Lucca comics and games 2012

Lolita Fashion Show in Lucca comics

Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th November I went to Lucca for the annual comics festival.
The trip from my city was long and tiring but, as always, it was an experience very fun and enjoyable.
In particular Saturday I attended, with Federica and Chiara, the Lolita Fashion Show organized by the Italian community  (Gothic Lolita Zone), before and after the show I knew in person new girls and met again others after about a year (the last lolita national meet I enjoyed was the NIMI in Florence).
We were divided into four groups corresponding to the four seasons and styles: Spring for classic, Summer for sweet, Autumn for pirate and punk and Winter fot gothic.I walked the runway in the gothic group and wore the AATP Gathered Chiffon matched with a bonnet full of accessories.

 

Jsk: Gathered chiffon AATP
Bonnet: BTSSB
Bag: taobao

Shoes: Antaina
Rosary, crosses and ring: Graveyard Rose† Shattered Memories (https://www.facebook.com/GraveyardRoseShatteredMemories?ref=ts&fref=ts)

Sunday, despite the rain, I cosplayed as Tomoe Mami paired with Chiara (Madoka) from the popular anime Mahō Shōjo Madoka Magika:

We should have been present all four days of the festival but this year we decided to save for the trip to Japan that we will take in a month ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)/

Harajuku Fashion Walk -ITALY- (english version)

Saturday, October 20th in Pescara took place the Harajuku Fashion Walk.

I think it's the first one in Italy☆彡
The idea was born inspiring to the homonymous Japanese event where guys, dressed in their own style, march in Harajuku, the more eclectic district of Tokyo.

I have created and organized the event with Federica and Chiara more than one month before trying to gather many people as possible ...... it was a real success, forasmuch as in our region such events do not happen every day!

 Many curious feedthrough stopped us for information about what was happening and some even wanted to take pictures with us \ (^ o ^) /
Here in Italy the mentality is still a little closed and see people dressed a little different is a novelty (often negative), people always insult us but fortunately there is also who tries to understand and asks for information about it.

 

 The meeting was in Piazza Salotto at 15.30, after a while we started the walk along the course and, after the stops in major comics shop of Pescara (Acme Fumetti&Dintorni -which gave us like present the "KyaryMameshiba" pin-, Games Academy Pescara and Mangame ) we were directed to take pictures.

 We have tried to represent some of the most popular fashion currently in Tokyo (sweet and gothic lolita, gyaru, kodona, pastel goth, cybergoth...); some guys were also in cosplay (Abruzzo in Cosplay) and in traditional Japanese clothes.

Many thanks to Andrea Lanzilli (who took beautiful photos), if you want to take a look here there's his FLICKR account.

*WARNING*

This post is written only in Italian, i will post the one in English (including video and more photos) tomorrow.

Sabato 20 Ottobre a Pescara si è svolto l'Harajuku Fashion Walk.

Come si evince dal titolo abbiamo preso spunto dall'omonimo evento (ormai giunto alla decima edizione) che si tiene a Tokyo periodicamente e vede come protagonisti ragazzi e ragazze che sfilano nel proprio stile passeggiando per Harajuku, il quartiere più colorato ed eclettico della capitale nipponica.

L'idea è nata durante una delle uscite pomeridiane insieme a Federica e Chiara....."E se organizzassimo anche noi un evento del genere in Abruzzo?". Detto, fatto: il giorno dopo abbiamo creato l'evento su FB e iniziato a raccogliere adesioni.

Nonostante (credo) sia il primo evento a tema in Italia e considerando che Pescara non può essere paragonabile a Roma o a Milano (senza offesa), IMHO l'evento è stato un vero successo!

L'appuntamento era a Piazza Salotto alle 15.30, dopo un pò di attesa abbiamo iniziato la passeggiata lungo il corso e dopo le tappe nelle principali fumetterie pescaresi: Acme fumetti&dintorni (che ci ha omaggiati della "KyaryMameshiba" spilletta),  Games Academy Pescara e Mangame, ci siamo diretti a fare le foto di gruppo e individuali, scattate abilmente da Andrea Lanzilli.

A nostro modo abbiamo cercato di rappresentare ciò che ci piace (Io ho sfoggiato il mio Chess Chocolate <3), oltre allo street fashion (lolita, gyaru, kodona, pastelgoth, cybergoth) c'erano anche alcuni ragazzi in abiti tradizionali e membri del gruppo Abruzzo in cosplay.

Durante la passeggiata non sono mancati gli insulti, specie da ragazzi e bambini, ma per fortuna molte persone si sono avvicinate incuriosite e affascinate da quello che stavamo facendo.....In Italia credo che purtroppo non siamo ancora pronti per eventi del genere ma spero che continuando ad essere perseveranti riusciremo a smussare un pò questa barriera che altro non può essere che ignoranza.

Se volete vedere altre foto, questo è l' Album FB di Andrea e questo il suo FLICKR  
Domani scriverò un altro post in inglese a riguardo con più foto e con il video (^_−)−☆


(^o^)／ ＼(^o^)／＼(^o^)／ ＼(^o^)／＼(^o^)／ ＼(^o^)／＼(^o^)／ ＼(^o^)

   In serata ci siamo diretti presso la libreria "K-Libri e altre Meraviglie" per la presentazione di due libri scritti da Valentina Testa: "Kawaii Art" e "Gothic Lolita" in cui si esplora il concetto di kawaii e si parla, appunto, delle mode giapponesi.
Questo è il volantino, io e Federica abbiamo fatto da moderatrici (#^.^#)

 

 

Io e Valentina, spero di rivederla presto!

A domani con il video dell'Harajuku e come sempre
Thanks for watching ☆彡
