[Music]

back to my channel your virtual ticket
to Japan so today I am with Cathy cat
yeah yeah and I've done things to you I
know she came to her house and she's
like boof and then I just turned into a
Lolita I love this look this is the
first time I've ever dressed up as a
Lolita I've always wanted to do it
fashion is just I I wasn't sure what was
I was gonna expect but I really like it
I feel so happy and fun and positive and
like I'm happy you're so glad well I
just thought this this suits me really
really good I don't know what do you
guys think comment down below the
makeover that is actually on my channel
yeah if you if you would like to please
come over and say hi I do have a
Japanese fashion living in Japan all
kinds of random things cuz I'm kind of a
weird person so yeah come over here I'm
very geeky as well so sailing and stuff
all around this place and stuff so here
here cuz we went outside me took
pictures so there was a bit of a wind
going yes we're gonna talk about what we
think about our Styles so this is Jade
she's coming in right now she did it's
not another style mother look so Jade
eye styles classical elitist that were
like I styled you sweet Lolita socratic
Kuruvita Amaro diva they're in a very
DIF that's in Lolita fashion I wanted to
have a big contrast between both of you
yeah and as you can see you look like a
magical girl little but this really OTT
style is getting a bit more out of
fashions sadly recently but I still love
it and I'm over here we have like the
classical one you could wear this it's
really excited about the reactions that
people had when we went outside because
I was a little nervous because I've
never worn anything like this before but
people were reacting so positively they
loved our looks they kept saying like oh
I love how you look and everything cuz
you know it's like this is a job this
came from Japan the style right came
from Japan well
has roots in the Victorian and the row
cobra area but it's actually like you
know Japanese fashion designers took it
and changed it and yes this is the style
that we have today come on it is me I'm
back
[Music]
it is very much a part of Harajuku
fashion so hardship good fashion culture
you might have heard it is very light up
and extravagant very fun very kawaii
people looked at the title kawaii to it
instead of saying cute and it is one of
the biggest and most known styles
I'd say abroad as well lots of girls
dress like this when they go to tea
parties suppose a girl dressed like this
when they go to conventions interesting
enough I started lolita fashion not in
Japan I had the clothes from Japan I
couldn't wait I wore them actually out
in the UK there are actually great
communities in different countries so
there might be one actually in your
country and the ideas are the later
fashion it is not a costume that's what
many people get from you were saying
costume you were saying cos I know I I
was like no she don't say because I was
not used to this and I kept calling it a
costume yes I don't dress up like this
all the time it's no cosplay and it's
not a costume it's like punk punk yeah
we go around like a costume you wouldn't
say my hungers a costume it's like a
style why did you start it like what got
you interested in it well I had the
clothes and I think the clothes of a
very nice appeal to girls right it's
freely it's cute is different like the
same way you looked around my room and
went like oh no I got to love all these
dresses I think we all have in our
hearts the kind of like girlish thing of
wish to like that trigger you things and
hard to find a costume for costume if
they're hard to find online but there
right now there lots of people who do
like swap meets order it online
somewhere there's ways of getting hold
of it
i Julie in the morning if I know I have
a shootout because I shoot quite a lot
out in Tokyo in Malita
I know it depends on which season it is
so for example in winter you need to
layer up as crazy to make sure that
you're not freezing so we have like
loads and bloomers layers and tights and
seven coats their coats knew too much
your outfit so that's a bit of a pain it
can take anything from an hour which is
a quick getting ready to two hours which
is a slow getting ready to hours is
actually more for Decorah which means
okay loads lots of pins in my ears but
the different Harajuku fashion style but
it can reach for the lead of fashion so
you have like payment benefit time I'd
like you guys to guess what kind of
style that you're just looking around my
room into the dresses so you can see
gosh I don't even know how to name them
so there's a sweet style and there's the
classical style you got that right there
like a gothic style
yes gossip later that's where it started
from good point there actually there are
many many different styles there's for
example of popular want to save a Lolita
okay that's not dress up there than a
Lolita is a popular one the circus
Lolita is a popular circus that's
interesting princess Lolita like kind of
Princess tell him it is a very popular
one so it does a bit like more popular
ones and there are loads and loads of
subcategories as well
think about Lolita fashion is not sexual
so that's why this skirt is long you
definitely rules like the main rules
only no fashions you don't show cleavage
you don't show too much skin
