Maki and Asuka of Angelic Pretty |
Clothing designers Maki and Asuka of Angelic Pretty
Angelic Pretty Chief Designers Maki and Asuka began working for the brand in 2001 and 2003, respectively. Equally cute and talented, Asuka initially came to the company as their designer for knits ('cutsews'), bags, and accessories; Maki was originally hired as an illustrator while she attended vocational school. Both designers' duties and responsibilities have greatly increased since then and they've become two of the world's most respected authorities of the lolita fashion industry. Their work is frequently seen at Lolita brand-related events and industry shows, as well as in various publications throughout Japan and abroad.
Under Maki and Asuka, Angelic Pretty has become an icon, defining what Sweet Lolita Fashion is by pushing the boundaries of typical 'traditional' Lolita with new color combinations, unique accessories, unconventional dress designs, and intricate custom-designed fabrics. They strive to bring lolitas all over the world something different and new, yet still characteristic of the adorably cute fashion Angelic Pretty is known for.
