Rejoice, LIZ LISA fans! There is finally an official LIZ LISA online store that ships worldwide, Tokyo Kawaii Life! It is a great time to be into J-fashion, with so many brands available online now. LIZ LISA is the epitome of himekaji, which is my favorite style. I’ve been a fan of LIZ LISA since the late 00’s, but I never dreamed I could own any of their clothes back then! How times have changed!
For those that live in California, MARUQ in San Francisco and Fickle Wish in Los Angeles carry some LIZ LISA in their stores. (Update: Unfortunately, both of these stores have closed. They will be missed.) In the past, I had trouble finding himekaji pieces that looked good on me. I’m taller than the average Japanese and have a long torso and big hips. Lolita fashion works on me, but most himekaji is kind of questionable. Often the waist is too high and the skirts are much too short. Recently though, I heard that LIZ LISA is starting to make a “Tall Size”! It’s just enough bigger for me to comfortably fit into! I actually just bought my first LIZ LISA dress a few months ago from Fickle Wish, and I’m super excited. I’m looking forward to incorporating more himekaji styling into my wardrobe!
