Artist's commentary
Kuro-Loli
Kuro lolita is the direct contrasting style to shiro lolita, being an all-black style. That's what marks the difference between gothic lolita and kuro lolita.
Gothic lolita typically has striped socks and a black and white color palette, while kuro lolita is entirely black, leaving no room to mix in elements of white.
Also, as it's not a goth derivative style, there are no horror themes. Instead, there tend to be prints based on the night sky, such as constellations and stars. As such, the style does not loose its cuteness even despite its all black palette.
