Gothic & Lolita Bible in English
Japan’s extremely popular Gothic & Lolita Bible will be released in English in the US next year.
In Japan, the quarterly magazine has a circulation of 100,000. Published by the same publisher who brings out KERA, the Gothic & Lolita Bible is just that, THE magazine for Japanese gothic and lolita fashion. At 0.6 inches (1.5 centimers) thick, this magazine is huge and literally loaded with information and photographs. It has played an instrumental role in defining the global look of gothic and lolita fashion.
In the US, the magazine will be published by TOKYOPOP, the company that started an extensive manga publishing program in North America some ten years ago. The company is now expanding worldwide and also works with film, television and digital entertainment.
The February ’08 English edition of the Gothic & Lolita Bible features an extensive guide to Gothic and Lolita fashion, as well as behind-the-scenes interviews with top Lolita fashionistas, including Doll creator Mitsukazu Mihara and J-pop princess Nana Kitade.
Comments
Thank you for such valuable and fascinating information on Japanese fashion!
I am currently completing my Dip Ed in LOTE (Japanese) and SOSE (Social Studies) so find up to date information/websites such as yours essential for lesson planning.
I am greatly inspired.
With gratitude
