"Le Vitrail" Project

Néant Glass presents Le Vitrail - a new fashion and arts publication for the global EGL/alternative fashion community, coming in 2025!

Updated October 1st, 2025 - Updates regarding the project (including relevant links) will be posted here as they are made available!

Please check back soon for volume 2 updates.

Le Vitrail is a project of passion led by 17 talented creators in the international EGL community.

Announced in May of 2025, volume 1 was completed in just a few short months following and hit the press on September 30th, 2025. Demand was incredibly high for the initial Kickstarter launch, earning full funding in just 24 minutes and over tripling the initial goal over the course of the 30-day campaign.

We aim to bring back a high-quality print publication for J-fashion communities with a focus on darker styles—primarily gothic—but allowing some leeway for the crossover points of darker classic, punk, and a little spooky sweet (as a treat!) 

Modelled after the Gothic & Lolita Bible that set the standard for alternative J-fashion media, our focus shifted to highlight what designers have to say about their creations and the artists who continuously work to elevate the community and fashion.

Le Vitrail Vol. 1 features 200 pages of fashion photography, brand interviews, event features, recipes, makeup tutorials, artist highlights, lifestyle articles, coord submissions from around the world, and an impressive amount of exclusive content. We were fortunate to interview 18 brands, including the well-respected h.Naoto and Atelier Pierrot, and multiple indie designers from around the globe. Our coord submission form was open for just under 3 months and we received almost 1,000 photos during that time!

Volume 1 ships in mid-October, 2025. 

Although we cannot reasonably start work on volume 2 until after volume 1 ships, our team has been buzzing with ideas for how to grow the project and we hope to continuously improve and impress the community with what we have to offer.

Volume 2 will ship in April-May of 2027.

Please check the Néant Glass Instagram for updates regarding Le Vitrail. Leftover books will be posted for sale, events around the book will be announced, and when we are ready to work on volume 2, several different submission forms will open.

In the meantime, we care deeply about what the community thinks and will be using the time between working on the volumes to collect feedback, improve our processes and content, and make sure that every volume that comes surpasses that which precedes it. 

If you are a backer of the volume 1 Kickstarter, or you purchased a copy in the limited 2nd sale window, we will send a survey for feedback via email to get your opinions and use them to improve the project in the coming months.

Thank you so much for your support!  Our team was so overwhelmed with the positive reception and outpouring of excitement around the project 🖤
