Lolita

Japanese street fashion inspired by Victorian and Rococo clothing with elaborate dresses and modesty. Emerging in the 1970s and formalized in the 1990s, Lolita emphasizes cuteness, elegance and self-expression. Signature pieces include petticoat-puffed skirts, lace-trimmed blouses, platform Mary Janes, knee-high socks, frilly headpieces, and parasols.
