DC Anime Club Will Host a Lolita Picnic
We will meet up in front of the Smithsonian Freer and Sackler Jefferson Drive at 12th St., SW
Washington, DC national Mall and then proceed to the picnic area.
For those who are unfamiliar, Lolita is a fashion subculture in Japan that
is primarily influenced by Victorian children clothing, as well as
costumes from the Rococo period.
Lolita has made this into a unique fashion by adding gothic and original
design elements to the look. From this, Lolita fashion has evolved into
several different sub …styles and has created a devoted subculture in
Japan. The Lolita look consists primarily of a knee- length skirt or dress,
headdress, blouse, petticoat, knee-high socks or stockings, and
rocking horse or high heel/platform shoes.
Attendees are encouraged to bring food, since there will be a potluck with the photo shoot.
We hope to see you there.
