>>8670859>>Where did you first hear about otome kei?Probably here, but I got into lolita years ago through the fruits books and admired a range of fashions. I really like casual lolita, and was excited to hear there was a style that developed this.
>>What do you like about otome?I want to dress like I'm from the famous 5, or Milly Molly Mandy. Pretty much I aspire to be a children's book character of a young lady.
>>How would you describe your otome style? Currently I'm all about boots, ankle socks, sleeveless dress and cardigan. Lots of olive greens and pinks with a splash of red.
>>What are your current inspirations?Being myself, shouwa era japan(esp 1950s-1970s print), handmade accessories.
>>What's your favorite otome brand? What's your favorite print?I like that otome isn't really about brands, it's about the feeling, to me. Favourite print isn't a print, but polka dots. If I had to pick a proper print, etc dot rabbit.
>>If your favorite brand came to you and asked for an idea for a new print or collection, what would you choose?Pink and red and beige and olive, polka dots, longer hemlines, overskirts and tartan.
>>Do you wear styles besides otome? What are they and do you have favorite brands?I used to wear a lot of lolita, but otherwise I wear punk inspired fashions combined with plain main pieces.
>>What advice would you give to beginners just starting out in otome?Enjoy yourself and dress to your size. Don't go labelling your outfit, you should look and feel natural, like they are just clothes, not like you've studied and replicated a style.
