Larme Kei - Battle for the "Top Tier" of Larme Girls Edition

reposted because my dumb ass didn't remember to add a title.

Readded the brand and models list upon request. If someone would like t help update it or ideally take it over that would really be great. I don't have much time to do so now.

Also again sorry for being late.

What brands have stuff that you like this season? Personally I'm really digging Eatme and Honey Cinnamon, while Mon Lily and Bonbon are a pass.

Eatme is by far my favorite this season. They always have such nice, sleek designs. Some of them could be great workwear, while others have a little bit more flare. I think it's just a solid brand all around and they really know who they are, while some other brands *coughmonlilycough* seem to be losing sight of that.

Agreed on bonbon. Bonbon was novel when Risa first became fashion director or whatever her title is, but since then they haven't really innovated that much. Most of the time they just rehash the same designs, tweaking them in minor ways each season. And their quality has been talked of to death, so unless they release something amazing I don't see the appeal. I own some of their stuff and honestly I don't wear it much...

I feel like Ank Rouge always has some good staples, but I've bought so much from them that it gets kind of samey samey. But if you're looking for some filler they're always a good bet. Not like Mon lily which has sort of gone off the deep end. I don't know WHAT is going on with their designs lately. Some of their stuff is still cute while others just look ugly or cheap.

Honey Cinnamon is also great for staples and they've had some cute stuff lately. Their new set ups are pretty cute. I'm glad they seem to be pulling back a little from their more overly cutesy designs.

I still like Fallin's stuff but I'll probably never wear it so I'll pass. There are other brands but those are the ones I pay attention to. Other than Very Brain, which I just stare wistfully at from afar.

Honestly though, I've been most excited by NON brand pieces. Normie stores are killing it right now. Waiting on this dress currently.

There is so much good stuff out there that there's almost no excuse to not be able to dress at least semi decently. There's even some plus sized options now which is nice.

If anyone is looking for offbrand lists then chiffontears on tumblr does a bunch of them for different stores and she has a pretty good eye imo.

Yes, I've been debating about buying a pair in black velvet but the rose/lilac color is gorgeous

>>9373184
It definitely is. The girl in that pic coordinated it well. I wonder how well it could be coordinated with lighter colors, or if it's more of a dark color thing. Maybe a nice red would look nice with it too? Like burgundy.

What's the deal with people associating Melanie Martinez and Larme?

>>9373190
Because Larme sometimes attracts some ddlg and nymphet fucks.

I think people see the clothes and it gets crossed but it could also be the "sickly sweet - twisted mind girly girl" attitude getting crossed over.

Personally, I hate it - I think Larme is more of a melancholic mentality rather than broken babygirl.
Fuck you Martinez for infantilizing women and femininity.

Well Katie does have some baby toys prints...

I just shake my head and try to ignore all the blatant nymphet crap. Theres plenty of good stuff in Larme that doesn't have the nymphet theme.

Kind of a newb question but what kind of shoes are good for larme? I love platforms but sometimes I want to go casual. Any suggestions?

Depends on what kind of outfits you're wearing obviously, but I'd say safe bets are heeled sandals, mary janes, and shoes with lace up details (and maybe shoes with pom poms if you're going for that sort of look). The ones in pic related are what I think might make good basics, and all but the top right are from normie stores. And they're mostly heeled but heels aren't 100% necessary, especially if you're dressing casual.

Sneakers and boots can also be good, I think I've seen satin sneakers and whatnot in the magazine before.

>>9373239
I've seen pacifiers in larme

I just got this skirt from H&M after seeing someone post it in the Comm (this is her picture not mine).

Zara, H&M and other mainstream brands seem to be coming up with very larmeable stuff lately.
Do you have any offbrand coords that you like? I'm looking for inspiration on how to style this skirt too.

Well here's one "coord" of the skirt of you can call it that. Pretty basic but at least it gives you an idea of how it can be worn. I'd like to see it coordinated with a bit of color tho.

Finding offbrand coords I actually LIKE is proving to be more difficult than I thought it would be. I was trying to find all offbrand but most people mix and match with brand pieces so that can be hard to do.

There are so many people in this style who honestly just aren't fashionable. And those that are tend to just buy brand, maybe throwing in a few offbrand things.

That said, I tend to like chiffontears's outfits.

It is impossibly to make a good moral decision and buy unnecessary luxury items at the same time.

I love this! I may try to figure out that hair. But I don't think regular Larme would suit me.Back to lurking.

OH MY GOD she looks like a modern version of Fran Fine! And I mean that in the best possible way.

>>9373835
>So is every single big company in the world
No it really isn't.. Zara is one of the top tier shittiest companies in my country and the owner is one of the wealthiest men in the world. The ownerd of eatme, katie, rosemarie seoir etc are women who love fashion and don't employ child slaves, don't steal artwork, haven't made any anti-semitic clothes, and so far no rumors about them sponsoring corrupt politicians. Maybe their companies aren't big enough? Then why buy from big companies like zara if a dress at zara costs me just as much?

>>9373963
I might could pull off something like >>9373156. But I'm plus sized and started getting cellulite from a birth control I was on recently, and I'm insecure about showing my bare thighs. I've been losing a little weight to try and make it less prominent, but... from what I've read it will never really go away completely.

>>9373969
Birth control is pure shit, get something with less hormones if you value your body

>>9373973
Assuming you mean pills or injections

>>9373973
I mean also assuming you're not trying to avoid crippling pain because none of the non-hormonal ones fix that.

Do you think wearing a scarf (?) on your head like that works for larme?

>>9373965
>tfw you're the wealthiest men in one of the poorest EU countries and you don't pay taxes

>>9373973
Hormonal birth control has different side effects for each person, no one method is going to be good for everyone or bad for everyone. Also this is way off topic.

>>9373986
I think it could possibly work in a more glamourous outfit? But it just looks a bit wacky because people don't wear them very often nowadays, apart from old ladies (at least in my country).

>>9373969
There are some nice plus size options out there now. And maxi dresses/skirts are in right now so you could always try those if shorter things won't work for you.

Also I know tights aren't shown much in the magazine itself but they might help if you're self conscious about cellulite.

Did a quick search and found this (sorry for the iPhone screen shot, asos isn't letting me just save the picture.)

http://m.asos.com/us/elvi/elvi-premium-shimmer-pleated-dip-hem-skirt-with-lace-detail/prd/7543176?iid=7543176&sgid=14574&clr=Nude&cid=9577&pgesize=50&pge=0&totalstyles=99&gridsize=2&gridrow=5&gridcolumn=1

The price is a little expensive but asos's stuff goes on sale often. Either way I just wanted to highlight what I'm talking about.

>>9373969
I also like to cover my thighs, and I haven't been having any trouble doing it. I love long pleated skirts, long gathered skirts are great too. I've also got a denim skirt that's kind of a pencil skirt, but it's a-line enough that it doesn't hug anywhere unflattering. It's great because I can wear it with an oversized brand tee, frilly pink bag to contrast the denim, and maybe a leather jacket and I think that's a really easy outfit for bigger girls.

>>9374048
Sheer black tights are my staple, if they don't match an outfit, plain pantyhose will do. I hate having bare legs.

>>9373678
Maybe i'm crazy but isn't the slit supposed to be on the back?

>>9373973
Yeah, I got an copper IUD. Go back in time and tell past me that! I even started getting migraines from it!

>>9374048
>>9374247
>>9374048
I like that. I like maxi skirts and I actually look good in pencil skirts because my legs and butt and waist have nice proportions, I'm just worried about doing it wrong and looking less like a gamine in a 1960s film and more like someone's fetishy secretary. Maybe I'll give it a shot. These looks are all so airy and simple looking. Plus it would be a good style for work, too.

