subject: Lolita And Lolita Fashion [print this page] Maybe, you confuse what the term Lolita" in blazing refers to as vague concept in mind as the same as me. When it come to Lolita, we usually associate it with the famous novel called Lolita, but actually, if a girl said she dreams to dress up in a Lolita, the world "Lolita" here generally is accepted as Lolita fashion - a type of girly and cute fashion featuring lace, ruffles, much layer and puffy skirts for girls and women.
We know the novel "Lolita" writes a middle-aged man becomes obsessed and sexually involved with a 12-year-old girl, so this makes many people mistake Lolita is related to sex in some way. However, in Lolita fashion, it is generally accepted that "Lolita" doesn't refer to Vladimir Nabokov's famous novel. Adherents present themselves more as Victorian children or porcelain dolls and prefer to look "cute" or "beautiful" rather than "sexy".
Thus, Lolita and Lolita fashion is two completely different concept, and Lolita fashion of course isn't inspired by the novel rather than originates in Japan that is primarily influenced by Victorian clothing as well as costumes from Rococo period.
Conversely, with emphasis of simplicity and elegance, Lolita fashion not only has nothing to do with sexy, but it also struggle with too much skin exposure. A proper Lolita is required wearing knee-length skirt or longer and a blouse needed inside in case of low cut. The mini skirt in Lolita fashion is absolutely permitted. If you found a girls presenting us Lolita look with sex and skin exposure instead of elegance and cuteness, this can be called Lolita cosplay.
