Book Reviews of Gothic and Lolita
Book Review: A Good Mix & Better FONT COLOR
Summary: 5 Stars
Out of 252 different color plates, there are 78 "Lolita" as I would describe it. PERSONALLY, I am "goth" or "cyber" depending on day and club. This book was everything I expected. It is a really good representation of street fashion, just as the title suggests. There seems to be some clothing that I would define as "club wear", because it would be most appropriate for clubbin. Mostly, great creative street-wear! I Love the modified kimono looks. Not something that you see a whole lot of in the states. LOTS of different platform, Japanese style, sandals.....also something that is not as common stateside. The Victorian style goth reigns supreme in this book. But it is not limited to that niche, there's enough other fashion examples to keep from getting too bored.
There are a lot more instances of designer brands that I recognize and can afford. 'Fruits' and 'Fresh Fruits', both featured couture designer brands that were out of my league. This book has a good deal of affordable brands like, Morbid, Cyber Dog, Lip Service, Metamorphose, etc...
The text is short, just as in the previous books. Just name and age of fashionista. And a brief synopsis: point of fashion, designer brand or where they got their clothes, and current obsession. The font is still simple and small. At times STILL hell to read. But they did keep the colors of the font a consistent red and green. An improvement over some of the impossible candy colored text of the 'Fruits' books.