>>9373965
> big company
> comparing to eatme, katie, rosemarie, etc

Larme brands are tiny indie brands. Zara is a brand that's known internationally, and tries to squeeze in a store in every major "high fashion" shopping street or mall. The good thing about larme is that it's just small indie stores doing what's popular and they have the bonus of appealing to fashionable people and weebs. The bad thing about larme stores is that this style is in-trend for normies right now, which is why HM, F21, etc. all have stock of really larmeable pieces. So these tiny Japanese indie brands are going to stay tiny.

>>9373739
She looks fabulous.

It's really super common for men to have this fetish for some reason. I've met a lot of men since I started dating who are specifically looking for a younger girl who's into calling them daddy, very light BDSM, and usually buying girls shit. I can't tell if they think that's the only way women will put up with them or if they enjoy having that kind of power over women, but honestly it feels like a topping from the bottom fetish almost- they really want a girl who pretends they are in charge while they put her on a pedestal and do everything she asks. I don't get it.

I changed my online dating profile to not have any kawaii things, even though I enjoy kawaii things, because I don't want to do this kind of thing. Those dudes always seem to be miserable divorcees.


Sorry. I came to this thread to say that I tried a Larme makeup tutorial and instead of making me an adorable elf, it made me look like I've about to cry. Help?

>>9375135

Is this not the ideal larme look?

>>9375798
>>9375211
I guess? The models look less sad to me- maybe because they're asian or because I don't think about model's facial expressions in the same way. Sometimes they look a bit sad, but always very ethereal and fresh. Maybe I need more practice or a different bb cream.

>>9375883
I wish switching bb creams made me look less sad

Gulls, what are some people/groups/brands etc. that are never explicitly referred to as larme but still fit the aesthetic for you? I'm thinking of Barrack Room as one example

Not really.
It's the girls who are always pushing this cringy shit. Why else was 50 shades of grey so popular?

>>9378794

She's like a more cutesy version of Risa

>>9373140

Eat me is nice but you have to be short and skinny as fuck for it to look good desu

>>9378798
Was 50 shades of grey a daddy thing?

I don't know, maybe it's just my baby face, dudes are always trying to get me to do shit like that.

>>9379988
Uhh it's Japanese brand. I feel like you're just stating the obvious with this.

That said I am neither as short nor as skinny as their models but eatme still flatters me well. Their stretchy items can accommodate a fairly good amount of sizes, and I usually get the m size when it's offered for their non stretch items.

>>9373231
can you/someone else post more photos of larme like the bottom right?

>>9381132
That picture with Risa is from Katie's Pretty Baby catalog not from Larme

Iirc it was potentially larme or normie, she just had a leopard print top and fluffy pink skirt. Nothing that amazing considering it was a photo of her back walking away and that those things are in normie stores.

>>9378798
Yes, 50 shades invented BDSM. There definitely wasn't a market for BDSM shit prior to 50 shades. You figured it out.

I didn't notice that, but they had them in-store so they might restock or have them in the other countries

It's rude and creepy to take pictures of strangers without asking them. Lolitas have had to deal with people doing that to them for a while so I'm sure that has played into people's sensitivity.

>>9382064
You clearly can't into reading comprehension. Why are there so many retards here?

>>9381884
Depends on the country, in most places taking a picture of someone in public is okay, (but rude) but uploading it to facebook/social media/the internet can be a crime.

>>9382259
Yeah, it's nice to get asked. Still flattering to think of someone taking a picture of a nice outfit (without your face in). Not a good idea to post unsolicited photos publicly, though.

>>9381844
I missed that. I'm not a fan of people taking photos of me in public. I know it's legal but it unnerves me anyway.

>>9382259
No caps, but it was just a blurry shot of the back of a girl and guy walking down the street in front of a Debenhams. The girl had a leopard jacket and silky/flowy pink skirt with lace trim. The caption was something along the lines of, "I know that it's rude to take pictures without permission, but she was so cute that I couldn't resist!"

Then there were a few comments saying that they should have gone up and asked her for a photo, and that it was rude to snap her without her knowledge. The poster got really huffy and said "Well, going up to her and interrupting her day with her friend would have been MORE rude!!11 I didn't know that this group was full of SJWs, I'M LEAVING."

Mild keks were had.

>>9382587
Wait did she really leave? I only saw the critical comments and then the mod post later

>>9382587
>Well, going up to her and interrupting her day with her friend would have been MORE rude!
I can understand feeling uncomfortable with interrupting a stranger, but does she not know the feeling when a stranger compliments your outfit?

>>9382441
Where I live it's illegal, unless it's a crowd shot and you can't regonize people. When people take pictures without permission (and if when they're told to stop they are rude about it), we *will* tell them it is illegal.

>>9382587
Sorry, but I kind of agree with them a little. I hate going up to people to bombard them with compliments. I feel like most people aren't even grateful. They always seem caught off guard and slightly irritated that anyone has anything to say about their appearance.

>>9383493
Get over it if you want a picture of a stranger. If you can't talk to them then don't take a picture of them. If you don't care about yourself, imagine someone you don't know taking a picture of your best friend, your sister, your mom etc with asking them, and you not knowing if it was for a good or bad purpose, and even if it was for a good purpose, uploading it to a place where people with less savory motives may see it. I can't believe people don't see the big deal here. The larme group mods can be crazy but I think this is totally rational.

Anyway. When's the next issue supposed to come out? I have some music I want to order from cdjapan and I'm trying to wait until the next larme is announced. It should be soon, right? Ready for more gingham and denim?

i think it would take away the sad/melancholic vibe since it's funny in a goofy way instead of bittersweet like >>9383778 but i still think it would work with larme clothes, especially in a slighly edgier coord.

>>9384400
Thanks anon. Yeah, it just gave me that "my English isn't great but let's print this" vibe. It feels like bullshit t-shirts are part of larme, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. But yeah, live for edgier coords and I was going to put it together with something inspired by Ruka (and Risa).

I still have no idea what they were thinking.

>>9384386
I think it gives off that perfect engrish vibe, and the design and colours are wonderful, so I would say go for it! Would be great paired with black.

No. I don't need it for Larme, I need it for my novelty tee collection

>>9385384
Just search google for the text on the shirt, buy a similar one, then sew lace up ribbon up the sides. Done.

>>9385384
Fair enough. What >>9385440 said - these are by no means original designs. Weird that Rosemarie seoir of all places literally just threw ribbon at the normiest of normie items

50 shades isn't a daddy/age play/nymphet thing. It's also not the first popular bdsm focused book or movie for that matter. As to whether men or women are more into any specific fetish, well who fucking knows. Sure seems like a lot of the abdl/ddlg blogs on tumblr are run by females.

>>9382259
I feel like it's a real case-by-case situation. If I noticed a cute girl taking my picture I'd be okay with it. A random dude, not so much. Even a cute girl with a mean expression would raise red flags and make me feel uncomfortable to be honest


>>9382868
>does she not know the feeling when a stranger compliments your outfit?
Ha, probably not. But that's one of the best feelings, definitely

>>9373744
seen this girl around, is everyone else just not noticing the extreme shoop on her? :(

>>9388739
I'm not actually sure anon. I like the aesthetic she has, and it's no different to what happens in the magazine imo.

But I am really weirded out by her getting a place on what's that blog? Petite dollies? At the time she had like three outfit pics up and barely any social media presence.

Idk if it's just the rejected nerd in me but all of the "Top" larme girls strike me as cliquey bitches who've learned from the lolita comms how to keep it more secret.

>>9388800
What do you mean getting a place on that blog? She and Ruka both cofounded it, I assume because they're friends. They recently added another girl too.

And yeah my bets are on the "rejected nerd" part of you reading into things too much. I'm definitely no "top" Larme girl or anything, but I've approached and taked to most of the girls who are well known in the community. They're not that intimidating.

