Japan Emergency
Three years ago, we were about to board on the plane that would take us to Tokyo for a vacation of 20 days in the land which, for us, has always been the wonderland. Last week, just dropped from another plane, we were reached by the news of the catastrophe that was taking place half a world away, in the nation that hosted us for those unforgettable weeks. With the heart, we are close to all the people who are in the affected areas ♥
J*Fashion: Hime-Gyaru
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.
J*Fashion: Fairy Kei
So far, Kawaii Gazette dealt almost exclusively with original characters (Hello Kitty, Rilakkuma and friends). Today, we start a new section that goes slightly beyond the characters, but remains in the field of “kawaii” (or rather, of “kawaii” as an adjective). The items that end up in the Cute Lifestyle category, in fact, concerns fashion, trends, Japanese pop culture and everything that, from our point of view, is cute and deserves attention. We hope you like this new section! If you have any suggestions or ideas, you can always contact us by email or leave us a message on Facebook or Twitter 😀
