Dark coquette: Lolita turns dark
Noir effect in mini-dresses, blouses, and crop tops
"Noir effect in mini-dresses, blouses, and crop tops You have been warned: Lolita’s pleated mini-skirt has turned black. As black as the mini-dress with a satin bow teasing from its white neckline, and as black as the midi design with bare shoulders, playing with a white petticoat. Few excel better than Shushu/Tong at interpreting coquette style with a Gothic twist, the unmissable trend of the season. The challenge is taken up by Yuhan Wang, who offers a semi-sheer sequinned polyester mesh top with a square neck, supported by visible boning, perfect when paired with a pleated culotte-skirt. Dion Lee, and his collection that blends originality and tailoring skill, focuses on cut-outs, while Simone Rocha presents a braided alpaca cardigan structured like the perfect little jacket, complete with rhinestone embellishments and puffed sleeves. Enchanting due to its lines and volume, Kika Vargas’s taffeta mini-dress is a standout statement of style."
