Lolita Fashion
(Lolita fashion ロリータ・ファッション, rorīta fashion) is a subculture from Japan that is highly influenced by Victorian clothing and styles from the Rococo period. A very distinctive property of Lolita fashion is the aesthetic of cuteness. This clothing subculture can be categorized into three main substyles: ‘gothic‘, ‘classic’, and ‘’sweet‘. Many other substyles such as ‘sailor’, ‘country’, ‘hime’ “himi” Japanese word Princess (princess), ‘guro’ (grotesque), ‘qi’ and ‘wa’ (based on traditional Chinese and Japanese dress), ‘punk’, ‘shiro’ (white), ‘kuro’ (black), and ‘steampunk‘ lolita also exist. This style evolved into a widely followed subculture in Japan and other countries in the 1990s and 2000s and may have waned in Japan as of the 2010s as the fashion became more mainstream.
The main feature of Lolita fashion is the volume of the skirt, created by wearing a petticoat or crinoline. The skirt can be either,bell-shaped,or,A-line shape,.

Steampunk features anachronistic technologies or retro futuristic inventions as people in the 19th century might have envisioned them — distinguishing it from Neo-Victorianism — and is likewise rooted in the era’s perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, and art. Such technologies may include fictional machines like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne. Other examples of steampunk contain alternative-history-style presentations of such technology as steam cannons, lighter-than-airairships, analog computers, or such digital mechanical computers as Charles Babbage‘s Analytical Engine
