KOMACHI2266531DarkLolita Visual Kei Artist Collaboration

Some of you may remember that A-To-J connections were able to interview DaDa, designer for plus sized Lolita brand KOMACHI2266531DarkLolita this past July! (Which can be found HERE) We’ve been keeping up with the brand and what has caught a good amount of interest is the brand’s latest collaboration with some notable Visual Kei artists. Two new tights designs have been announced! The first design is in collaboration with Aki, vocalist of Arlequin., while the second design is in collaboration with Minpha, bassist of Pentagon!

The first design with Aki is titled “Borderline”.  The buckle strap design at the ankles is what really catches the eye as worn by Aki. The dark macabre look is greatly defined by the description given for the tights “Being clad in coldhearted shadows where there is no room for emotions. The sound of footsteps from the darkness moves closer and closer, along with a biting feeling of danger. This is the inspiring image behind this design.” (KOMACHI2266531DarkLolita Tumblr)

The second design with Minpha was titled “Frozen Breath”. As you can see, the weaving barbed wire design that is incredibly eye-catching! To give more depth into what the designer was trying to capture, it’s accompanied by the description “This design comes from the image of a pale moonlight sky as seen from the window of a church on a snowy night. A world imprisoned in barbed wire, a holy night of immorality” (KOMACHI2266531DarkLolita Tumblr)

KOMACHI2266531DarkLolita once again captures a exquisite example of when fashion, art, and music come together! I’m excited to see more artist and designer collaborations in the future. Are there any fashion collaborations you really like?
