Hello again ahahah omg I'm posting so much XD I don't know why after 4 years of no blogging at all now I feel so inspired ahahahah
I have some planned posts and this is one I wanted to do so much: a GILFY inspo post!
What is GILFY?
If still there is somebody who doesn't know it XD GILFY or Maison Gilfy is a japanese gyaru brand which was productive between 2003-2015; its style was very rock-ish and grunge so it was really popular in 2008-2009 and then in 2013, when rokku gyaru was the trend
Big staple items in its fashion were pompom hats, motor/Jack Daniels-style print t-shirts and black bombers
Patterns were preferably plaid, starts, dots, checkered print, stripes, animal prints, union jack and american flags, sometimes you could also see crosses or skulls (but more as patches or accessories)
What I like the most is that it looks so fierce and "hardcore" but still so casual
One of my favourite references for Gilfy is Chie Yoshikawa (or Guri from Guri&Gura Ageha twin models)
I love how she combines Gilfy clothes with particular tights and comfy flat shoes, all in rock fashion
Some more inspo from GILFY models, here you can see also the use of rock accessories like studs, crosses and chains, not lots of accessories, just a couple of right, outstanding acce, like a particular tie or a big special pendant (obviously rockstyle):
I tried to make two GILFY outfits, I like the first more but I still need improvement for both lol
Hat, top, necklace: GILFY - Jacket: Terranova
Skirt: GOLDS Infinity
Boots: Gothic Vintage Shop
Vest: One Way - Acce: 1$ store
And that's all! What do you think? Do you like this brand?
Now I'll go cook my lunch XD see you next post and have a great day!
I love Chie SO much! I feel like she looks great in absolutely anything, whether that's himekaji or in rokku! Her fashion coords are the best I swear. I really liked Gilfy but back then I didn't really know how to buy stuff... Nowadays, I'm not really into rokku, but they always have the coolest outfits! I love love love your co*de!
