"Lolita Fashion" is a figurehead of kawaii fashion and the attention it has been gaining is not only limited to Japan, it is a trend that has been making waves throughout the globe. Lolita Fashion first originated in Japan and it has now been decades since it first started to spread overseas. Lolita culture has adapted to suit different cultures and climates across the world and continues to evolve in many different ways. In this series, the charismatic Lolita fashion icon, Misako Aoki introduces us to the various Lolita-inspired events and ocha-kai (tea parties) that are being held in different locations all over the world.

#73 Sakura × Han-style lolita fashion
Sakura - Japanese cherry blossoms - are in full bloom early April, even though there are still big temperature differences every day around that time in spring.

#68 Let's enjoy a spot of winter-themed afternoon tea!
Halloween is over and it's getting colder, which means Christmas is around the corner! Christmas is one of the most exciting times of the year! I'd like to have a tea party, but I think it's still not a good time to hold an event with large groups of people. We've got to be patient! It seems like the pandemic is getting a little better, so I've recently started afternoon tea-hopping again. Lolita fashion is my passion but tea-hopping is also one of my hobbies!

#66 A season for decluttering and danshari
The weather has become cooler as autumn approaches! It's a good news because summer is a big enemy of Lolita fashion. This is a season when you need to start changing outfits so I've been spending my off days doing "danshari" (decluttering) while tidying up my room! If I don't do so there'll be no more space for my clothes!!

#65 How to survive the summer with Lolita fashion
How are you spending your summertime? I've been enjoying my summer while taking precautions against Covid-19 ― watched the Tokyo 2020 Olympics on TV, went to somewhere nearby Mount Fuji to breathe in some fresh air while presenting "Lolita x forest", and had afternoon tea with my mom.

Easy Lolita hairstyles that won't be ruined by the rain!
It rains very often in early summer days. For someone like me who enjoys Lolita fashion, it's a really hard time because wearing panniers, one piece dresses or blouses full of laces makes me sweat a lot. But I still wanna look gorgeous!

#63 Misako's birthday
June is my birthday month! I turned 38 on 3rd June and have been asked "Until how old do you want to wear Lolita outfits?" in many interviews. I don't want to give up my favourite style because of my age, and I will keep on loving Lolita and say "I love pink clothes!" "I love twintails hairstyle!"
