Lolita Tea Party 2012

Lolita fashion is not just about maid dresses and kitty ears and it certainly isn't cosplay. It may be easy to assume the connection at first glance due to the influence of animes (Japanese Animation).

However, as the name itself suggests, it is a street fashion and a subculture, which originated in Japan, and is well known for its intricate and delicate doll-like look, inspired mostly by the Rococo and Victorian eras. Moreover, some may even argue that it goes beyond fashion; it is more of an attitude.

In an effort to introduce the Lolita fashion to Brunei, two enthusiasts, Nio and Suok Jiuan, co-organised a Lolita Tea Party yesterday at Au Lait Café at the Seri Kiulap Mall, where all guests were required to don their fancy lolita attire to be eligible for the party.

Prior to the opening of the event, there was a mini photoshoot for individual Lolitas to showcase their outfits. During the opening speech, the organisers first talked about the Lolita fashion, and following that, one by one the guests were invited to give an introduction on their outfits and explain about the inspiration behind their choice of attire.

There are many types of Lolita styles, and according to Nio, Gothic Lolita is one of the most popular styles among them, which is often referred to as the 'Lolitas of All Styles'. The style takes on a darker theme with a touch of cutesiness and elegance.

Another popular style is the Classic Lolita, a calmer and more neutral alternative, which adopts a more mature and muted style.

Furthermore, there are also others like Hime (princess) Lolita, Casual Lolita, Punk Lolita, and Ama (sweet) Lolita.

"All of these styles have their own attitude and coordination to pull off," she said. Suok Jiuan, on the other hand, stressed that an important element in Lolita fashion is all about mix and match. The hosts also took the opportunity to express their gratitude towards 'Angel and Demon Lolita Closet' for sponsoring the event prizes.

The event ended with a prize presentation and a group photo session.
