ALGONQUINS (アルゴンキン) is a Japanese visual-kei and punk lolita brand. It is well-known in the Japanese gothic and punk scene and was often seen in youth magazines.

Concept

ALGONQUINS describes their brand as:[1]

文化の送り手には、様々なジャンルやテイストがあり、それらはそれぞれのスタイルやバランスによって個性を生み出しています。

それを楽しむ側では、それらを起点にして、もっと多くの枝葉を楽しむこともできるのです。何をどのように組み合わせるかが、自由な時代となっています。ファッションにも同じく、もはや、これでなくてはいけないと言う断定的なスタイルの提案は必要のないものとなってきました。

algonquinsではカテゴリーにとらわれない発想の上に立ち、常に新鮮なものを見い出して、カジュアルに表現します。

シルエットを基本として、色々なテイストを取り入れたイマジネーションで、商品群を創造していきます。そして自由な組み合わせでカスタマーが刺激され、"新しい発見が感じられるように" をめざしています。

ALGONQUINS ADDICTION[4]

ALGONQUINS describes their ALGONQUINS ADDICTION product line:

ALGONQUINS ADDICTIONとは、「　～中毒」という語源から一度味わったら他では、満足出来なくなるという意味を込めています。

デザイン性が高く、ハードなフレーバーをゴージャスで包み込みながら決してキュートな印象を失しなわない、クオリティの高い商品を展開していきます。

ここにしかない遊び心を忘れない女性のファションを目指して・・・・そこには、algonquinsから、抽出された濃厚なエッセンスが香り立っています。

English Translation[4]: "The meaning behind ALGONQUINS ADDICTION, from the etymology of "addiction", is that after you first experience it, you will not be satisfied with anything else. [Brand items] will have an expensive design and wrap a "HARD" atmosphere into a gorgeous manner while never losing their cute impression, all while forming high-quality products. Aiming for a women's fashion who won't forget the playfulness that can only be found here... In that place, there is the aroma of the rich essence extracted from ALGONQUINS."

History

ALGONQUINS was established in 1987 under the concept of combining clothes and ideas freely without any regard for nationality or gender.[5] The brand was initially inspired by a cultural story[5] from the Omàmìwininìwag (Algonquin)[6] who are Indigenous to the lands occupied by the settler colony of Canada[7]. Subsequently, the brand formed their main concept and named it after the anglicized name of this Indigenous nation.[5] According to the timeline in the book Gothic Lolita & Punk Brand Book, Vol. 2 (2005), a two-headed deity is mentioned[5], but it is not known whose story they were inspired by.

Four shops opened in 2001, and it was clear that their attitude of "freedom and individuality" was popular with consumers. By 2005 they had 15 stores.[5]

In March of 2019, the parent company of ALGONQUINS, (A-MISH Co. Ltd) filed for bankruptcy.[8]

In June of 2020, ALGONQUINS announced that they would be re-opening.[9]
