First, kudos to all of you who acknowledged the fact that fashion is first and foremost an issue of approriate tailoring to one’s own body, not someone’s perception of who should wear it and who should not. Even better were the concrete examples.
But I find questioning of appropriate body types for counter-culture fashion fads rather ironic. At the core of such trends is an insistence on doing something counter to acceptable mainstream norms. The original goal of Lolita was to be outrageous, before the emphasis shifted to cute. What is more outrageous than a fashion style on a body that is clearly not suited to the foundation of the image?


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
