Abstract
This paper examines the subcultural practices of young Singaporean women who dress up in highly stylised Victorian-inspired outfits as followers of Lolita fashion from Japan. Why do these women invest time, effort, and money in performing this highly mediated form of Victorian-ness, and how does Singapore’s doubly colonial past as a former British and Japanese colony shape the fashion practices of these women?