>>9388819
Oh haha! my bad, I saw her reblog the actual new girls post and didn't realise it was a reblog. I hadn't put her face to her name so just assumed she was the new one, and thought it was weird they were bringing another girl who looked so similar to the people they already had.

>And yeah my bets are on the "rejected nerd" part of you reading into things too much
It's usually the simplest explanation, eh?

It's not as if I think they'd be horrible if I or anyone else spoke to them directly though, more a suspicion that they're secretly laughing and bitching about the "lesser" members of the community. Especially because of how afraid certain members are of being posted and talked about here, and how tight they have the fb group locked up etc.

No evidence, and just a feeling on my part though.

>>9388846
Honestly I think it's mostly lurkers who do the anon "bitching" here, not so much the more active girls.

Personally I don't get why people are "so afraid" of being talked about here. I had my pictures posted here back when I actually posted outfits and I got some negative comments but nothing as drastic as I've seen from, say, the Lolita comm. it's really not that bad. but I used to get death threats back in other (non fashion) comms I used to be a part of so maybe I'm just desensitized at this point. There are some "don't cry baby" threads in the cgl archives if you're interested in looking up what really went down. They locked the fb up after that and for the most part people here just kind of agreed not to bring up stuff posted in the fb comm too much because we honestly do not want the drama the lolita comm has. The original don't cry baby threads weren't meant to be a "laugh at this Larme-ita" but more as "if she did this and this it would look much better." At least that's how it seemed to me.

And the girls who get talked about most often in these threads seem to be the girls who were formally a part of the Lolita or gyaru comma, so I would suspect we have quite a few people who trickle over from there to see what these "efame" girls are up to next.

Still though I think you have this mean girls mentality where all the popular girls are on this pedestal looking down at everyone else. Sure there's bound to be bitching and criticism in every comm, especially when it comes to fashion, but it isn't some haves vs the havenots thing.

>>9388880
I dunno man, the only real bitching we get in here is
>This isn't j-fashion ban it from cgl etc etc
and they're fags from other threads who basically don't seem to get the point of wearing something if you don't stand out to normies. Funny considering how much people bitch and moan about normies not behaving exactly how they'd like in the feels and stories threads. But I digress...

Yeah exactly. The fact we're mostly nice and give (Imo at least) pretty good, honest concrit. Why are they so afraid of being discussed here if that's all that's going to happen? Usually when someone thinks cgl (or 4chan as a whole even) is made up of mean boollies! it's because they have either never been here, or they are one of the shitposting bullies themselves. Really strongly reckon it's the latter for some members, and they know if they don't keep shit on lockdown that stuff will somehow leak. Whenever a mod or whatever used the excuse of "protecting the members" you know it's just an excuse for them to do what they want to save their own hide.

>and for the most part people here just kind of agreed not to bring up stuff posted in the fb comm too much because we honestly do not want the drama the lolita comm has

It's a shame really. I'm kind of annoyed that everyone just agreed to this - cgls ethos was always if you post online you can't complain if you get reposed, and we lost a lot of content for the threads because of it - but at the same time it just shows how even here people are willing to play nice.

>Still though I think you have this mean girls mentality where all the popular girls are on this pedestal looking down at everyone else. Sure there's bound to be bitching and criticism in every comm, especially when it comes to fashion, but it isn't some haves vs the havenots thing.

Like I said, it's just me and it's just a feeling. I will say though, if you are a have, you will never notice the dichotomy of have vs havenot unless it's pointed out to you.

>>9382353
>>9382307
>>9382441
Eh. I don't think I'd say anything if someone took my photo in public when I was really dressed up unless they seemed super creepy or were taking upskirt/cleavage pics or something, but... I would really prefer they keep those pics to themselves unless they ask. I have this fear of finding myself posted online somewhere with a bunch of people making fun of my outfit or my hair or something from me on the bus or something.
>>9383778
I need that shirt even if I never wear it with a Larme coord.

>>9388938
I haven't seen the "Larme is too normie for cgl" stuff in a while so that's good. But yeah that used to come up what, every other thread? Got old real fast.

>Usually when someone thinks cgl (or 4chan as a whole even) is made up of mean boollies! it's because they have either never been here, or they are one of the shitposting bullies themselves.

Whenever a mod or whatever used the excuse of "protecting the members" you know it's just an excuse for them to do what they want to save their own hide.

And I know chieko (who is a mod) got in some shit for ragging on Dakota on a post in the fb comm a while back (sorry no one got screens but it was discussed in the archives). Like yeah I don't like Dakota, but I'm also not a mod who's claiming to promote a "positive place". That was after the lock down and I think during the beginning of them wanting to get rid of ghost members in some bizarre attempt to get rid of the people posting to cgl, so it was pretty hypocritical of her. Definitely showed a bit if her nasty side. So you may be on to something there.

It's funny but I don't even consider the mods of the fb comm to be "top" Larme girls in any sense of the word. They're not who first comes to mind. So maybe we were thinking of completely different people in the first place.

As for the unspoken agreement to not post stuff from the fb comm, I think a part of that too was that janitors started deleting screenshots and such reposted from the comm. I guess someone went on a reporting binge. I had some stuff deleted where I was taking about certain mod decisions and it turned me off from discussing anything about the fb comm. that hasn't happened lately though. The drama with the one girl who couldn't take crit on her weird photo poses last thread wasn't taken down.

>>9389086
>>I will say though, if you are a have, you will never notice the dichotomy of have vs havenot unless it's pointed out to you.

Hmm... would they "haves" in this case be people with a lot of Japanese brand? Or people who really fit the Larme aesthetic? Personally I don't fit either of those categories.

>>9388974
I think with Larme, the chances of ending up on "people of Walmart" or something are a bit slimmer than most other jfashions. So there's that.

>>9388938
>Whenever a mod or whatever used the excuse of "protecting the members" you know it's just an excuse for them to do what they want to save their own hide.
I really got this impression with Chieko, I'm pretty sure that when people on here were dissing her for dissing Dakota she went crazy and tried to lead people towards getting rid of 'ghost members'. But then another mod called her out on not even asking the rest of them about it.

I'm also with >>9389086 in not really considering the mods the most well known people of the comm. It's sort of reassuring because otherwise they'd come off as super e-fame hungry but none of them use their power to promote themselves or anything so it's fine.

>>9388846
>a suspicion that they're secretly laughing and bitching about the "lesser" members of the community
tbqh just try to add some of them on fb, they accepted my request even though I've barely posted on the group. There's only one who seems a bit off to me because she's big on insta, but maybe I'm just reading into the tryhard-ness of her looks for larme.

>>9388938
>I'm kind of annoyed that everyone just agreed to this - cgls ethos was always if you post online you can't complain if you get reposed, and we lost a lot of content for the threads because of it

This so much. For the average person, people were just giving the concrit people were too scared to give in the group and it was mostly pretty polite. These threads have seemed a lot quieter since then

>>9389241
Samefag to say it's also a shame because I've been wanting to say how much people have been improving since they were first posted/given concrit.

I found some weird alt-right thread in /pol/ talking about bringing Japanese fashions like Larme to the US to get leftist women to realize how much better "tradition" is. I SEE YOU BITCHES LURKIN.

For the record, I was searching google for Larme kei. I would never actively browse the cancer that is pol.

>>9389384
They realize Larme has had spreads on like Riot Grrrl right? Some brands have also made pieces with the word "feminist" on them too.

>>9389519
I don't know. Honestly I hate when any fashion becomes a platform for political shit.

I also won't wear shirts that say Lolita either, but that's another thing entirely.

>>9389536
K but that doesn't explain why theyre trying to make it some kind of subversive movement.

>>9389547
That thread is pretty much LARPing that will go nowhere. People aren't really shutting down the fashion because the board is anti degeneracy, and lolitas to them look pretty traditional.

