has anyone seen any?...that would be amazing!!..
these sound so perfectly appropriate for miss softgrey I completely agree about going about gothic with a grey tone...it's oh so very edwardian. a bit more of a 'ghostly', softer gothic than a hard edged gothic. I love the idea of this.

exactly, edwardian , late 1800's in any possible shade of grey or blue suits me perfect for fw05.06

btw, those boudicca looks are totally HOT, if only in anthracite.. or plum hmmm yummy

thanks for posting morgan

loved the way you described it as 'ghostly' utopia...

perfect imagery....like an apparition or a cloud of smoke/mist...

so soft and dark...lovely...

Those Boudicca looks are great, they're somewhat gothic without being costumey at all. I could easily see women dressing like that for fall (and I'd love it if they did, it looks fab)

I also love the mix of the black lace with shiny black leather boots, normally that mix is a bit too biker chick or dominatrix...but it works really well there.


Some other dark looks I love.....not sure how "gothic" they are, but they have potential.

Calvin Klein



Gucci


Vuitton


Donna Karan


Aquascutum

Siouxsie is my hero!

And it's not just about black....Goth for me is about layers,heaviness and texture and most importantly that moody attitude.

those Boudicca looks are perfect examples of what might be percieved as a more updated interpretation of Goth. i.e. without all that clichéd "alternative" nonsense.
