Candy Violet was established in 2005 to bring high quality, professional and beautiful Lolita clothing to people of all shapes and sizes any where in the world.

Lolita is a fashion subculture in Japan that is primarily influenced by Victorian children’s 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 length socks or stockings and rocking horse or high heel/platform shoes. Teddy bears and dolls such as Super Dollfies are often carried to emphasize the childlike look.

There are a lot of subtypes like Gothic Lolita , Sweet Lolita…read the rest here at wikipedia and more dresses at Candy Violet!

Well, it take a lot of resources to build up a brand / a business / a company… I am not sure that is a good idea or not for Candy Violet focusing on those sytles….  Will you buy some clothes from them?

These brand’s are casual brands not luxury brands. Now Japanese fashion trend tends to cheap fashion. Is the one of reason the global economic recession?

Even in the global economic recession, there are still some shops can do exceptionally well… Would Isetan Girl doing well in there days?
