Elegant Gothic Aristocrat EGA is a subset of Gothic Lolita fashion, popular in Japan. The term Elegant Gothic Aristocrat was originally coined by Mana musician Mana , a fashion designer and former band leader of Malice Mizer , and is used to describe his brand of clothing carried in his store Moi m me Moiti . EGA gained momentum on the Japanese fashion streets in the late 1990 s when their onstage rock idol attire spread like wild fire among his fans. Eventually, the style became more accessible when mainstream stores began to carry EGA apparel. Style The style imitates the mature decadence of the late Victorian era , with emphasis on simplicity and elegance. It is an androgynous style consisting of black and white, dark colours and natural tones with delicate detailing such as ruffles or lace trimmings, and completed with black, clunky boots and heavy makeup. Accessories are also essential items in achieving the EGA look. They include corsets, gloves, waistcoats, conspicuous pocket books, stockings, bows and top hats. Unlike the Lolita fashions, Elegant Gothic Aristocrat fashion Aristocrats wear long skirts or wide legged trousers, tailored and streamlined jackets, and tight fitting, long sleeved shirts and blouses.

She was also praised for her elegance and wisdom, and was said to be a beautiful woman. She was born in about 1546, the daughter of Sugihara Sadatoshi . Hideyoshi s wife In about 1561, she married Toyotomi Hideyoshi , a man who would later become one of the three great unifiers of Japan , although at the time of their marriage he had yet to gain much fame. Nene was his principal wife and also one of his favorite wives. In 1585, after Hideyoshi was appointed to the post of Sessho and Kampaku Kampaku , Nene took on the title of Kita no mandokoro , by which she is most commonly known by in English. As the wife of Hideyoshi, Nene is most famous for being one of his closest aides and confidantes. The daughter of a samurai, she had many familial connections that netted Hideyoshi several retainers. Among these retainers were Sugihara Ietsugu Nene s uncle , Kinoshita Iesada Nene s brother , Kobayakawa Hideaki Nene s nephew and Asano Nagamasa Nene s brother in law .
