Loli-POP! at the V&A, London
Calling all UK Lolitas!
To tie in with the current Kitty and the Bulldog exhibition and to celebrate the influence of British fashion on the Japanese scene, the V&A Museum in London is holding a whole evening devoted to Lolita fashion this Friday August 31 as part of their Friday Lates.
The evening promises a talk from anthropologist Philomena Keet whose studies focus on Tokyo fashion and a Q&A session about Lolita influences as well as make-up workshops, purikura booths, a showing of the famous Kamikaze Girls (Shimotsuma Monogatari) film and DJ sets.
Rokkyuu recently interviewed the curators of this groundbreaking exhibition, which can be read HERE.
The event runs from 18:30 to 22:00. For more details, step daintily over to the V&A Friday Late Website.
Sarah began her journey into the world of Japanese music courtesy of L'Arc-en-Ciel back in the year 2000. Since then, she has combined a love of music and music journalism into writing for European Japanese music magazines and assisting with Japanese interest events in the UK. After graduating in Law from the University of Nottingham, she put 'the law-thing' on the backburner to dive into the live scene in Tokyo for 3 years. Sarah returned to the UK in September 2010 to do that 'law-thing' and now works for a Japanese ｂank in London. Her heart is always in the music and fashion in Tokyo and her life is balanced between her time in the UK and Japan. When she has time, she also blogs at http://lifeismerodii.blogspot.com
