Why do I love Meta so much?

I suppose it could be because I feel a certain sense of nostalgia when thinking about my first brand items, my Meta bouquet set. It just felt so magical pulling them out of the box and, even though they were second-hand, they still felt so crisp and pristine to me. The lace seemed so soft, and I was just tickled by the fact that the print actually said "Metamorphose" on it. I was just so overwhelmed by the beauty of these creations; I knew I had to have more.

And now that I've been into lolita for a much longer time, I can further appreciate Meta as the black sheep of the main lolita brands. Meta's designs are so different from the other brands--many people describe it as hit-or-miss, but I have yet to find one design of theirs that I absolutely despised. Of course, there are going to be things you aren't going to like about every single brand, even your favorite is sure to screw up every once and a while, but I can never hate Meta. I adore the fact that Meta's designs are so original and funky. They can do the really elegant stuff that classic brands make, and they can do the insanely sweet stuff, and they can do the really over-the-top designs, but they also do their own thing. They take their own direction. What other brand can make leopard-print and camouflage stuff and make it fit into the concept of the company?

Also, I really respect the fact that Meta can make me want to buy something, regardless of my opinion of it. For example, I really HATE camoflage and animal prints. I think camo is best left to the military and imitation animal patterns should be left on the actual animals they belong to. However, Meta has created designs with both these elements that were so creative and innovative and just absolutely lovely that I still WANTED them regardless of the fact that I really disliked a huge part of the garment. It takes a lot of skill to sell someone something they are not necessarily that crazy about, y'know?

(Also, I really love that they managed to convince me to drag my pseudo-biker boots out of storage just so I could discover new ways of coordinating them with my burando)

Anyways Sarah, I hope this answered your question. ;)
