As a fan of Japanese fashion and a resident of Los Angeles, it can be hard to acquire certain styles and specific sizes. Many popular Lolita brands are targeted toward native Japanese clients and this is well reflected in their sizing charts. The largest size that they offer is, arguably, the equivalent to a US sized medium; even with this leeway it can still be tight in certain areas such as the chest, shoulders and waist. Finding a perfect fitting for a larger sized model is hard to come by. Even as a designer, with each piece costing so much, it is anxiety inducing to modify the size ourselves. Thankfully, these experiences can now be avoided. In 2015 KOMACHI2266531DarkLolita was launched. KOMACHI2266531DarkLolita features and specializes in Lolita inspired fashion for plus-sized women in Japan as well as the West. Reasoning for their particular sizing charts was because “seeing the lack of options for plus-size women when it comes to Japanese niche fashion in particular, [they] decided it was time for a change” and to “allow plus-size women to express themselves through their clothing and portray their personality without being limited by size.” The designer for KOMACHI2266531DarkLolita’s debut line is DaDa, VELVET EDEN’s formal vocalist. With his history in dark wave visual kei, the inspiration for the “dark Lolita-inspired dresses with a heavy gothic aesthetic” could be seen. What is also great about this brand is that everything is designed and manufactured in Japan. This company is under the sunkrad company label, which is owned and managed by Dynamite Tommy, the godfather of visual key. Their amazing designs are eye-catching and gorgeous. With their intricate prints, cut and textile, each piece is definitely a statement that can be worn for any event or time of day, casual or formal. Be sure to check out this amazing company and their designs. This summer will be KOMACHI2266531DarkLolita’s debut as a “new dark Lolita-inspired brand.” Everyone will be able to witness first-hand their work. KOMACHI2266531DarkLolita will debut as a featured fashion line at Anime Expo 2016’s fashion show. Let’s face it, not all of us can be as thin as those doll-like models, and unfortunately many fashion styles are just too niche for the sizes to cater to everyone. KOMACHI2266531DarkLolita gives an opportunity for all women to explore and “to look on the outside the way they’ve always dreamed.” - Eunice |
