2019 Moi-même-Moitié Kawaii Kon Fashion Show in Hawaii

Even though I am in the middle of posting photos from my last trip to Tokyo, I have decided to go ahead and write up a few things that happened in...Hawaii. Because I did go for a few days to Kawaii-Kon in Honolulu. Since I had wanted to go back and because Moi-même-Moitié and Mana were special guests of the convention, it didn't take long for me to decide I wanted to go. So here is the Moi-même-Moitié Fashion Show held on Saturday, April 6th.

This was a little exciting because there were hints that that new fashion items would be worn during the fashion show. The fashion show was held in a Ballroom of the Honolulu Convention Center. I'm borrowing a photo from Kawaii-Kon's Twitter because we couldn't take photos in the room. This was not the fashion show but you can see how the state was set up with screens on the side. There was a runway that came out from the stage.

There was a decent line to get in but even so, I ended up next to some of the photographers in the front. This was nice because I was able to chat with them a little. It also was nice because I was able to have a decent view of the new Moi-même-Moitié fashions.

The show started with the same video that was used at Sakura-Con along with music from Moi dix Mois. Right off we were treated to new fashion with two models showing the Gardenia dress and apron. Here is a photo of the outfit from Moi-même-Moitié.

Following this was the Lace Cross jumperskirt in black and white. We then got a treat as a model came out wearing the brand new Bat blouse in white paired with older Moi-même-Moitié pants for a great elegant gothic aristocrat look. The guy next to me said it was a beautiful outfit. 

The next dress may have been the Cross One-piece in black with a white Rose Flare Sleeve Cutsew underneat. It was followed by the newer Catherine one piece and then by the new version of Sleeping Garden lace-up jumperskirt paired with the La Belle Rose bolero. With each model walking to the end of the runway, we were given a good look at each outfit and the crowd really loved seeing each one.

The new Nocturnal Romance dress and stockings were shown and then a real treat happened. Moi-même-Moitié premiered their new yukata! It is white with stripes and blue roses. They are working to get this produced so hopefully we will see photos of it in the near future. It was a definite crowd pleaser and the guy next to me loved it.

There were a few more surprises left. Following what I thought was the Juliet dress in black, worn with a corset, we got another surprise. There will be a new version of the popular Silent Moon print! These were one piece dresses in white with black, black with white, and black with blue, if I remember correctly. They were very nice.

At this point they had reached the last model of the show. Wearing the new Bat Cape in black with blue lining, Mana strode out in his tall boots to the cheers of the audience. His outfit was the same as in the new promotional photos for the cape except his hair was in the visual kei style he favors for shows. For the fashion show he wore an over-skirt and pants.

All of the models came out for the finale and that was it for the show.

And I am now updating with a photo Mana shared on Twitter of everyone who modeled at the fashion show

Next I have something from another event on Saturday. The Mana Question and Answer session.
