Lolita fashion originates from Japan, It’s a fashion based on Victorian clothing as well as costumes from the Rococo period. Lolita fashion has evolved throughout the years into different ‘genres’, sweet Lolita, punk Lolita, classic Lolita and many more. Japanese cartoons such as anime influence Lolita fashion greatly.
I have a friend who is very much into this type of fashion, she expresses her creativity and individuality by designing, creating and wearing Lolita style clothes in everyday situations. When walking around with her, I notice lot’s of people stare and stop to take photos. My idea would be to follow her around, in a sought of ‘Sophie Calle’ manner with hints of ‘Richard Avedon’ images within the series and take photos of her and the reactions she attracts by the public. My images will show a social documentary of how people react to things they aren’t used to seeing as well as a fashion shoot for Lolita fashion.
I see my images being presented in either a Lolita fashion magazine entitled ‘The day of a lolita’ or something along those lines. My images could also fit in a street photograph magazine.
