♥ What is Hellocon? ♥
Helsinki Lolita Convention (or shortly know as Hellocon) is an event for fans and enthusiasts of Japanese lolita fashion. Hellocon is the biggest lolita event in Finland and last year we had 200 participants. This year the event is held 1st of February 2014 in Kulttuuriareena Gloria, Helsinki, Finland. The convention program consists of lectures, workshops, panels and fashion shows (more info about the program below). This year we will also host a tea party (more info below).
