Artist's commentary
Hime-Loli
Hime-loli is hime gyaru + lolita fashion. Its representative brand is JESUS DIAMANTE.
In terms of style, it is primarily pink and princessy, so it shares some similarities with sweet lolita, but what is definitely different is that this is a himegal-derived style, so you'll often see the big hair worn by 2000s hostesses. Hime lolitas who wore heavy makeup and Jesus Diamante were called "Mantegya".
○ That's all for lolita styles ○
The lolita styles discussed above are pretty basic, so if you keep this in mind, it should be all you need.
Lolita is still a very popular fashion style to represent Harajuku, and its main fashion icon is Aoki Misako-san, the president of the Japan Lolita Association. She travels to other countries both in and out of Asia to spread Japanese lolita fashion to the world, and is very active in organizing meets.
