Gyaru (ギャル, Gyaru) is a Japanese transliteration of the English word gal. The name originated from a 1970s brand of jeans called "gals", with the advertising slogan: "I can't live without men", and was applied to fashion- and peer-conscious girls in their teens and early twenties. Its usage peaked in the 1980s and has gradually declined.

Lolita (ロリータ・ファッション, roriita fasshon) is a fashion subculture in Japan that is primarily influenced by Victorian children’s clothing as well as costumes from the Rococo period. Lolita has made this into a unique fashion by adding gothic and original design elements to the look. From this, Lolita fashion has evolved into several different sub styles and has created a devoted subculture in Japan.

Gothic Lolita
Gothic Lolita (known in Japan as Gothloli) is a mixture of the Gothic and Lolita fashion.
The origins of the Japanese Gothic style can be traced back to the English New Wave
Movement during the 1980s: however, the Japanese Gothic scene is fundamentally different than
the Gothic subcultures of the west. This Gothic fashion has been adopted into the Lolita fashion
through the use of darker make up, clothing, and themes in the design.
