Tokyo Fashion Festa came to NYC at FIT’s Haft Auditorium. The auditorium seats approximately 750 people and the middle front section was filled entirely with girls (and some boys) dressed in Japanese lolita style. A mix of street, visual kei and goth were sprinkled throughout the rest of the venue. Morrie from Creature Creature was present and there were probably a few other semi-famous folks in the crowd.

Baby The Stars Shine Bright is one of the most popular lolita brand names that represents sweet lolita. You’re not a lolita in NY if you don’t know about, own a piece from or desperately want something from BTSSB. Alice & The Pirates is a line from BTSSB that’s slowly gaining popularity in North America. A&TP focuses on pirate-lolita and punk themed designs.
