I love the designs by Mana of moi-même-moitié Elegant Gothic Lolita Designer. It was founded in 1999 and blends the innocence and cuteness of lolita with the darkness and mystery of gothic styles. The label’s name is a portmanteau of the French words “moi-même” (myself) and “moitié” (half), although the expression “moi-même-moitié” does not exist in French.
Everything about moi-même-moitié is exquisite, yet timeless. I have a few of my favourite moi-même-moitié Elegant Gothic Lolita here. You can read more about elegant gothic lolita as a style and performance art at gothic lolita article on www.Goth-Style-Secrets.com.
This is one of my favourite styles and photo with Nurse Deisel in an adaptation of Elegant Gothic Lolita, with a bit more sensuality and a western edge. In Western cultures, Goth ranges from the Victorian-inspired influences for Romantic Goths, to the bondage-inspired styles of Industrial Goths, to the futuristic elements of rave fashion for Cyber Goths. However, Gothic Lolita, EGL and EGA styles are becoming a greater influence for gothic fashions in the West. Ironically, Gothic Lolita, EGL and EGA originally borrowed from the West, with elements of Victorian, Rococo and Baroque styles. Fashion recycles not only from history, but cross-culturally. And here it has gone full circle with EGL and EGA ideas for the holiday season. Read more about how to dress goth for the holidays, with Nurse Deisel, gothic model for Goth Style Secrets.
Gothic Lolita, Elegant Gothic Lolita and Elegant Gothic Aristocrat
Gothic Lolita. Elegant Gothic Lolita (EGL) and Elegant Gothic Aristocratic (EGA) styles from Japan are becoming a greater influence for gothic fashions in the West. These styles are a mixture of romance and innocence, representing a kind of kinder and gentler Gothic look that borrows from childhood symbolism, while still maintaining a dark edge. My Lady Eureka outfits are considered romantic goth and elegant gothic lolita. I’m an elder Goth, but with a girlish figure so lace, corsets and pouffy skirts to give me a more curvaceous appearance while maintaining a refined style.
