japanese street fashion show take 2!

Dear Fairies,

In February I was part of another Japanese street fashion show at the local Asian Art Museum. They were having an after dark event, so some members of the Japanese fashion community got together to put on a fashion show of different styles.

There, I met two new fairies, Carol and Amanda, who were very lovely ladies. I hope to meet with the again soon ^_^ A very interesting coincidence was that we all ended up wearing Disney shirts as you can see!

The event was very impromptu so we didn't have a rehearsal period. So, when it came time for me to walk down the runway, I didn't realize that we were supposed to keep walking through the audience >.< Instead, I went off the other side of the stage area haha

It was a nice little night of fun to catch up on some of my great J-fashion friends and to make new ones! In the pic above, next to me is lolita, Angel Light, who was great to record most of this fashion show as she did in the last fashion show I was in. You can see my slightly embarrassing walk XD

college japanese street fashion show!

Dear Fairies,

Wow, I've got so many posts which I probably should have posted ages ago, but I'll post them anyway!

So, a little while back I was invited, by a lolita friend, Vivian, to participate in a Japanese street fashion show at a university. All I have to say is I was so excited for this!! It was so great that these students were getting together to basically inform the student body on the different street fashions of Japan.

Of course, I saw this as an opportunity to get fairy kei more recognition by wearing fairy kei in the fashion show. In fact, no one in the fashion show seemed to know what fairy kei was so I was happy to explain the fashion to everyone! It was also a wonderful opportunity to meet new J-fashion fans and make friends.

It was just like a real fashion show! We had a little runway, loud music, cheering people, flashing camera lights from all the photography students... It was awesome! This lovely little show was put together by the lovely Crystal and Jacky of the wonderful Japanese Student Association on campus.

The fashion show consisted of lolita, visual kei, gyaru styles, and decora/kawaii styles.

Two friends I made modeled decora in the kawaii style group: Aaron and Caroline. Even though I wasn’t even a student at this college, I felt extremely welcome and so happy to be among fellow Japanese culture enthusiasts ^_^

Not only did I wear fairy kei, but since I dabble a bit in lolita, I decided to be an addition to the gothic lolita group by dressing in aristocrat style. My friend, Vivan, lovely musician and lolita, rocked the catwalk with her Vampire Requiem replica skirt, bonnet,and black parasol. I wore an “offbrand” (LipService) Victorian style gown with a lovely hat I found at a Claire’s once a while back.
