:butterflytwo:~:rose:~Decora style~:rose:~:butterflytwo:

Often called ‘Decora-chan’, these girls roamed the streets of the Harajuku and Shibuya districts in Tokyo during the mid- to late-90s.
The style is said to originate from the Japanese pop idol Tomoe Shinohara, who hosted television shows and sang hit songs in fluffy petticoats and knee-high colored boots.

The magazine ‘FRUiTS’ by Shoichi Aoki documents many different Japanese street fashions that have come and gone since 1996. (from this magazine is from where most of the images on internet came from -.-)

Another important aspect of the fashion is the ‘musical’ quality of the accessories as they walk. Super cute.

homygosh you neeeed superlovers in the brand section, aaaan possibly 6%dokidoki (both have websites it's late here, if i get back here before you i'll update you with them!) you could maybe include deco-lolita. It's not gothic at all so it' doesn't really fit with your gothic lolita mixed with decora catagory. it's more super sweet lolita gone a bit mad XD oh there is a great picture of one somewhere i'll have to dig up , it's on my lj somewhere i think!
