Lolita Fashion is a fashion subculture originating in Japan. It is influenced by Victorian children's clothing as well as elements from goth-culture and the Rococo period. Lolita fashion has evolved into several different sub styles and has a devoted following of fashionistas around the world. The Lolita look consists primarily of a knee length skirt or dress, blouse, petticoat, knee high socks or stockings and rocking horse or high heel/platform shoes with specific accessories including parasols, bonnets or mini-top hats, and lace gloves.
