Inspiration~ Mori Kei

Hello my deers!

Maybe you have heard about Mori Kei (or Mori Girls). It's a fashion subculture that originated from Japan. It literally translates to "forest girl". It's one of the main inspirations for El Taller de los Ciervos, and it's very autumnal, but today I wanted to share with you some Mori Kei outfits perfect for Spring.

This style features loose dresses and jackets, earthy colors and vintage inspired accesories. And that's our thing!
