Style Icon: Sailor Saturn (Hotaru Tomoe)

Filed under: Gothic, Outfit Ideas, Punk — Lisa @ 11:38 am

Sailor Moon would have to have been the first Japanese animation I remember watching as a child. I also remember running around playing Sailor Moon in my backyard – yes I know I am completely lame! All I wanted was to find my prince charming and have super powers and live happily ever after.

Violet-clad character, Sailor Saturn, is host of Mistress 9, creatting her to have many personalities and I suppose that’s why I choice her as my persona for this coordinate. As I feel I have a Mistress 9, 10 and 11 waiting to come out and fight the zombie apocolyse! (as they say ‘it’s not a mater of IF, but I WHEN’!)

Which Sailor Moon character are you?? Or what super power would you choose to have??

Damsels in Distress!

Filed under: Gothic, Punk — Meg @ 10:28 am

Beautiful and wistful, the distressed princess look is sweet hime meets goth. Her once sweet gown and curly locks is in disarray, and she covers her shoulders in a deconstructed shirt of her long lost lover. And yet, there is something sophisticated in the combination of sweet frills, corsetry, exposed petticoats and tragic facial expression.

Your princess in distress can be whoever you want her to be. She could be tragically beautiful pining for her lover, or sweet girl gone bad and doesn’t need a man anymore. Or she could just be a theatrical fashionista like me! XD

“Be with me always – take any form – drive me mad! Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! It is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!” – Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte

Being the distressed princess allows you to work with the best of both sweet hime and goth. It allows that little girl look to mature a bit, and gives your coordinate an interesting story. Personally I enjoy both H.Naoto’s deconstructed and distressed look but feel more comfortable in sweet fashion so this look gives me an interesting space to coordinate the two. Here are some H. Naoto looks from 2008. (If you’re a fan of H. Naoto, do let us know!)

You can tease your hair up and fill it bows and wear OTT makeup, or go for the minimalist look. Pink and black looks particularly spectacular and dramatic.

Here are some items in store to get you inspired!

Profile: Chubby Bunny!

Filed under: New Product/s, Outfit Snap — Imogen @ 12:36 am

It’s not hard to see why so many stars LOVE Hello Kitty x Chubby Bunny bows! They just look cute on EVERYONE don’t they?

So what’s the story behind this amazing collaboration, which debuted at Hello Kitty’s big 35th anniversary bash? Meet Michelle! She’s the designer and creator of Chubby Bunny:

“A native of Pittsburgh, Michelle moved to Japan and traveled throughout Asia for several years, before arriving in Los Angeles. Having written extensively on fashion both in the US and Japan, Michelle acted as an editor of the English language version of Gothic & Lolita Bible magazine. As a PR guru and event coordinating M.C. at Bubble Punch, Michelle has her hands full of bows, people, and… food.“

Isn’t she just the cutest? (We love your style, girl!) Like us here at Electric Alice, Michelle wanted to keep her love for Japanese fashion and fun alive after relocating home, so Chubby Bunny accessories is the result of all that pent up energy!

“Starting Chubby Bunny Accessories has been extremely rewarding, and has really shown me that I am not “talentless” after all. The concept for the bows started around spring of last year, and really came to a head during my collaboration with Sanrio for their Three Apples event in October of 2009. To my complete surprise, my red Hello Kitty bows were the best selling item of the entire 3-week event!“

We love that she’s such a savvy businesswomen, and yet still lovingly handcrafts every single bow to give it that quaint, unique touch. :)

Here she is again with Miss Kitty herself and a bevy of bow-wearing babes! (Try saying that three times fast!) We can’t wait to see what designs she comes up with next!
