Taking Harajuku Fashion further: Lolita Goth

Anyone who makes it to Harajuku is in for a treat because the fashions are unbelievable. Like Camden in London, but a lot more weird. In 2001, believe it or not, harajuku fashion echoed the Amish folk in the Harrison Ford film 'Witness'. In 2002, the most popular harajuku style was grunge for the boys and Lolita Goth (also known as Goth Lolita, GothLoli, Gosurori and Loli-Goth) for the girls.
Lolita fashion is a style of dress that originated in Japan. Lolita is inspired by the clothing of Victorian women and children. It often aims to imitate the look of Victorian porcelain dolls. Other influences include goth style (particularly for Lolita Goth), horror movies, the punk subculture and anime characters.
