The inspiration of our enamel pins

The history of Lolita fashion

Lolita fashion originated in Japan. It wouldn't be rare, in Harajuku, to see two young girls dressed in a sophisticated manner, with beautiful frilly dresses. This fashion appeared in the 80s and takes up the Victorian aesthetic, adapted to the Kawaii taste that the Japanese appreciate so much.

Although each Lolita outfit has common inspirations (Victorian style, platform shoes, knee-length dresses), each style has additional inspirations that make the outfits vary for every lady.

We can for example see the Sweet Lolita, with many frills and soft accessories, the Country Lolita, inspired by the western countryside, or the Guro Lolita, derived from the word Gore, which plays on a more frightening and bloody aesthetic.

Let's discover today the « Wa » Lolita...

The « Wa Lolita » in a few words

Wa Lolita is a style derived from the Lolita fashion, where the traditional Japanese kimono is mixed with the cute inspirations of the Lolita. This style is more complex than the others because the origin of the traditional Japanese kimono is sophisticated too: the patterns with inspirations coming from far in the past, the fabrics are complex, with a real millenary history. These outfits can be much more complex to make but also so beautiful!
