POV: the mysterious Miss Cavendish heard you gossiping about her at a gala (New York, 1835)

I don't have the best motivation when it comes to studying anatomy and whatnot so I thought I'd try making it more fun and interesting by practicing poses and looking at fashion at the same time. (And drawing my favorite characters, of course.) The pose is from Adorkastock and I found the dress on the Met's costume archive!

I actually drew this before Searcher came out and was waiting to post it until I had a small batch of them, but I'm having some art troubles at the moment and wanted to post something fun in the meantime. :]

At first glance, gal fashion may seem like an imitation of its Western counterparts, but at the core of this movement was the motivation to dress like people who were far less distant: Shibuya 109's charismatic shop staff, magazine models, and domestic musicians. - Yusuke Arai, social anthropologist, pg 8

A quick scan of my blog will undoubtedly reveal a deluge of 90s-era gyaru: tan-skinned girls on towering platforms with white-painted eyes. I'm an old-school ganguro who loves old-school ganguros. 

As an old-school gal and lifelong student of gyaru fashion, I am constantly on the hunt for primary sources. I recently came across the book Shibuya 1999, a collection of photographs of Shibuya residents from the late 90s. Most of these residents are gals. 

Similar to what I did in my How To Be A Ganguro Girl post, I want to dive into Mike Nogami and Masami Takahashi's (collaboratively known as Clown) fantastic photography book to see what we can learn. There are too many beautiful coordinates in the book, and I want to give them all justice, so I'll divide this into parts. This is part one. 

It's possible that at the end, I'll compile a compendium of everything we learned. A fashion study review! 

But for now, let's tackle today's coordinates... Class is in session.

Jenn: *frantically searching things like “how to cope with bf being hot”, “help, my partner is sexy and I don’t know what to do”, etc*

I’ve been meaning to do some clothing stuff for all the guys so I can actually give them, well, styles and not just The One Outfit ™️ like a shonen anime…

But this might be dangerous for me cuz that bottom left fit got me like 🥵

He shouldn’t look so good in cop tops, I swear

Have just started reading “A Dialectical Journey through Fashion and Philosophy” by Eun Jung Kang. Will try to make chapter summaries. But I am very intrigued by the title! For a lot of people fashion is purely external, can be seen as frivolous. But it’s communication, it’s currency, it’s about ideas.
