5)Gothic Fashion
Goth is a dark and morbid subculture. Typical Gothic fashion includes black dyed hair, dark eyeliner and nail polish, red and black clothes. The fashion styles are mostly inspired from the Elizabethans and Victorians. Goths often have a deeper and different view of the world. They were deep in literature, poetry, role playing games, fashion and arts.
Examples shown above is Alexander McQueen’s 2001 Voss Collection. Using feathers and black ostrich plumes, the delicate nature of the dress is offset by its hardened shell bodice.
Another designer who always associated with Gothic fashion is John Galliano.This cotton gown had been texturized to look like red leather. I love the volume and the asymmetry of the skirt, and the staked cross necklace is the perfect accessory for such a strong piece.