If you want to know why in their LARP fantasy they'd use your fashion it's what I already told you. If they could use women as prop pieces to further an agenda it'd go a long way. Women are pretty much immune to criticism and it'd get those orbiting white knights to defend their views as well.

>>9390599
Larme has always been a bit "poisonous" in tone. It's based off of western nymphet fashion, so Lolita herself, and she's often described as youthful and cute but there's a lot of dark themes regarding her as well.

I'm kind of sad because originally Lolita fashion had this tone to it, hence the name it got, but it's gone so sugary sweet and classic these days. The reason why lolita as a name was ever used at all is because the Japanese associate the word with something cute with maybe darker undertones.

Larme question to keep it on topic - How many of you wear it on a regular casual basis? We have con-lolitas so do we have any con-larme ladies?
For me, I have a small wardrobe so I've kept it aside for date nights and when I'm going out with my friends who dress in other fashion subcultures

>>9378794
she has the same eye corners/ tear duct shape as Risa. Is it some sort of cosmetic enhancement? I looks a little uncanny uncanny valley at times to me, but also really cute and cat-like.

>>9390599
Grunge looks have been very influential in parts of larme recently, even taking inspiration from Courtney Love and a little further back, Sid and Nancy. Kinderwhore, riot grr etc, but with a larme lens - it plays into 'hyper feminine with a touch of poison' very well.

>>9390873
eyeliner

>>9390843
I wear Larme pretty often. I definitely put more effort into it if I'm going out somewhere special, but I wear it even around town. At the very least, even if it's not an outfit I would classify as "Larme", I'm usually wearing something from my Larme wardrobe. It's a lot more versatile than lolita imo.

>>9390843
Most of my day-to-day wardrobe is Larme so I do wear it to some degree every day regardless of how much effort I put into an outfit. I live in a very northern country though and it's hard to find proper winterwear that's aesthetic, so that puts a damper on my style.

This is gorgeous but in thumbnail it looks like there's a bald/thinning patch and now I can't unsee it

I don't think this has been discussed before. What do you think about replicas in larme?

>>9391976
I don't personally care what people do either way, though I don't think I own any. I know it's definitely not as much of a controversy as in lolita.

>>9390843
My wardrobe is inspired by a couple different jfashions but I wouldn't say it's one thing or the other. I've been having a lot of fun with the makeup styles in larme lately. I don't usually wear a lot of eyeshadow or blush so it's fun.

Also, that Joan of Arc pic is super cute.

>>9390824
I dress a lot like the two girls on the far left, but I'm a recovering goth and still trying to adjust to wearing light colors and not being afraid everything will stain.

>>9388739
all she does is blur her skin and paint on some makeup like the larme models. she pretty much looks like that IRL, i'm a friend

>>9392153
That's unreal. I wouldn't have believed it but her latest blog post looks that way, too. She might be one of the only people who'd need to shoop herself to look unshooped. Or maybe go for more natural eyelashes - I think they're what exaggerate her look. Either way, she's really pretty.

>>9392153
>>9392187
eh, I'm still suspicious. Don't get me wrong though, I'm pro shoop; if it makes the end image better for someone to edit themselves I'm all for it, even if it's messing about with their face/features.

Her nose looks like an almost botched nosejob though, I find it really hard to believe it's like that irl, or I imagine she'd have a lot of trouble breathing? The tip and nostrils are so small.

>>9392201
Not that anon but here's the tutorial on how she does her pictures. It looks like the way she lightens it also makes her nostril sort of disappear

>>9392201
>how does she breathe with such a small nose
anon what

>>9392279
You what. How is this not obvious. Less nostril = less air.

It is the single most common complaint after a rhinoplasty - People get tiny itty bitty nasal tips and nostrils and then come out of surgery and realise they can't breathe anymore. and no, it's not because of the swelling. I'm talking about after it's all healed.

Hence why I said it looks "almost botched" if someone went to a surgeon and said they wanted a nose as small as hers, they'd be refused unless the surgeon didn't give a shit about their ability to breathe normally.

>>9392201
What are you on even?
My nose looks kinda exact like that, and so does my sister's, neither of us have ever had trouble breathing, I've seen lots of people with noses like mine that haven't had surgery. It's not even a small nose wtf

It's a normal nose with lots of blur tool.

Pick one.

Are you just taking offence because you think I'm insulting your nose? Just to clarify, I think it looks cute as fuck.

Idgaf if it's shop or surgery either, she hasn't done anything wrong and I get to look at pretty pictures so. Just wanted to express my doubt that she isn't shooping her features to some degree.

It's pointless to bring it up personal experience. Your normal =/= everyone else's normal.

>>9392332
You're right, this explains a lot of it. It's not normal in the before pic though, still tiny.

>>9392332
She's seriously cute, but I still think the eyelashes are too heavy. Especially for larme.

>>9390976
Yeah I thought that too. Poor design choice for sure.

>>9391976
Are there replicas in larme? I haven't seen any but I guess I don't look on taobao much

>>9392401
There was minor drama in the facebook group about it. I think it's alright for smaller things like hair clips. I haven't seen or looked for many either.

>>9392401
There are a lot on taobao, yeah. I've bought some. Some replicas are shit, some are literally from the same factory. People aren't as up on arms about it because there's not really a big print replica culture in Larme.

It probably was just the language barrier. I like how she edited the whole post to complain about how the group wasn't enough of a safe space, though.

Only a couple more days until Spring inspo. I'm so ready

>>9392437
A lot of girls in the fb comm are so fragile, it's not wonder drama starts at the drop of a pin.

>>9391976
Personally I don't care about replicas in larme. The designs are so similar across actual brands a lot of the time that you could call one a replica of the other. The design elements are fairly generic, and it's not like they have prints. So to me, it's not as if something original has been legitimately stolen or ripped off. There are exceptions to this obviously though.

If I buy a piece from the same factory for considerably cheaper I just consider that being a smart shopper.

>But anon, what about supporting the brand?
Well, they clearly don't want me as a customer or they wouldn't make it so difficult for me to give them my money. Me buying actual brands takes it out of the Japanese market and out of Japanese hands, and all of the restriction on the shopping sites seems to be to prevent this happening. They all hate shopping services, which I'd be keeping in business by "supporting" them. So, I'm gonna go path of least resistance where I can.

>>9392471
They hate shopping services? I've never had any trouble.

>>9392535
Yeah most state in their FAQs that shopping services aren't allowed and you'll be banned if you are one.

>>9392563
Do you mean fril & mercari?
I'm pretty sure that's what happened to me. Tried to buy something on fril through zenmarket, saw them comment on the item with the intention to buy, the seller didn't reply at all but sold it to a girl who posted a comment a day later. Still fuming cause it was such a good deal.

>>9392421
wanna share your experiences anon?

>>9392574
Ugh this is disappointing to hear. There's some stuff I want off Mercari too. I was going to use kairai to get it though, they're a small service so they look more like a normal person. I've used them before, but I haven't since the whole fril shutting down foreign cards and Mercari tightening their security against shopping services thing.

>>9392672
What do you want to know, specifically?

My general pointers are if a replica pops up within the first few months of a brand releasing an item, it's probably from the same factory and will likely be similar in quality to the real deal. If it's past that timeframe, especially if it's been over a year, it's a new made replica based on the real version and the quality can be hit or miss. Stores will usually purchase the real piece and try to match the fabric and details to it. Checking out the reviews and looking at review photos is a pretty good way to gauge the quality. Most stores sell things of similar quality, so if a few pieces look good then most of the pieces from that store should be alright.

I haven't gotten anything truly horrible, just things that weren't quite right. I'm not gonna complain that much for the price.

>>9392563
>>9392574
Yeah, do you mean Fril and Mercari? Bubbles, Honey Salon, Honey mi Honey, and the stores on Fashionwalker recommend using Tenso, and Honey Cinnamon and Bonbon don't seem to say anything.

