I've been a fan of jfashion since 2016, without fully having the means to wear it myself. With the help of being an Adult with a Job, I've finally been able to build my jfashion closet!
My general jfashion closet started in 2019, my EGL closet started in 2021!
My favorite EGL styles are Shiro (all-white) and classic!
My fave brands are: Metamorphose, H.noato, Emily Temple Cute, Peace now, Miho Matsuda, Innocent World, Putumayo!
What is EGL?:
Elegant Gothic Lolita (EGL for short) is a Japanese street fashion that originated in the district of Harajuku. It takes inspiration from kawaii culture, Rococo, Victorian, goth, and punk fashion. [Source ]
"Lolita refers to the practice of adult women dressing in excessively frilly, doll/princess/maiden-inspired clothing. And like cuteness in Japan, Lolita pervades every aspect of a Lolita’s appearance, and to a certain extent,her (or his) life. It is easy to think of Lolita as an anachronistic living version of an expensive doll.Not to be confused with Vladimir Nabokov’s novel of the same name" [Source ]
Where do you buy your clothes from?:
I use buyee.jp to buy secondhand on mercari jpn/yahoo auctions jpn!
(Don't use a proxy shopping site without researching, importing/shipping goods from japan is expensive!)
I also buy secondhand using lacemarket/EGL social circles!
