Dolldelight? - Cyril Lumboy

Apparently she's a lolita designer from the Philippines and coming to Anime Expo. I find her designs interesting though I'm wondering what does the lolita community think about her designs - is anyone planning on meeting her at the expo?
I'm also wondering if Filipino Lolita community can input anything about her?

"Anime Expo, North America’s largest anime, manga and Japanese pop culture celebration, announces its first AX Fashion Guest of Honor, Cyril Lumboy, as it brings the best in Japanese-inspired fashion to the Los Angeles Convention Center from June 29 – July 2, 2012.   Known to fans of Lolita fashion throughout the world as dolldelight, Ms. Lumboy’s designs will take center stage in an Asian Street Fashion Show on Sunday, July 1 at 3 p.m.

“Japanese fashion and particularly the styles born in Tokyo’s Harajuku district have become powerful design influences around the world,” said Marc Perez, CEO of the Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation, the non-profit that produces Anime Expo. “With Cyril Lumboy and other popular designers to be announced, Anime Expo will be the place to see and shop for the most up-to-the-minute Japanese-inspired street styles.”

Working out of her home city of Manila, the Phillipines-born Cyril Lumboy developed her custom line, inspired by Harajuku street fashion, drawing from a broad range of Lolita subsets.   She launched dolldesign four years ago creating headpieces and quickly expanded the brand to include a line of custom dresses.   Now U.S.-based, she has received accolades for her progressive work that incorporate Sweet, Gothic, Punk and other aesthetics.   Lumboy is also recognized for her artistry in mixing prints in her dolldelight designs.

In addition to staging the dolldelight fashion show, the designer will also participate in a panel on Saturday, June 30 to discuss her creative process and how she built her brand through online social networks and live fashion shows.  For more information, please visit www.facebook.com/dolldelightpage.

Cyril Lumboy joins the previously announced Anime Expo 2012 line-up that includes anime-inspired heavy metal band ANIMETAL USA, Culture Japan’s Danny Choo, popular voice actors Jamie Marchi and Steve Blum, and Japanese pop star LiSA'
