She mentions how hard these magazines are to get a hold of outside of Japan, and how sometimes the books are passed around because they are so rare. She talks about how the main way to save Lolita and other Japanese fashions are to wear them and introduce new people to them!
Like I always say, fashion evolves. It doesn't have to totally die though, since old fashions are looked upon with new eyes all the time.
