Ewww yes. A paedo's wet dream

that is v creepy indeed

See what you mean. She could be any age between 10 and 25.

children of the corn comes to mind

yes, creepy, unless she is 6yo

how old is she, exactly ?

dressing up like a little girl isn't big and it isn't clever

I dont like the dress either though- it seems to infantilise her body, and is very self-consciously cutesy. I can't see that it would look much better even with different accessories.

I think the actress is at least twenty.

Japanese teen fashion seems to play on the idea of the sexy schoolgirl. I find it all a bit ewwwww, as much as I find the idea of a school uniform as a sexy object a bit weird too!

she needs to get a grip

In fact, the girl on the <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=bp1.blogger.com/_NO2UOMMYKZ0/SHsgux1FKpI/AAAAAAAAAc0/KtDfrOf81mU/s400/Harajuku%2BFashion%2BStyle.jpg&imgrefurl=www.scene-styles.info/tag/japanese-fashion&usg=__4-7-XcbgvHJpwEVKU2Aq66L5ZYU=&h=292&w=400&sz=37&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=IF5SQkox3grnJM:&tbnh=161&tbnw=180&ei=GQ_QTYiOGIfQsgaNlc2-Cw&prev=/search%3Fq%3Djapanese%2Bteen%2Bfashion%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Den%26biw%3D1279%26bih%3D624%26tbm%3Disch0%2C87&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=977&vpy=163&dur=776&hovh=192&hovw=263&tx=158&ty=72&page=1&ndsp=22&ved=1t:429,r:14,s:0&biw=1279&bih=624" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">right of this picture actually appears to be dressed like a baby from 1954.

Yes, I think that's the sort of look she is going for, judging by <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=cache2.asset-cache.net/xc/104257163.jpg%3Fv%3D1%26c%3DIWSAsset%26k%3D2%26d%3D77BFBA49EF87892102A727B1636DE2E62537902FB43FFE4CD17327131C0955C7894351810303AFE1F06BF04B24B4128C&imgrefurl=www.life.com/image/104257163&usg=__T2FfTHGupMEFTgMHujMibUgfi3s=&h=594&w=396&sz=31&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=xGwqWU-ufJzcBM:&tbnh=178&tbnw=114&ei=EQ_QTfCnIYjVsgbQmfixCw&prev=/search%3Fq%3Djessica%2Bforrest%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26sa%3DG%26biw%3D980%26bih%3D1208%26tbm%3Disch&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=326&vpy=689&dur=4175&hovh=275&hovw=183&tx=104&ty=274&page=1&ndsp=27&ved=1t:429,r:19,s:0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this picture, which is a bit less scary because of the make-up. But she is veering dangerously into Courtney Love territory...

Oh Golly, that is seven shades of wrong

Ferne Cotton wears dresses like that....right down to the collar

here is her design for Very

And it says that it should be worn with socks and high heels.

It's a take on the Japanese style I agree....but yes....a bit weird.

If she wasn't wearing the socks it wouldn't be so bad, but it is a bit 'Lolita'.

oh dear. The socks are like the ones that women in their 30s wear in pornos when they are pretending to be 'just 18'.

Who would choose to wear frilly ankle socks?

And with peep-toe shoes?

Yuck!

The white lace top is nice (BoF's 18.39.01 post)
