Elegant Gothic Aristocrat EGA is a subset of Gothic Lolita fashion, popular in Japan. The term Elegant Gothic Aristocrat was originally coined by Mana musician Mana , a fashion designer and former band leader of Malice Mizer , and is used to describe his brand of clothing carried in his store Moi m me Moiti . EGA gained momentum on the Japanese fashion streets in the late 1990 s when their onstage rock idol attire spread like wild fire among his fans. Eventually, the style became more accessible when mainstream stores began to carry EGA apparel. Style The style imitates the mature decadence of the late Victorian era , with emphasis on simplicity and elegance. It is an androgynous style consisting of black and white, dark colours and natural tones with delicate detailing such as ruffles or lace trimmings, and completed with black, clunky boots and heavy makeup. Accessories are also essential items in achieving the EGA look. They include corsets, gloves, waistcoats, conspicuous pocket books, stockings, bows and top hats. Unlike the Lolita fashions, Elegant Gothic Aristocrat fashion Aristocrats wear long skirts or wide legged trousers, tailored and streamlined jackets, and tight fitting, long sleeved shirts and blouses.
