|| KUZUHA ||

Music has always had an influence on alternative subcultures, and lolita is no different. I wanted to talk about the grindcore guitarist Kuzuha from the band Self Deconstruction (amongst various other side projects), both because she is an influential part of Japanese underground & extreme music and because of her choice to wear lolita fashion while doing so !!

But rather than post some long, Brooklyn Vegan style synopsis with bad opinions I'll just post some links to interviews for you to read at your leisure, as well as some photos and videos. Let the music & musician speak for themselves!

I thought it might be fun to talk about this cool little Hys book that I was so happy to have stumbled upon while searching for unrelated things (& I snapped it up in an instant). The book itself is from 1990 (!!) & still in excellent condition; it goes over the history of the brand from Fall / Winter 1984 to Spring / Summer 1990 and covers things like their various mascots, prints, collaborations, and themes, it also features their current Fall / Winter 1990 collection. I'd like to post a few of my favorites from these & you guys can let me know if you'd like me to cover it more in-depth later, as well as post some of the pieces from my own collection.
I hope you enjoy !!

( Fall / Winter 1990 )

everyone needs a pair of FUCK OFF! pajamas honestly ( Fall / Winter 1990 )

This little spread is one of my favorites in the whole book and is a huge inspo to me. There's just something so cool about it and it really gives off a Clueless vibe too, I think. On the following pages are some cute dresses with British flag motifs and mod themes.

Page covering all of their wild ass mascots, including a better look at the FUCK OFF bear from the pajama set.

Another one of my favorites from the book, a photo from a private collection featuring two Yakuza men in Hysteric Glamour.

Who IS Steven, anyway? Definitely one of the more strange illustrations in the book.

Now I'm gonna go ahead & share with you guys some of my own old Hys collection, though they are from a few years after this book was released it isn't by much.

Tomato bird camisole and what I can only describe as USA as Fuck camisole. Tomato bird is my favorite and was recently featured in a Hysteric Glamour nostalgia collection.

Knit bag and graffiti bucket hat!

old ass sticker!!
