Since several years, they have become the princesses of Japanese cities… literally! We are talking about Hime Gyaru, yet another fashion trend from Japan! As is obvious from the name (“Hime” in Japanese means “princess”), Hime-kei fashion reinterprets the look of a modern princess (Marie Antoinette in particular), mixing Gal style with a touch of Gothic Lolita fashion. On the surface, in fact, Hime-Gyaru may be confused with the most famous Gothic Lolitas (in particular, the variants Sweet, Classic or Hime), but there are substantial differences between the two styles, both in look and attitude. The difference can be guessed thinking about the fact that Gyaru Hime originates from Gal style. If a Gothic Lolita outfit cannot ignore petticoat and stockings, Hime Gyaru style do not despise bare shoulders and legs and high heels. If the first gives priority to the dolly and ethereal aspect of Victorian Rococo style, the latter prefers the more luxurious and flashy side.
