BiG Buzz : The Aesthetic of Cuteness

by Jia Ying Chia

Brunei’s first ever Lolita market event was a total kawaii-fest as crowds gathered at Ri’s Social space to show off their outfits, learn about the Japanese subculture centred around ‘cuteness’, and indulge in a bit of shopping for accessories, clothes and Japanese food. Lolita can often be confused for cosplay as some Japanese animation and manga characters are dressed in the fashion style that is defined by its voluminous skirts and blouses, inspired by the English Victorian sense of dress and Late Baroque styles — petticoats is a must!
