Review: GIRLISM 少女主義 vol.12

GIRLISM is a Chinese publication that revolves around the Lolita Fashion World. Much like Gothic and Lolita Bible, Girlism has a series of interviews, street-snaps, tutorials and, of course, freebies, for everyone who loves this fashion.

Issue 12 came out this last November and featured LiYi Tong, a famous singer from the SNH48 Chinese group, on its cover. The news of her graduation from the group was celebrated with a full photoshoot of her in Lolita!
