This week I came across some interesting collections from Fashion Week. I've never been into fashion myself, and i talked about it with my coworker who's actually studied fashion. She told about the Anti-Fashion movement and trans experience, it was all very interesting.

I checked some designers and collections that looked girly, classy, cute. Back when I used to dress more according to my own personal style it was very much inspired by shojo manga and Gossip Girl, rich school girl style. My dream was to go to an international boarding school for girls, I actually once wrote a story like that (it was set in France, and of course it had lesbians). It's funny since that's far from my upbringing. Pinterest is full of girly online aesthetic but it's actually a very niche thing and definitely not considered cool. On top of that I'd really like to look like an adult after all so gladly I found something inspiring:

Chloé

I've been meaning to get a long black tutu, but the only nice one i found was 100€, and the only cheap one i found from vinted was see-through :/ Anyway, i love long dress/skirt + leather combo. I looooove leather.

Anna Tanaka from the 5th gen group MEOVV attended the show since she's Chloé's global ambassador. It fits really well with MEOVV's rich girl/model brand. Lot of the members have done photoshoots for high-end brands even though they're a new group.

Caroline Hu

Dreamy fantasyland, i love it. The collection looks very comforting.

Talking about fantasyland f5ve recently did an Alice in Wonderland themed photoshoot for their 3rd anniversary. I absolutely love it since it kinda references to 2010 era and Gwen Stefani's "What Are You Waiting For?" MV, which I was obsessed back in the day. Last year I was able to find a mini Alice Blythe figure for really cheap. I've been eyeing this one full size Blythe doll on Vinted. I'm gonna get one some day.

I think this collection is towards what i would realistically want to wear.
I also liked collections from Simone Rocha, Sandy Liang, and Diesel.

LE SSERAFIM recently collabed with the Japanese luxury loungewear brand Gelato Pique:

They have a lot of cute pyjamas, but they're quite pricey.

I found this amazing thing called Jelli Magazine. It's a pretty new magazine for trinket lovers, with a style around j-fashion, otaku culture, and y2k. Last summer i got a pink crossbody bag with a star shape that i decorated with trinkets and i absolutely love it. I also got My Melody & Kuromi crocs that Yunjin wore on Kawaii MV. I love polkadots, stripes, tartan, i have a lot of clothes and accessories like that. I've thrifted most of my clothes since I was 14 (before it was popular!).

I recently went to this high-end thrift store with a friend who really knows about textiles. She taught me more about the quality of clothes and we compared the prize-quality ratio which was fun. When i went to see Enhypen concert cinema few days ago it was so fun seeing fans wearing merch and having unique styles. Lot of dedicated kpop fans definitely have their own style.

Unfortunately thrifting has also become more expensive and these days i rather use my "extra" money on albums and trinkets.
Fangirlism comes first!