Also it appears that Rose Marie Seoir accepts Paypal and allows shipping to outside Japan. Has anyone tried that?

And I'm so torn. That stuff is really pretty, but I love the dark accents in larme. Can't wait to get a look inside

>>9394056
Not that anon but thanks for the link! I'll add it to the op post next time. Been wanting to add it but I lost the link a while ago.

>>9394056
Thank you.
Do you anons have any general advice for putting together coord in larme? I know it sounds pretty sad but despite reading the magazine, having invested a fair bit of money in brand etc I just can't coordinate something that looks like a proper 'outfit' instead of a collection of clothes. I've put some effort into my hair but that doesn't seem to make a big difference either. Don't know what to do short of literally copying an outfit from a Larme spread. I know this must sound pretty sad, haha.

>>9394074
Thank you!

>>9394101
Maybe try picking a theme? Someone in the group once did a ballerina one for example. Or you could pick one brand piece and try to make a subtle outfit around that - like if it has a heart on it, go for accessories with hearts or something? I'd love to see what you have already. There's a channel in the discord for coord suggestions. Hope to see you in there

>>9392153
kek, her face isn't even consistent between older photos and new ones, please
nothing wrong with shooping your features, just don't lie about it. What's the point of pretending?
https://www.instagram.com/petitemacarondoll/

>>9394564
I think her face looks pretty consistent...?

>>9394564
>>9394654
I also think her face looks consistent. My only complaint about her IG is the low quality pics with a crap-ton of JPEG artifacts earlier in her account. If you're trying to represent a fashion blog, then learn to save in PNG and/or produce better photos at least. :I

I have seen this one girl complaining about prices or clothes of certain brands in several larme related conversations. Mostly complaining about how things are too expensive for being so casual etc and it is alright if she feels that way. When I checked her tumblr I saw her reblogging many pictures from the brands she disses so clearly she still likes their stylings at least? This makes me think she likes these brands and their clothes but because they are more expensive than she likes she wants to keep criticising them and saying how boring they are. She seems young so it is not weird if the items feel expensive to her but sometimes her way to word her critizism about the prices makes it look like she had no idea about fashion industry or what is the difference between fast fashion brands and some smaller j-fashion brands. Sometimes j-fashion brands can be overpriced but there are pricey, good quality brands around too.

>>9395120
There are a few avid complainers so I honestly can't even pinpoint which one you're talking about. Maybe girl just needs to learn how to shop secondhand.

>>9395120
It's usually the case with really young people, they don't have a lot of disposable income or have restrictions on what they're allowed to spend it on. It's much easier to hate on something you secretly want but can't have, than admit those complex feelings to yourself. Lots of people seem to take it personally as well, as if the brand is somehow discriminating against poor people. It's a really entitled attitude.

It's hard being a bitter poorfag, hopefully they'll get over it though.

Though, whilst we're on the topic, I do find myself surprised at the cost of fast fashion, I've always considered things like H&M to be low-middle tier in terms of high street shops but imo they price themselves way higher. And topshop is even worse, I wont buy from them first hand anymore.

>>9395210
I live in a Nordic Country and we have had H&M as long as I remember and it is popular but most people seem to consider it cheap, not good quality and not very ethical even if they buy from them. I have good and bad experiences from H&M quality myself but I consider their items rather cheap, not sure if they are cheaper here than in some other countries. In Spain Zara was slightly cheaper than where I live.

Primark`s prices are so unbelievably cheap compared to other fast fashion stores it makes me a bit worried. I found this statement about them and it is probably true: "For many shoppers, Primark has an irresistible offer: amazing trendy clothes at amazingly low prices. The result is a new and even faster kind of fast fashion, which forces consumers to buy heaps of items sometimes even the same ones to use when the first ones worn out, discard them after a few wears and then come back for another batch of new outfits." I have seen some great looking stuff from Primark but we don`t have it here and I have avoided it abroad because of the shit impression I have gotten. Many say the quality is awful but I have no personal experience of this.

>>9394852
Do you really think this looks consistent? Are you blind? Her jawline and nose shape visibly changes in each photo... And then there's that profile shot that looks just deformed.

>>9395975
Nayrt but I just don't think it's worth a damn arguing how much she shooops. Her overall features are recognizable and her clothes, makeup, styling, and editing aren't excessively other worldly. I enjoy her off photos, esp cuz they are usually off brand and edited. It's like an example of someone making sure with nothing. I do see how her facial structure is predisposed to larme but she just never takes advantage of it and always just does her own thing

>>9395984
**I enjoy her photos
**Making something with nothing

>>9395984
It's not really arguing how much she shoops, just pointing out how blatantly ridiculous it is for >>9392153 to claim she doesn't shoop at all. Her jaw is wobbly in multiple photos for christ's sake, and you don't go from having a square jaw to having a v-line. Her photos fit the aesthetic, but to try and lie about her shooping the shit out of her face is laughable.

>>9395975
Adorable

>>9395975
lol, the self posting/white knighting is hilarious
yeah, she's not an ugly girl by any means and her outfits are cute, but there's no point in lying about liquefying yourself when you can't even keep it consistent. learn to shoop yourself better girl.

>>9395998
By the same token her shop isn't as omg terrible as you critics are making it out to be. Or maybe I'm just used to Dakota levels of crazy shopping so this doesn't even phase me.

>>9396021
do you not see the wobbly jawline and egg shaped side view
i know you want to defend your friend or yourself, but cmon, it's pretty bad.
hardly anyone shoops to dakota level; stop trying to strawman your way out

>>9396038
I still don't think it's *terrible.* that's the point I'm making. And lots of girls shop themselves into oblivion not just Dakota. Like Anzu? Fetsu? Seriously. It was just one example.

>>9396044
I think you're giving her a lot of leeway because she's part of a popular blog or because you know her, desu. Her level of shoop- the botched jaw/chin/nose, blurred to the point of melting skin, liquefied eye placement-- those are all pretty extreme levels of shooping. At least Anzu shoops halfway decently.

>>9396049
>At least Anzu shoops halfway decently.

Now you're just fucking with me.

>>9396050
Nah, she actually looks like the same person in most photos; I had to actually check to make sure the new post by Eri wasn't some new girl added to the blog.
Sorry your friend sucks at shooping. There's no point in trying to act like she's better than other shoopers just because she put out a tutorial on how badly she blurs her skin, she's not.

>>9396052
All I said was that her face looked pretty consistent to me. I wasn't looking for an analysis of every curve of her jawline. Anzu literally looks like a completely different person in some photos so I'm sorry but I can't take you seriously anymore.

>>9396057
And I can't take you seriously either; Eri's skin is literally blurred to the point where it looks like it's melting off her face, and her features constantly change positions. You're trying so hard to downplay her bad shooping and acting like I'm zooming in on her face to find tiny details, but all her messed up shoops are visible from even the instagram thumbnails.
Before this thread, I only saw her "urban goth" pictures on her blog. I didn't even realize she was the same person until I saw the collage. Stop trying to act like I have some vendetta against her; I'm saying that she shoops to the point that she isn't recognizable from different photos because I didn't recognize her. Your white knighting is making you/her look bad.

>>9396062
I can recognize her between different photos. I guess that's why I can't see how terrible her shop is because she does look fairly consistent between photos to me. I don't understand why that's an issue to you. maybe we just completely disagree on this point.

I just get tired of anyone gaining semi popularity in this comm getting shit on for tiny petty shit. It's happening now to eri, it happens to Sara Mari all the fucking time, it's even happened to ruka who has that kawaii Asian privledge going on. If I wanted that shit I'd go back to Lolita. Not saying we can't discuss people or even bitch about them, but this shopping shit really isn't as big of a deal as you are making it out to be.

I miss when we just laughed at shitty coords.

