to her own circumstance?
