Popular Lolita brand Baby the Stars Shine Bright  has announced that they will open their New York City branch on July 19th! Even more exciting, the shop is to be next door to the reopened Tokyo Rebel shop, which focuses on Japanese alternative street brands. Baby, the Stars Shine Bright will be sharing space with its sub-brand Alice and the Pirates, which is good news for punk and goth lolita fans. On the Tokyo Rebel side, they are still official retailers for over a dozen brands (including Baby, the Stars Shine Bright)

Though the brands have not yet announced a store location, they have been hiring shop workers, setting up stock and preparing for the grand opening. (If you see any suspicious store fronts in progress in the NYC area, drop us a line!)
