missing email, Chanel and Gothic & Lolita/kimono

[aimeekitty]

I still seem to be getting some "bounces" on my email, so if you emailed me and didn't get a response within the past 2 days, please resend!

Now, on to fun stuff! Marie is going well, but slow... yesterday as a break, I had lunch with Mitch and Mitch got me some books! one was the most recent Gothic & Lolita Bible (#16). I'd tried to resist it for a w hile, but now I'm glad that I didn't!! This one actually has some decent patterns in it unlike some previous ones! Also there is a CG picture of a very Super Dollfie-like girl, and some really fun "prince/princess" photoshoots! And of course I always like looking at Ma/Mam, Angelic Pretty and Baby, the Stars Shine Bright, etc... If had more time, I'd modify some hoodies into looking like Ma/Mam lacy kitty/devil hoodies. Maybe once I get done with this retarded costume stuff I'm working on, I'll get a little more into making clothes for myself. Because none of their stuff fits me, and I would SO wear a black and white (or pink) lacey cat-earred hooded sweatshirt EVERYDAY. =^____^=...

I also got a fashion book showing the Fall 2005 Chanel stuff. I really really like the feather hats and lacy coats...!

All this fashoin talk reminds me of these two girls I saw in Harajuku... Does anyone know where I can find more pictures of this type of fashion?

I absolutely adore it. Any ideas? I love this kimono inspired stuff!

Oooh, the Japanese-inspired clothing is wa-mono and the most popular designer for that style is Takuya Angel; it also happens to be the brand that both girls are wearing in your pictures! Gouk, a spin-off of H.Naoto, also leans heavily on Japanese prints and cuts but it is also only available in Japan.

Chanel is classic. Which fashion book did you get?

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

Wow, thankyou so much!! I really love that Takuya Angel stuff... a quick google search turned up tons of it! I love the strong color lines and curves that that shop uses.

I think I got Mode/Mode?

[huongstar.livejournal.com]

Auugh, I love Moda/Mode (whatever it is) but it's so expensive!

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

yeah, I'd been staring at this particular issue for like 3 trips to Little Tokyo and kept telling myself that I didn't need it, that it was pricey... and I finally could not stand it anymore and had to get it!

You can find more Takuya Angel pics on www.japanesestreets.com =)

Also, the VK band Doremidan wears nothing but clothes from that line. I have no idea what their music is like, but they've done fashion shows/shoots for them.

Find a copy of the Fruits book fot fashion kind of like that.

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

yeah, I have that book, but this is a more particular type.

[jennekohan.livejournal.com]

I LOVE Takuya Angel, definately my favorite brand. You can check more out here http://ip.tosp.co.jp/i.asp?i=ihpTA
I bought one of the heart/wing shirts that used to be sold on JapaneseStreets.com, but I can't find the link anymore so I guess they aren't selling it still.

holy craparoni...I need one of those bunny-eared sweatshirts.

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

aren't they cool?! I swear, I'll make you one too if you want once I get my life in order (when will that be? :P) did you see the devil ones? they have tails. *_*

[tetsu69.livejournal.com]

I want some TA clothing but at $500 for a pair of hakama shorts and leg warmers, and the coat I like at just over $1000 it kinda kills me... though I refuse to leave Japan with out it.

....And that is exactly why I'm not going there for over a year, I'd take one of those gaudy outfits over a new dollieh for me any day.

Tardy reply. That is me.

[blastmilk.livejournal.com]

I would wear bunny/kitty hoodie EVERY DAY! I would.

Also, I've been thinking of adapting my sd kimono pattern to do some gothy/lolita/punky kimono styles for the girls. I love that stuff...next project perhaps!

Re: Tardy reply. That is me.

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

that would be amazingly awesome.