you don't show too much leg and you
definitely have you have your skirt like
down quite look it's interesting because
most girls wear it not to get a guy most
girls wear it for themselves to be like
a little bit good I could princess to
make myself look posture pretty
it is actually a very pricey fashion
like the first time I started getting
into it I was actually shocked how
expensive it was yeah I would think
though how much do you average think
like the address is a Lolita fashion
dress like one head on mom like 300
months yeah every bucks yeah around 300
bucks is what people spend if you know
something Brent you and not in the sale
it is between 200 and 300 bucks that's a
lot a lot of money that's so many lolita
struggle to get to that point they have
shops like secondhand lolita there are
secondhand swaps but they're put harder
to get hold of abroad with my new owners
they do swap meets they say like I know
this dress I don't want to wear it as
much you have that one can we swap the
bags a real fun thing to do let's see I
don't afford it or whatever respect
highly are girls who make their own
dresses like I'm everytime amazed when I
see girls who make their own dresses
because they say I don't have much money
so I'm making it myself
your name is Cathy cat yes do other
lolitas have different names like for
themselves or like do they change to
make it match their style or do actually
some have like a Lolita name especially
Japanese lalita's will do that to
protect their privacy yeah many people
who are into this fashion that kind of
shy actually so like we go for walking
around and in one way you said you like
the stairs but at the same time it make
it feel a bit shy right mm-hmm so we
Japanese people many of them they want
to wear this but they're very shy about
it
so can protect them their privacy by
making a different Facebook account for
the Lolita identity and such I see so
that's interesting but I Cathy cat was
just actually for my youtube channel so
it's not a my Dalida name it's just okay
[Music]
and I must say when I started I was in
the okay and I was lucky enough to have
a kind of accepting environment around
me like fans go to you okay you can wear
crazier things without you know saying
too many bad things in Germany wouldn't
be so good like you know he dressed down
a lot in Germany and everything for
every practice in Germany I'm German
originally I'm from Jim my mom was a
shock the first time she saw me she knew
about it but she for a moment she was
like where's my daughter
wow she was literally like whoa I've
never wanted it from with my dad I don't
think that will ever happen at this rate
my friends who knew me before I saw the
Lolita fashion I read like are you still
doing this good but everyone who I met
with Lolita fashion is very like oh my
god it's awesome we love it we check
your Instagram all the cat is gonna get
out of stuff so it's it different it
depends on what your general ideas on
fashion are in hope in Europe
accidentally depression the larger your
Chester's the less dresses you can wear
because they're all none be like where
you gonna hide everything away very
modest and such so if you have like a
super curvy hourglass body you hide
everything mm-hmm you know everything is
hidden you don't really cut your own
size which is good because I love it
they're very very they're made me like
plus-size lalita's know and I love
seeing plus-sized elitist because you
know it's a community that I think
should be accepting of any body size of
any background of any skin color and I
think that's the beauty of it I think
that the Lolita fashion there's more
focus on the look and less on the Bott
like the body
you know I'm saying it's more like they
people see you as like they can just
focus on what you're wearing and not
what you look like you know like it's
kind of like a nice feeling and kind of
hides like your I guess I wouldn't say
like imperfection and that's about you
feeling good about feeling good about
yourself yeah exactly that's exactly
what what it is all of it
if there's anybody that's watching this
video and is interested in like dabbling
in lolita fashion and style what advice
would you give what advice would I give
I mean first of all have a look around
what you see like see if there's a
community new you see what kind of
dresses you're like cuz they're many
brands and there are many styles so it's
for it at the beginning it's like whoof
once you look up you'll find a lot but
then find what you want to do what you
can get and then first maybe look at
what kind of style you want to buy which
brand you want to support for example I
recently been buying a lot of
metamorphose because that's a brand I
think I want to stay around because many
brands are dying at this point so find a
brand you want to support maybe save up
see how you can actually get hold of
that brand I know
online you can find a lot of trolls as
well and people who are nasty but try to
find a good and supportive environment
that was the big point for me like the
lowliness I've met they've been super
supportive in research and so you don't
want to get anything like roam and wear
something that people go like that's not
alia why are you here a little bit of
research well thank you for answering
all my questions I had so many I'm sorry
