Monthly Theme: What would you like to see in the future of lolita?

[sailorenceladus]

With the new AP and BTSSB fashion shows already showing us much of what will be released next year, we have a pretty good idea of what we'll be seeing released over the next few months from the main Japanese lolita brands. What series are you looking forward to

I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I would love more leopard print pieces! I'm really hoping I get something with leopard print in my BtSSB lucky pack. On the other hand, I'd really like to see less OTT dresses, accessories, etc. It's been so overwhelming lately and it just makes me feel like maybe a lot of people don't see lolita as a fashion but rather just a special occasion for meetups/conventions.

I love seeing leopard print in lolita too! I would never wear it myself (no way I could pull it off) but I love seeing it on other people. I like OTT dresses but there has an overabundance of them lately. Then again, the thought of an ott coord featuring a leopard capelet is appealing...

I never even thought about an OTT coord with leopard print but now that's totally something I want!

I really love semi-old AaTP as well. I liked the combo of thick material (the rough one) plus neat prints. Elizabeth Bride of Death, A Midsummer's Dream, End of Immortal Eden....wish they went back to the old glory T.T About Ragnarok, I think while the theme is great, the style is certainly different comparing to 2011-2012. Its material is (nice but) so thin, also the print is more "soft", blurred and not so defined as the old ones. It's intended to be different though! Maybe they could mix old and new styles to add more variety.
As for 2015, I'm quite content with the way things are now, maybe I wish Baby stopped to make so many OTT dresses, I never liked them and they make the fashion look like it's not daily and more of a costume. I like the direction AP is taking though.

I'm hoping for more interesting constructions/patterns. Other than that, I'd love to see Gothic Lolita take over in 2015! When I joined, everyone was about OTT Sweet, and then people turned to Classic, but I'd like to see more Gothic and more innovative prints. AatP's are great, but I feel like the recent Moitié one (Cross Print) and the one just put out by Angelic Pretty (Celestial) are a breath of fresh air!

I'd like to see more organza too, and I'm curious about pushing layering even further than just JSKs with long underskirts.

I agree. I'm a sucker for AP's non-print dresses because they have amazing construction details, and I've fallen in love with a lot of pieces from BABY due to their amazing construction and texture harmony. And I don't love much of JetJ because the construction can be so plain! It's either the texture created by the fabric(s) or the construction details that make me want a dress, rather than the print.

More animal prints in classic is something I'd love to see more of, I'd also like more classic fairy tale prints. At the same time I would also like to see more sailor lolita.

Hunting dog and equestrian prints sound so interesting! I'm fine with all the food prints I see, but I'd like if they branch out a little bit. For example, I'd love to do a fruit coord but I want navy as a main color so it'd be cool if there were blueberries or something instead of strawberries all the time...

More OTT Classic and maybe a Classic substyle with pastel Rococo looking dresses! I also really want more musical inspired prints, like an Into the Woods one. More chocolate brown blouses, more bell sleeves...I want more stuff in general. XD