Anyone got any good eBay/Aliexpress finds lately?

>>9396076
Does ebay or Ali have anything good other than accessories? I see good stuff on taobao all the time but a lot of aliexpress clothing finds I see posted are actually kind of bad.

>>9396067

It's hard to laugh at shitty coords when we're ~not allowed~ to post any

>>9396038
I honestly think her makeup and editing style look terrible. I disagree with the other anon that her shoop style is inconsistent though, her nose and jawline look pretty much the same in every picture. What I have a problem with is the filter and lighting she uses, they make all the colors blend together and her outfit details harder to see. And her makeup is too messy, especially her eye makeup, I know she's going for pic related but her execution looks terrible. I do like her outfits though, they're really cool and unique

Honestly, I dislike the whole ~kawaii vulnerable grunge girl whose too drunk to leave the party~ aesthetic that was popular last season. Half the time the models looks more like a rape victim or drugged out prostitute, which is kinda disturbing

>>9395210
The thing about fast fashion too is that while it doesn't cost much, you still end up spending a lot per wear because it doesn't last very long. Like I've spent $15 on a fast fashion top only to have the print fade out in like 3-5 washes; that's $3-$5 a wear, whereas I've payed a little under $40 for an Ank Rouge t-shirt that I've worn dozens of times and it's probably under $1 a wear.
But of course you can also just cheat that entirely and thrift high end items for cheap. I just recently thrifted a 100% cashmere sweater for ~$15 that'll probably last longer than that Ank Rouge top if I care for it properly.

>>9396393
I'm in complete agreement with you anon. My wardrobe is half Japanese brands and half thriftier high end pieces. I don't even bother with fast fashion before because I'm so tired of shit falling apart on me after one or two uses.

>>9396511
Ugh, **thrifted**

Am I the only one who is really bothered by the term "larme kei"?
I feel like when something is larme it is more like a je ne sais quoi-ish element in an outfit and not a specific style.

>>9396532
personally, giving the style and name and certain guidelines doesn't bother me
every fashion is like that

>>9395210
i feel like H&M prices went up and quality got even more shitty
i refuse to go there except for things i know i won't care if it gets destroyed (because spoiler: it will)
however they do have a very larme-y spring collection this year so i'm on the fence

>>9396532
I don't think calling it a kei is mutually exclusive with it being kind of nebulous

>>9395210
The cost of fast fashion has definitely been going up like >>9396635 said, while the quality has remained pretty stagnant. Even forever 21 prices have been going up for a lot of things. I pretty much rely on sales now for buying from fast fashion stores.

In my opinion, Asos's own line is probably the best for fast fashion. While it can sometimes be expensive (in which case I'd rather just go with brand), I usually just wait for coupons or pieces to go on sale. They also have a lot of things made with natural fibers like cotton, so I usually go for those.

>>9396393
I'm mixed on this. I have some pieces from fast fashion stores that have lasted forever, and then I have some that literally ripped at the seams after a couple of wears. I try to wash anything that looks delicate by hand, so that also helps. But I still throw a lot of my fast fashion crap in the washer and dryer and had it turn out ok. It's kind of a gamble as to whether the piece will last or not.

My brand stuff has held up pretty well and if you buy things secondhand then the price can sometimes be in the same range as fast fashion full priced (especially Ank rouge, which is one of the cheaper Japanese brands. I have so much Ank rouge and I think it's all good quality).

Also a thrifter here. Wish I could find more pieces that fit the Larme aesthetic by thrifting. Maybe the area I'm in just sucks for that.

>>9396635
I recently bought this dress (not my picture) from h&m and I'm pretty impressed by the quality. I was not expecting the fabric to be as heavy as it was. it looks like this girl needs to take an iron to hers, so I'm curious if she just didn't iron it at all or if it wrinkles like a bitch when worn. It's been too cold here to wear mine out yet so we'll see.

>>9395280
Ah, the quality of the items in primark is comparable with stuff you'd get from aliexpress imo, at least in the UK. It's not the worst, but some cuts are awful and unflattering. Some of the stuff, like the t-shirts they do are obviously made to fall apart, but the jeans are amazing value for money imo.

>>9396393
Honestly, I have stuff from shitty fast fashion stores that's 5-6 years old that I used for shit like house painting, mucking out horses and labwork that's still fine. I've also accidentally bought stuff second hand without realising until I took it home. But yeah, totally agree on thrifting/ebay for higher end stuff.

>>9396635
I was actually in there today and tried on that gingham dress with the off shoulder sleeve/strap combo, and the straps were comically long. With the dress pulled all the way down my boobs were just out. Wasn't a very flattering cut overall either. They do have some nice lace skirts in though.

>>9396657
Asos is pretty okay, but I wish they'd have better size consistency, especially with their shoes.

>>9396762
I definitely check labels at thrift stores to make sure I don't buy something from like, forever 21. I've bought stuff from express from thrift stores but that's about the lowest I'll go. Thrift stores are great but you definitely need to look out for things like that, or stains or holes.

Also was it this dress you tried on? Sorry to hear it looked crappy. Nice that you got a change to try it on though. My h&m doesn't carry stuff like this, so if I wanted it I would have to get it online. At least you can return things in store.

Also for Asos I guess it's kind of hard to keep the sizes consistent when they have so many different brands. I pretty much exclusively buy asos house brand stuff so I have a good gauge of what size to get. I've never tried their shoes so I can't comment there. That seems to be a probably with most sites that carry multiple shoe brands. Show sizing is definitely not consistent. Now that I've been buying Japanese brand shoes that come in an even smaller range of sizes, I've gotten used to shoes not quite fitting right. Kind of hard to get it right when shoes come in either 2 or 3 sizes and you're sized in between. Sad but true.

>>9396082
Care to share some taobao finds?

>>9396819
Not that anon but I tried this dress on today and I agree the cut was unflattering. Its more or less a tube so maybe it could look good on girls with 0 bust/hips I don't know. It was also very short on me and I'm only 5'2...

I try not to shop there anymore as most things have weird fit issues I find... and I noticed today too prices were higher than they used to be. I was only in the store because I was with someone else.

Man sorry. At least you know now for next time. And you might be able to cop some stuff on Mercari or fril.

As for the eatme stuff I am reaaaaally tempted. Love their designs so much. If I could afford to have my entire closet be eatme, I would.

>>9373154
so into those shoes

>>9373171
without good styling/ generally being a cool looking person they're pretty hard to pull off

>>9373678
I think if this was shortened to right where the top of the slit is, it would be much more wearable and versatile.

>>9390873
It's makeup?

>>9396393
Are you guys all really rough with your clothes or something? I've had my fast fashion clothes last me longer than had pieces fall apart, and I don't take special care when washing or anything. Maybe I just gravitate toward pieces that are made well and worn well.

But it is weird to see people act morally superior because they don't buy ~fast fashion while asking for taobao and aliexpress links. What do you think those are?

>>9400421
>But it is weird to see people act morally superior because they don't buy ~fast fashion while asking for taobao and aliexpress links. What do you think those are?

God, same. I'd kill for some really fluffy shoes. Western stores never really go all out.

>>9396762
>the jeans are amazing value for money imo.
See, I have Primark stuff I don't mind but I bought a pair of jeans there recently after having thrifted real denim and Topshop/Next/RI jeans my whole life and I was really shocked. They seemed okay in the fitting room but after a wash and a wear I realised that the material was ridiculously thin and I felt quite cold. Everything in there when I was there (apart from one or two pairs of mom jeans) was like a thin cotton jegging instead of an actual elastic blend denim even if it was marked as jeans.

>>9400421
No? I mean I have had some last a long time too, but it's hit and miss so I don't find it worth it. No one is talking about morals at all, just prices of clothes. Also I'm not the one asking for Taobao and Aliexpress links, either.

What's the proportion of gay/etc. girls in larme? Somehow it feels lower.

