'''Metamorphose temp de filles''' is a [[Japanese]] clothing chain started in 1997. Founded by designer, [[Kuniko Kato]], the chain focuses on Lolita brand fashion with a special emphasis on [[Sweet Lolita]] clothing such as [[Baby, The Stars Shine Bright]].

==History==
The brand was started in 1993 by Kuniko Kato when she split off from the major labels she had been working on. The official company was later established legally in 1997 in [[Kyoto]], moving to [[Osaka]] in 1998 and opening its first retail location.

The phrase itself is directly translated from the French to mean “Advent of an angel in the time of transformation into a little girl.” The actual order of the words is slightly grammatically incorrect in the French – a problem that stems from the translation in the Japanese.

The core of Metamorphose’s concept though fits around the idea of transformation of one’s self to become more elegant, to turn one’s self into that image of a young girl. The clothing sold by Metamorphose is often noted for its willingness to stretch beyond the boundaries of normal Lolita style clothing and as a result has become the most easily and readily accessible Lolita fashion from Japan for western audiences.
