In a where trends in fashion is changing with amazing speed,we often see clothing , accessories
and makeup styles extravagant makeup that seem to be drawn from some theatre play with
characters that are at the border of fantasy and reality.
If you prefer some complex outfits,special makeup and sophisticated
accessories we suggest you pay attention to the japanese visual kei style .
Laura : Around year 2010 i was just watching a youtube makeup tutorial where someone was receiving a very theatrical makeup but at the end of the video i realised
that the person was a man .I was fascinated by this transition from a man to a women .
Visual kei is not only a clothing style , it is also a music style . Visual kei emerged in the early 1980s in Japan ,that is characterized by the use of varying levels of make-up, elaborate
hair styles and flamboyant costumes. The theatrical side of all these things were really interesting
for me and this attracted my attention really much .
Clothes and accessories we wear speaks a lot about our personality but if you want a special
look out of the ordinary everything you need to do is to let go free your imagination
to realise most outstanding combinations . Laura : I like very much to create ,to customize clothes or outfits and different makeup styles.
When i want to create an outfit or a makeup style I'm inspired by my favorite artists like Mana Sama or Hakuei from Penicillin ,both are legendary in the visual kei music scene from Japan .
The style for today is called Elegant Gothic Aristocrat and i did a makeup using similar colours as my clothes , black and
purple . As you can notice it is very theatrical , very aristocratic style . The main point of this fashion style is the eye patch . I didn't bought it .
I created this eye patch with all the details on this,I accessorized with what is seen including with crown-shaped badge .This wooden stick I accessorized as
well with flowers as you can see . I love roses so much .
My favourite style was Gothic Lolita and consists of a skirt with many frills in black lace red corset and joben style hat.
For exemple I would recommend you to wear such an outfit at a carnival or a theatre show .
In the japanese fashion , visual kei style has become a driving force and the followers
see this more than a fashion style , they see it as self expression .
Laura : The reason why i decided to wear different kind of fashion styles
it is because i am very introverted person
and through these outfits i can express other faces of my personality
.Somehow these things give me a stately image . This is how i express myself
and all this become my big passion .
The greatest satisfaction I've had so far since i discovered this style called visual kei
has been that some of my pictures were shown
within a show from Tokyo called Kawaii International .After which I was very very.
happy and brought me to tears actually .I was really happy . That was the moment when i realised i should never give up ,
no matter what .My biggest dream is to become the makeup artist for different artists from Japan and to live in Tokyo in the future . ^_^
Thank you for watching ! 見ていただきありがとうございます!
