The new Ank Rouge lineup is clearly inspired by the Girly Gal revival, sans the shoes.

Had an impromptu chat with @ushi418 about fashion history the other day- thought I’d post it here as a quick ref for people!

Since today is my 35th birthday, I put together a compilation of outfits I filmed during my 35th year on earth.

The production studio at "Baby, the Stars Shine Bright" featured in an episode of Tokyo Fashion Express. Their designs typically require up to 50 sewing patterns, which is about 5 times as many as the average dress. Detailed notes on measurements and specifications are written for the sewing factory.

The sewing factory is in Ibaraki prefecture. For more than 20 years they've been sewing clothes exclusively for BTSSB. 17 people work there, most of them being veterans age 60 or over. Due to the complexity they work in teams for ironing, sewing lace and ribbons, as well as completing gathers and frills.

The manager of the factory, Sumiko Watahiki, says in an interview: "There's tons of gather, lace, and layering, which requires a lot of sewing. At first, I doubted I could do it! It was that hard. (But) I'm always impressed with the adorable designs when I see the finished products or while I work."

Yet again, Tumblr ate my draft. But awesome question! As someone who used to be in the western gal comm (although I am no longer gyaru and now just appreciate from the sidelines), I feel like I’ll be able to give a pretty detailed response- but if any active experienced gals have more to add, please do so! @llimerense <-tagging so you see this!

First off, so long as the person wearing it is a gyaru, they are a gyaru. Wearing another fashion doesn’t negate their membership to their subculture. So long as the hair and makeup are gyaru, most gals assert that the coord the gyaru wears can be gyaru too, with some exceptions. After all, as the saying goes, “gal is mind!”

But I’d like to go into some differences in trends between the gyaru-styled himekaji coords popular about 10 years back as well as the girly kei himekaji that still lives on today!
