Alternative title: Gothic Angelic Pretty!?
I've been following Lolita and Lolita print releases since... mid-2011, perhaps?
This is, obviously, only the very beginning of 2014. It's the first day of February! And yet in the month that has already passed full of wardrobe posts on EGL that make my heart weep, there's been a lot that's been released!Yes, it is 1/12 of the year, but some part of my subconscious still doesn't expect much activity in Lolita brands until about May or so.
Seriously, 2014 is off to a great start!
Angelic Pretty's Wonder Queen print from super late 2013
Angelic Pretty's Royal Unicorn Print, also from super late 2013
Angelic Pretty's Radiant Candlelight print, also also from super late 2013
Finally, something from 2014! Angelic Pretty's Secret Mansion OP
Of course, with the release of Romantic Rose Letter they've put themselves firmly back on the side of Sweet, but it was still interesting to see all the more mature and "darker" prints and dresses being released! I mean, obviously they're not releasing prints of JetJ-level classic or to the gothic caliber of Moitie, but I still find it fascinating how they've managed to put out dresses that are very different from the sugary sweetness they're known for, but still definitively Angelic Pretty!
What do you think of Angelic Pretty's recent foray into the novel? Do you think they're slowly going in a new direction, or that they were simply marketing toward the cold winter months? Personally, I find it lovely and hope they do it more in the future, although I certainly don't think they're going to even consider ceasing to be a mostly Sweet brand.
That's all I have for today, my lovely subjects! Until next time!
