Label Text:A rococo-meets-Alice in Wonderland aesthetic characterizes Lolita fashion, a major component of Japanese girl culture. While there are many types of Lolitas, “Sweet Lolita” styles feature prints of candy, confections, and fruits rendered in pastel colors like powder pink, lavender, and light blue. Using food to convey a specific vision of cuteness, Lolitas assert their individuality while retaining a sense of youthfulness.