>>9401601
Probably is, speaking as a lesbian who occasionally follows larme but doesn't personally wear it. I feel kind of repulsed when I wear things like larme that attract male attention by projecting both sexiness and vulnerability at the same time.

>>9401676
>both sexiness and vulnerability
This. It's an adorable look on girls. If it helps any, it attracts at least some female attention too.

>>9401601
I feel it should be higher actually (maybe not as high as Lolita though). Even though as anon said there is some emphasis on looking vulnerable and sexy, some other facets of larme are elegant or fairy-like (?? I mean the floaty chiffon look, no gay joke intended). I also feel like girl power and idolising girliness are themes which might appeal to lesbians/etc.

And also, I'm a bi larme girl with a boyfriend which kind of makes my identity invisible to anyone just browsing my social media without knowing me closely.

>>9402433
>idolising girliness
New thread name omg.

And that makes sense. A lot of girls in the group seem to have boyfriends, but it's nice to know that at least one or two aren't straight.

>>9401601

Also bi but dating a male.

Wish I could have a cute larme gf though, as much as my bf likes the fashion on me he doesn't really get it and I can't much more than a one sided conversation about it. There isn't really a boy equivalent to larme that I can think of either, and I'm not sure I'd want him to wear it if there was.

>>9403008
Time to break up

>>9403063
o-only if you'll be my larme gf anon!

>>9403008
My boyfriend isn't stylish/fashionable at all but he likes to point at things and ask if they are larme when we're shopping together which is cute. I think he likes the aesthetic of the magazine and is happy I've found a J-fashion I'm comfortable in.

It took a while for him to wrap his head around it though. And even if there was a boy equivalent of larme he wouldn't wear it (sadly)

>>9402535
Yeah I think a few of us might be, it would be interesting to do a poll or something.

My boyfriend wears quite basic clothes, I like his style and he has good taste but it is not any specific style and definitely not j-fashion inspired but I am ok with that. I have no idea how larme boy version would be...

I think it is cute that friends and couples can have very different styles! Although I didn`t mind having a few larme (girl)friends haha. But I consider myself still lucky because my boyfriend is into Japanese culture as well and he patiently listens to my shit about Larme. He also knows who Risa is and knows several larme brands because he visited them with me when we were in Japan.

>>9403008

Can I just ask...

Is Ruka a boy or a girl? I always see them parading on Facebook or Tumblr. Along with Eri and her shitty blurred pictures.

>>9404960
Ruka goes by they/them. Their gender isn't really relevant to this thread. Sage for OT

>>9404966
You feeling homesick anon? Tumblr's right around the corner.

>>9404966
It kind of is considering this is specifically a sweet *Girly* fashion. you know, for girls. People who are comfortable with identifying as female and feminine.

why the fuck even bother with they/them if you're going to pick the most feminine fashion out there to wear. Just screams attentionwhore drama llama. Always sense a hint of girl hate from people like this as well - seems like they think women are inherently lesser so wont deign to be grouped in with them.

>>9405075
Not the anon you're replying to but it's just a pronoun. No need to get so salty. Sometimes I don't know what's worse, SJWs or their criticis.

>>9404968
>>9405075
This has fuck all to do with larme. Maybe you don't agree with the politics but here isn't the place to discuss it. Besides, larme isn't about being A Girl, it's about being girly.

>>9404026
>ywn rest your head on Risa's shoulder
kill me. Also, I once saw an independent larme-esque shoot that looked more like the girls' wedding photos

>>9405097
Sorry anon read that back and it comes across as way harsher than I intended.

I'm not salty I just don't get it, and I don't get why it's tolerated and pandered to or somehow such a taboo topic? Usually people are transitioning to what they present as, so of course people are gonna be confused by Ruka.

If she uses they/them but presents female, the logical conclusion is that she was born male. It's innocent confusion from people trying to understand the system she's is ignoring the conventions of.

>>9405125
Original anon. It's been brought up in these threads before and I think one anon said it was dysphoria from weight loss or something. Basically personal stuff which I wouldn't feel comfortable talking about, but if it'll curb the conversation now, then fine. I like that these threads are generally drama free my original sage was just to try and keep the peace. Sorry if it was abrupt.

>>9405125
Personally, I'm very skeptical when people say that gender is a spectrum. At the same time, you don't want to be the asshole to call them the wrong pronouns just for the sake of rocking the boat. One of the best decisions I've made for myself is not getting too close to people whose entire identities revolve around whatever super special unique gender they are at any given time. I'm glad you're happy, but I don't like to feel like I'm constantly walking on eggshells.

Does anyone have any scans or photos of darker spreads from 27? I heard there was an all-black outfit. I struggle with pastels so I'd love to see it

>>9405125
Who's to say they weren't born a guy... They are very cute either way, which is what matters.

>>9405125
iirc they did used to dress in a much more androgynous way that was more, idk, typical? of a non-binary person, but then they found Larme and I guess they liked it enough that it was worth the confusion.

In fairness though, I don't think they're the type to get upset at someone for misgendering them.

I am aware that most larme models are very tiny but this picture made me see that at least maihee is even smaller than I realized!

>>9406679
Holy shit, that is ana territory even for a Japanese build

>>9406688

Did they pin the skirt tighter from the back? I just saw the weird triangle thing sticking out on the back. That would explain how the same clothes that are modelled by girls who are 10-18kg smaller than me can still fit me nicely.

I was the one who posted the picture and I find Maihee lovely and cute and desu I want to believe she is naturally this thin. She is very small framed at least.

>>9406707

I believe she is naturally that thin. Shes always going out places to eat with friends and boyfriend. I follow her! I just think shes tiny. Most the models are? Plus being short and asian... no surprise there.

>>9396229
>Honestly, I dislike the whole ~kawaii vulnerable grunge girl whose too drunk to leave the party~ aesthetic that was popular last season. Half the time the models looks more like a rape victim or drugged out prostitute, which is kinda disturbing
Thissss

>>9406688
not really. why does it always veer into comments like this.

>>9406831
op is obviously American

>>9406831
I actually didn't think the original pic looked like ana territory, but this one does. Not terrifyingly skeletal, but definitely underweight, 17 BMI maybe.

>>9406831

Well yeah?

I have a friend who is tiny, shes about 4'9/5 foot and shes so petite. Shes a UK size 4/6 and is about Maihees size? Shes healthy and eats a lot. Just how she naturally is! Even a tall girl I know.

>>9406835
I am european and I posted the first pic but yes I think Maihee can be totally healthy and naturally thin I was just surprised how thin she really is. I mean I used to be very thin naturally, 47kg/165cm before I turned 20 but I am not as small framed so I never looked that tiny although people considered me small here. I wouldn't be surprised if maihee was about 38-43kg as Risa is about 43kg/160cm.

>>9406917
>I mean I used to be very thin naturally
Stop, you're me. I'm not overweight, but I'm not the stick I used to be. The perils of Larme being for twenty-somethings

>>9404966

I really dont like Ruka.

Ruka, Cheiko and Eri think they own Larme fashion and theyre annoying.

>>9407003
Okay?

I don't really get that vibe from Ruka personally. Maybe a little from some people in the community, but it's nowhere near as bad as the gatekeeping in other J-fashions where one individual seems to be judge and jury on what is or isn't fitting.

Maybe I got too salty there, but yeah, Larme seems so chill by comparison

>>9407003
I think they're all very welcoming and good at helping newcomers/giving concrit. Why do you feel the need to post about them in thread? Please talk about the fashion itself instead of whining over people wearing it. 3 people wearing the fashion, shouldn't stop you from enjoying it, gully

>>9407003
Cheiko's the only one I've seen who really has a stick up her ass. Not sure what problems people have with the other two, or even saramari.

