2023.10.19 15:32

Saturday, October 7th, 2023 at WITH HARAJUKU HALL Gothic and Lolita We have held a market!

This event is an exhibition and outfit snap event for Lolita brands of all genres. This is one of Japan's largest events, held twice a year, in spring and autumn!

・Waiting for admission

This time, we only have advance tickets for the first part, and advance tickets for the second part and third part are both available for same-day tickets.

Advance tickets for Part 1 and Part 2 are sold out!

The total number of visitors was 1,136!



Even before the doors open, many customers lined up in great detail, and the glamorous sights already make you feel excited.

We are filled with amazement and gratitude to many customers from far away.

Last time, it rained, but the weather was nice all day that day, and I had the impression that many customers were taking commemorative photos in front of the venue.

 

 

And we also held the cloakroom, which was well received last time.

Before you know it, you'll find yourself having more luggage in both hands...!

We hope you enjoy the event comfortably as much as possible.

 

・Sales booth

The selling area is the main area for this event!

The appeal of this is that you can talk directly with the owners and artists of each brand.



Thankfully, the number of exhibitors increases with each event being held, and this time we have a winning ratio of about 2.5 times...!

It's a shame there's no bigger venue in Harajuku, but there are many unique brands lined up in the space.

 

This time too,Gothic and Lolita There were many brands exhibiting at the market for the first time, so I'm sure everyone had many new encounters.

Gothic, nostalgic, classical, sweet lolita, prince...etc

Item types include accessories, clothes, tableware, watches, miscellaneous goods, etc.

Many people stop walking every booth because they're all so wonderful things, and run out of time...!

I haven't seen it much yet! Those who said that, they also entered the next section again, and the venue was always bustling from Parts 1 to 3.



Below we will introduce some of the brands exhibited at the sale booth.

The calm colors make it easy to match with outfits, and the cutest pairing of sweets, lace and ribbons are the headbands that sell out on the day.

It is mainly made with clothing and head dresses.

・Consignment sales booth

 

▲Consignment sales booth



The commissioned booth operated by GLM since last time, GLM sells works on behalf of artists who live far away or are busy.

Many brands are rarely available to pick up and watch, so everyone is very interested!

 

▲Consignment clothes corner

 

You can look at the products more slowly than at the sale booth, so everyone was really worried as they went back and forth, trying on and comparing them to other products they were worried about.

I was filled with joy at the passion that kept us feeling like everyone was still at ease even after the event was over.
