Chapter 1: Roots aesthetic
Where Lolita takes its inspiration?
To find out, will travel through time. Let us, first, the sixteenth century in England, during the "Elizabethan Period." Queen Elizabeth, known as "The Virgin Queen" is the power! During this time, that's where we usually teach the Renaissance reached its peak in Italy, we met this important figure, whose ornate and imposing style can be summarized as follows: Carve ♛

The trend continues this trend, it becomes "excessive" rise wigs, bleached skin and clothing levels theater is becoming more elaborate. Ladies and Gentlemen, we are in the Rococo.

traveling. Now let's stop in nineteenth century England. Already down the French monarchy (after the French Revolution in the late eighteenth century) and England estmp; aacute; s rodeos. product of conception epoch value (in addition to environmental factors, logical) fashion at this time England had a special characteristic: cuts are exquisite, though much more demure, the ladies wore long dresses, very notched with discrete patterns or patterns of stripes and elaborate hats, the knights wore Levites, high-collared shirts, vests, fabric, pocket watches ... and children ... children are the immediate inspiration, girls wore dresses above the knee, with ruffles, embroidery and lace, simple skirts and wide hem along acAlcetas long. Males, on the knee shorts, socks, jackets and shirts, hats as well as every knight. It is from these little people from whom the Lolita borrows much of its influence. 
And we are living the period known as Romanticism, which originated in Germany and England simultaneously during the Siglo XIX. In their eagerness to escape from rationality, the artists create a new revolutionary movement, where feelings imaginacióny acquire more power than ever. Freedom is the sole and assumes a constant quest is not without pain, fear and darkness. Reality no longer meets the man and the arcontractor does not feel satisfied. Decide, then look inspiraión in the past and exotic locations. Is this what we find in the writings of the time, those we call "Gothic Literature" right and rational world, we turn to the untamed lands of the imaginacióny, of course, also , na its more obscure.

're almost running out, we go to the 50's, in our twentieth century. Hence; Take the silhouette of women's dresses, pleated and notched or easier, but no less charming. The perfect housewife is also a role model in fashion and of course a valid inspiration for our style.
And now we have finished our journey, let's summarize:
- From Baroque and Rococo, we tailored silhouettes of the costumes of nobles and rich ornamentation.
- From Victorian times take tender lines of the costumes of children, with simple skirts and wide ring (for girls), shorts and hats (in For children.)
- From Romanticism (in particular, current romantic Gothic), we take the cuts simple and pure lines and the elegance "implicit."
- In the '50s, we take the simple lines of the dresses of women, the figure in "A" and pleated skirts.
We can then end the search for Lolita aesthetic roots. What remains now is to weigh all this practice, which is what I will discuss in my next pack.