>>9407003
I didn't agree with this re: Ruka until I saw thatshe just wrote a fitness guide on her larme blog (and posted a link to the entry on the fbook group), complete with selfie of her in a vaguely larme related swim suit that coincidentally shows off her abs.
Less than a year ago she was posting on tumblr asking for advice on how to start lifting weights and I anonymously sent her some reallly basic info and she thanked me for it. So i don't get why she thinks she should be an authority on fitness, or why it relates to larme. I know she's thin and active, but if just a few months ago she had no idea about weight lifting it's insane to me that now she thinks she can give an entire community advice about it. Esp because most of the info in her guide is basic stuff you can get on like livestrong or the bodybuilding forums...
I just hate that people are talking about weight loss in a larme group, or even in this larme thread. There are enough off brand options that you don't need to diet specifically to dress larme, and if you want to diet for other reasons then just go look up basic diet resources instead of asking girls who wear pom poms on theirs ears for advicce....

>>9407338
I thought she only posted about it because it came up in the fb group beforehand and she's been asked about it before. And sure people can find that info anywhere, but people want validation that they too can look like a kawaii Larme model. Sure there are plenty of offbrand options but let's be real, everyone would secretly love to wear brand. Weight and affordability are barriers to that tho.

Still not seeing the "ooo she's a total bitch thing" about all this.

>>9407357
I don't think she's a bitch at all but I do think that the larme attention might be getting to her head.
Just saying that if I was a mod of fashion group and something off topic like that came up in my group I'd direct them to outside sources rather than use it as an excuse to whore out my own blog and show off my body.

Also seagulls make fun of girls constantly who complang "larme is so expensive!!!!" so why are you guys sympathetic to people saying "larme is too small for me???" I just don't think it's truly related to the topic beyond a cursory relationship, and it's just an excuse for people to talk about their own body insecurities and seek validation.

>>9407363
She's not a mod tho.

And if you're the op of >>9407338 then you're the one who brought up offbrand options which are generally for people who are too big for Larme. Not sure how me saying girls want to be skinny and fit into Larme brands is me being over sympathetic but ok.

>>9407374
Sorry, I guess you're right, I was thinking of petite dollies, not the fbook group.
I definitely agree and understand that girls want to be skinny and fit into brand but beyond saying something like "wow I want to lose weight to fit into this skirt!" i don't think it should really be tolerated as a discussion in the group. Wanting to be skinny/wanting to have more money aren't really about the larme clothes themselves or the larme vibe, it is just related tangentially. I feel the same way when people post weight loss threads in ruffle chat or on cgl.
I only brought up offbrand because I wanted to preemptively stop anyone who might say "well weight loss is related cuz u need to be skinny to wear larme!"
The only argument I can think of for allowing weight loss as a discussion in the group is the self care sections in the mag itself...but I'd rather just have people translate the mag than give their own copy pasted fitness guides.
I'll stop talking about this now. I just wish I could enjoy fashion without having to have weight loss shit shoved in my face at the same time.

>>9407338
To be fair, most people want to be slimmer so if she gets a lot of questions it makes sense to post it. None of it seems to mention weight lifting.
I may be biased though, since all I want is to fit into Ank Rouge cutsews.

>>9407407
Sounds like your own personal insecurities, anon. Weight and fashion have always gone hand in hand. And in a fashion where the most coveted clothes are made for skinny girls, weight and weight loss is gonna be mentioned.

No, you don't need to be skinny to wear Larme. But you need to be skinny, have the right proportions/be short enough to wear Japanese brand and Japanese brands are the cornerstone of Larme considering the magazine is basically a huge advertisement for them. If you want to avoid all that then this might not be the fashion for you.

>>9407363
>larme attention might be getting to her head
god forbid that someone be an active and productive memeber of the community and feel good about themselves

I thought that she just got inspired to write the article because of the demand/questions about fitness.Maybe there's an element of efame-hungriness to her blogging but it seems like you and anon who can't wrap their head around gender identities just have a vendetta and are trying to tear her down here to make yourselves feel better.

>>9407491
>>9407434
I'm all about larme blogging content and I'm all about weight loss and fitness advice. just don't think they go together...and specifically rukas blog entry was barely actually tied in to larme, again if she had referenced stuff from the mag or even showed pix of larme models with six packs. Or if she wanted to answer an un-larme faq then she could make a post on her own Tumblr rather than her larme specific blog. And desu I might even be okay with all this if she didn't used to post on her Tumblr about her eating disorder. so if nothing else I'm just super worried that her sharing all her fitness stuff is just body checking...
I don't have a vendetta, I like her a lot. That post just rubbed me the wrong way and made me think she is going in the wrong direction with her internet presence and might be suffering with self image problems at the same time.

>>9407434
To reiterate: idc if it's mentioned. Just don't see why generic weight loss advice needs to be given to a larme group setting. Refer the fatties and unfit people to bodybuilding.com and get back to talking about the clothes...

>>9407332

People dont like Saramari because she buys nothing but brand and has moneu but shes about 28/30 anyway so she works full time.

Ruka gets a pass for being a skinny asian really.

Cheiko is just awful. I dont like her or Candice either. They are up their own asses because theyre french women who got a few gigs in Japan. So what? So did Katie who is terrible at Larme fashion. She has modelled a few monstrosities for brands and she constantly looks like an evil rabbit.

>>9407434

Height doesnt matter as much its weight. That goes for most Japanese brands. Everything is made for skinny short girls and thats a fact.

>>9407513
>>9407518

It still sounds like you're projecting your own insecurities onto Ruka. People were asking about weight loss, so Ruka made a blog entry about it. End of. And again with Japanese brand clothes coming in such a limited range of sizes, weight is going to be brought up in the group setting.

I'm also not sure where this whole idea came from that a blog is supposed to be like this "official" thing. I'm not directing this only at you, but it's been brought up a few times on this thread from people criticizing how they run their blog (thinking back to the anon who wondered how eri was "allowed" to join petite dollies...)

Like it's a blog not an official publication, chill out guys. It doesn't have to be all Larme all the time and it doesn't need to be magazine quality.

>>9407736
I just wanted to point out that weight isn't always the only factor. Depending on how tall you are, it is something you have to take into account with certain items.

There is so much salt in this thread lordt. Chieko, Ruka, Sari Mari and Katie are all cute and well put together, people are being triggered by Ruka's fit body? Sounds like projection.

>>9407762
>(thinking back to the anon who wondered how eri was "allowed" to join petite dollies...)

That was me and I mixed her up for the actual new girl, whilst thinking she was already in the group. Basically I didn't recognise her and thought they'd purposefully chosen someone who looked really similar.

>>9407338
>complete with selfie of her in a vaguely larme related swim suit that coincidentally shows off her abs.
Are you really salty that someone would include a picture of their abs in blog post that is mostly about how to get abs?

>>9407797

They look like shit. Katie doesnt even do Larme properly its a mess of lolita and swankiss

looks normal as far as the asian ideals go. i think it's hard for people in western countries to see thin asian models without flipping out and yelling ANA-CHAN. not even because we're typically fat but also because the hourglass shape is en vogue (meaning actual curves). i'm not sure how tall maihee is since i can't find it with a simple google search but yeah, probably a bit underweight but not terribly skelly.

but maybe i'm biased bc i'm underweight myself.

Nah meng, zara is pretty fucking terrible. They take it much further.

>>9404966
Let me rephrase it then, does Ruka have a dick?

>inb4 its not relevant RREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
>I wanna know if they/them has a dick. I want to know their biological gender, they can identify as whatever the fuck they want. Dont worry, if they wont be triggered, they arent children, they have looked in a mirror before, they arent out of touch with reality, they have seen their neathers and touch them to shower, do they/them have a dick and balls or a vag and tiddies?

>>9411134
They're pretty much the pioneers of evil retailers

Ask them yourself if you're so curious
