Recently I was contacted by "That's Life" magazine about doing an interview regarding lolita fashion! I just went down to the shop today to pick it up and I've scanned it into the computer so everybody can read it! It's been written in first person on my behalf which ties in with the themes of the magazine - so keep that in mind while reading please !!
It was a pleasure to work with Nina Young the journalist who interviewed me, because she really did listen to my story correctly, and followed through with all my requests and queries about the doll aspect of the spread. Basically I asked her to explain that it was a street fashion and that it didn't revolve around girls trying to make themselves into living dolls so she toned it down as much as she could.
Portraying lolita in the media is definitely a hard task with it being such a niche little fashion that would be hard to explain to people in only a two page spread, so even though they've gone for the "living doll" angle, it's not too over the top or overly offensive so I'm really quite pleased with how it's turned out.
*I would like to note that I was not informed about the side profile that has lolita comparing to Dakota, Venus and Valeria who are a completely different trend.
