WITH 13-YEAR OLD BLOGGERS TAKING OVER THE BLOGOSPHERE, YOUTH HAS BECOME THE TALK OF THE TOWN. FASHION DESIGNERS EVERYWHERE ARE GIVING IN TO THEIR CHILDHOOD FANTASIES, CREATING A SENSE OF NOSTALGIA WITH NEW SPRING COLLECTIONS. LOLITA, A TREND IN JAPAN (WHICH, IF YOU’VE BEEN, OR EVEN JUST VISITED ANY INTERNATIONAL LANDMARK WITH JAPANESE TOURISTS, ARE MORE THAN LIKELY TO HAVE SEEN) SEEMS TO BE INFLUENCING INTERNATIONAL DESIGNERS. A TREND WHEREBY WOMAN AND TEENAGERS DRESS UP IN WHAT APPEAR TO BE WHIMSICAL, NYMPHET LIKE FASHIONS MIMICKING THAT OF A MADE-UP CHILD OR PORCELAIN DOLL. A VERY GIRLY AND FEMININE FEEL, THE LOLITA TREND IS HUGE IN JAPAN CAPTURING WOMAN AND ALLOWING THEM TO RE-ENTER THEIR YOUTH! A SWEET AND DAINTY LOOK FOR SOME, CAN ALSO GO VERY ELABORATE WITH YOUNG GIRLS EXPERIMENTING SO FAR TO BECOME SLIGHTLY FRIGHTFUL LIFE-SIZED DOLLS. THIS SEASON, MARC JACOBS AND LUELLA HAVE BOTH USED OVERSIZED ALICE-IN-WONDERLAND-ESQUE BOWS AND PRADA HAS REINTRODUCED PINAFORES AND PIGTAILS- DOLLED UP WITH BARBIE STYLE SUNGLASSES AND SUGARSWEET LIPSTICKS. ACROSS THE POND, BETSEY JOHNSON’S COLLECTION COULD BE EASILY CONFUSED WITH THE WARDROBE OF ST. TRINIANS 3, WITH BRACES, TIED SHIRTS, AND LONG SOCKS AT THE READY.
I’M SURE THIS IS GOING TO GO DOWN WELL, WITH SOME EXCELLENT HIGH STREET VERSIONS, BUT I DON’T KNOW YET IF I’M ACTUALLY IN TO IT OR NOT. DO WE REALLY WANT THE FASHION WORLD FULL OF OVER-AGED ‘DOLLS’, ALL GRAPPLING FOR A SECOND LOOK AT THEIR YOUTH? AT THIS RATE- FORGET PRADA, WE’RE ALL GOING TO END UP CRYING TO MUMMY WHEN THEY’RE OUT OF STOCK AT TAMMY!

WITH THESE TRENDS FLOURISHING ALL OVER SPRING CATWALKS, AND TIM BURTON’S WHIMSICAL ADAPTATION COMING OUT 5TH OF MARCH, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS GOING TO BE THE YEAR FOR ALICE IN WONDERLAND. – I’LL SAVE THAT FOR ANOTHER POST WHEN EXAMS ARE OVER.
