Idk if there's one of these threads already but I figured that there might be at least one other person beside me that still enjoys cult party kei.

CPK is dead

I love CPK, but there are like only 3 people in my country that share this interest.. orz

>using emoticons on an image board
my dear lonely CPK friend, we have 2 threads of reaction images up currently. you need not debase yourself like this.
I really like cpk and dolly kei. It's a shame they're both essentially dead
I really like CPK and I want to try to include in my wardrobe. I've tried buying stuff I thought fit the aesthetic nicely but I haven't been able to make an outfit I like yet... Although I'm pretty sure it's mostly because I don't have any fitting legwear/shoes/accessories yet.
But for one thing I'm glad I got interested in this style because it made me discover great thrift shops.
>check youtube wondering if there are CPK related hauls, lookbooks, whatever

why did you expose me to this horror
Somehow I feel like most western attempts at CPK miss the mark.
>>9206542
I think it's because it seems very few people understand it, a lot of people in the west think its random outfit + peignoir + flower crown
>>9207044
seen these tights twice now on 2 different people and been unable to get a source on them, if they're still available anywhere i'll get them in a heartbeat

Anon, you could maybe print these on artsmoo? Even if you're not skilled with design, you just need to open a new white document on -image editing software-, draw a red rectangle, and then draw the crosses or just use a cross brush or something. And then have that printed. That's what I'd do anyway but I'm a cheapskate.
i don't want to believe CPK is dead
>>9206542
yeah, this doesn't read as CPK to me. the makeup especially because i feel like it's supposed to be light and dreamy, similar to yumekawaii/byojaku looks. silhouette is too structured as well.

i love these bags so much
CPK just has such a homemade element to it that i want to see in more fashions
>>9207084
I agree. the handmade slightly shabby look to it is what draws me to it so much.
>>9207084
We can keep it alive in memory

This looks so damn comfy.
Stumbled upon this on pinterest, I thought it fit the CPK aesthetic nicely. Could see something like this as a pendant or just badge.
The blog it comes from has a few interesting things too I think.

I seriously need to to learn knitting and crochet so I can dive in the shabby DIY fun.
Alright, how about some questions to get the thread going.
>Do you wear CPK or are you just an admirer/plan on wearing it?
>Where do you find fitting pieces?
>What are your favourite aspects of the fashion?
>Are you part of any CPK related communities?
>Do you have any ideas why the style might be considered "dead" by some?
So I've come up with some sorta unfinished coords (I don't have any fitting legwear, shoes, or even accessories yet), so I might as well post here. Sorry for the shitty phone picture. Concrit welcome of course.
I feel like this might be too simple and needs some more pink or a little beige. I'm planning on customizing a bunch of tote bags so hopefully that would help bring it more together and give it a better CPK feel.

Fug sorry about the image, maybe this will be okay. http://imgur.com/a/j9Gd3

Anon... That vest just looks like pic related. Please don't wear that color
>>9219089
The neckline looks too plain, do you have necklaces or a false collar you can layer over it? And I think the vest can do with more pins/appliqués, you want to make it look more cluttered.
>>9219101
Eh it's not that orange. I guess it's a bit too bright over all the white but I like pinker coords so I'll find a way to have it look nicer.
Also when you wear it the sides hang more than this, it's not this blocky when it's flat like on the picture.
I do see what you mean though.
>>9219102
I barely have any accessories yet, most of my necklaces are long ones or very discreet so they're not great for this. Maybe a big comfy scarf could do nicely?
Also I'll do more pins yeah, these ones I did myself but I'll try to find some more when shopping.
