posted on by Andrew Osmond
London museum exhibit on British influence on "Lolita" style, begins April 23.
From April 23, London's Victoria and Albert Museum near South Kensington (directions) will have an exhibit on Britain's influence on Japan's "Lolita" fashion. The title of the exhibit is "Kitty and the Bulldog: Lolita Fashion and the Influence of Britain." According to the webpage:
Kitty and the Bulldog explores the way in which British fashion – notably Victoriana, Punk and Gothic – has influenced the development of Japan's ‘Lolita’ style, a cult fashion movement whose defining feature has been its preoccupation with cuteness, or ‘kawaii’. The display features nine outfits recently bought in Tokyo for the V&A's permanent collections.
The exhibition will be free, and will be in the Toshiba Gallery, room 45 of the museum. It will run until January 27 2013
