Gothic, Lolita & Punk Brand Book

Volume 1 Cover

The Gothic, Lolita & Punk Brand Book (GLP for short), was a Japanese mook published between 2005-2007. In addition to the main line of brand books, they also published an interview book.

Volume 1 of the GLP mentions on it's cover that it is the 'separate catalog' for Rococo, an earlier 2-volume publication by the same publisher, Tatsumi.

Much like the Gothic & Lolita Bible, the Gothic, Lolita & Punk Brand Book features pages for each brand (typically one full page per brand) showing cut-out images of individual new garments with their names and prices. Modeled photoshoots of some pieces (typically 1 or 2 per brand) that were put together by the magazine also are included, as well as advertisements created by the brands. Each issue also has a small number of articles.

The interview book, published in 2007, features interviews with designers from most major (and many indie) Japanese lolita brands. Each interview is about two pages long with a handful of pictures, and generally they give the history of the designer, the brand or both, as well as a few other pieces of information.
