Lolitas and Goths on the Rise in Bushwick
Ellie Frye of Bushwick, inspired by her Japanese counterparts.
I mostly see them by the Morgan stop, since those kiddies tend to be younger and more… ridiculous? than those of us on the other side of Flushing. It’s actually an odd combination of styles — the fat bearded ripped-t-shirt slob look and the dainty ruffled “lolita” look might share a relationship. Don’t wince as the cute young girl gets swallowed by those walrus jowls — that’s just a kiss. What is with the girls in the lace and frills — and are those goths I see? And is that a goth-lolita combo?? Yes to all.
Allegedly, lolita fashion is becoming popular across the country, as well as goth and that Marilyn Manson in-between look. Nowhere is that more apparent than a stroll down the industrial fringes of Bushwick, If you’re not convinced it’s hot now, well, Phaidon has a book about it. Now what?

OMG. I see those loita’s every weekend here in downtown Nagoya. They come in droves from the countryside mostly. I know a 26 year old Japanese girl who has over 30 dresses she made herself. Her boyfriend loves it when she dresses up for him and plays house.

Wow, so it’s like the fricking harajuku district on the MORGAN stop.
Well, those exotifiers will get a taste, yay! But this was way big in Japan like, fricking 5-6 years ago.
I personally blame this on echoing fashion trends, the devolution of human discourse, and Gwen Stefani.
