Olga Nebot Australia Nominee People Professional "Lolitas" Lolita is seen as a reaction against stifling Japanese society, in which young people are pressured to strictly adhere to gender roles and the expectations and responsibilities that are part of these roles. Wearing fashion inspired by childhood clothing is a reaction against this. This can be explained from two perspectives. Firstly, that it is is a way to escape adulthood and to go back to the eternal beauty of childhood. Secondly, that it is an escape to a fantasy world, in which an ideal identity can be created that would not be acceptable in daily life. Some Lolitas say they enjoy the dress of the subculture simply because it is fun and not as a protest against traditional Japanese society. Some Lolitas also gain self-confidence by dressing in Lolita fashion or enjoy expressing an alternate identity. I capture this Lolita Group while they were exiting a convention from a famous hotel in Sydney, Australia. I happened to be there photographing a wedding, it was a glorious surprise to turn around an found myself surrounded by this pool of color. |
