Book: Gothic and Lolita Bible
Tokyopop’s Gothic and Lolita Bible is the ultimate source for fans of the gothic lolita and the sweet
lolita lifestyle. The mook (magazine/book) is only in its 2nd volume in America but it is pretty well established in Japan and has a HUGE cult following both in Japan and stateside.
G&L contains the newest clothes from Japan’s top lolita designers like Angelic Pretty, Baby the Stars Shine Bright and Metamorphose for the sweet and brands like h NAOTO, Black Peace Now and Algonquins for the more gothic looks.They also feature street lolita looks as well as interviews with designers and girls who live the lolita lifestyle.
The coolest parts of the G&LB in the american version is that they
made these clothes accesible to the US population by listing website and ways for foreigners to get these clothes from the top brands as well as warnings about the size conversions since Japanese clothes tend to run much smaller than US sizes. But the best feature of all is with every mook issue, they give you patterns designed by the best designers from their line for you to make at home so you can keep us with the lolita lifestyle!
