Loli-Pun

Place : Kyoto
Taken by : A. K . (Doshisha International Junior/Senior High School)

To begin with, please understand that in Japan, there is a type of fashion called "Loli-Pun", which is a mixture of "Lolita" and "Punk". This fashion is worn by some young people (roughly ages 10-30).

Those clothes have certain features:

For example, this jacket is designed such that a part of the shoulder is scented.

Those are frills on the collar and the skirt, and there is a ribbon attached to the pocket.
The sizes of the three buttons on the front are different.
This jacket is a product of the brand "PEACE NOW".

A border design is popular among people who wear Loli-Pun. They also like lace work.
Please look at the bottom picture. Two ribbons are attached to a toothed hood. There are also hoods with bits of cloth shaped like rabbit ears or cat ears.
These are products of the brand "ALGONQUINS".

Check-patterned skirts are also popular.
The skirt in the bottom picture is divided into two steps, and the lower is lace.

Chains, zippers, and separating sleeves are also popular.

These two pieces can be worn nicely together with a skirt for the piece in the top picture and pants for that in the bottom picture.
These are products of the brand "ALGONQUINS".

These shoes are liked by people who put on Loli-Pun. Especially, thick-soled shoes are popular. There are a lot of people who put on "beats", too.

The above are features of "Loli-Pun". In Loli-Pun, there is no clear borderline. When I create new Loli-Pun looks in the future, I am sure that I will be happy!
