Sugar Coated
Lolita, a fashion movement imported from the streets of Harajuku, Tokyo, has a thriving group of followers in Los Angeles. We follow four Lolitas and investigate their motivations for taking on the extreme style; from self expression, to the questioning of identity and body image.
Roles: DP, Editor, Writer, PR and Photographer
"There's a new documentary about Lolita, the fashion subculture that started out in Japan, but found a home in Los Angeles, and it's great [...] It's that look beyond the fashion that makes Sugar Coated so interesting."
— LA Weekly
"72U made a brilliant documentary called Sugar Coated [...] This video is so well done and so thorough and so brilliant in doing that: it’s an absolute must watch, one of those videos that you will not be able to stop watching [...] it will draw you in and keep you watching it the entire time. You’ve been warned."
