Kawaii & Fashion: Interviews with Lolitas (Anna)

What does lolita fashion mean to those who dress in this kawaii, feminine, and nostalgic style? How has lolita fashion traveled beyond Japan to be embraced by people around the world? This series of interviews from the Kawaii in Japan & Beyond: Theory & Praxis project documents the diverse perspectives of lolita fashion practitioners from the Atlanta Lolita Community in the United States.

In this interview, we hear from Anna, a lolita who loves classic and gothic substyles. Topics Anna discusses include the significance of Alice in Wonderland within the fashion. 

Anna says, "Kawaii means that I get to enjoy extra fun and life in my day… just looking extra pretty."
