i like the idea of skull plates!

 

[utopia]

I love love love anything bronte related...they inspire me so...

to bring it into the 21st century, charlotte gainsburg as jane eyre. again, the grey is predominent over black, but there is some dark blue, brown and black in the costumes as well... from http://www.math.utah.edu/~gold/gainsbourg.html

I really love the look of this film...it really captures the mood of the 'new' gothic...or at least the gothic that this thread representing.

Beautiful costumes, utopia, and like the paper doll too ... my favorite part is the little portrait of Rochester

 

[softgrey]

i like those colours too utopia...thanks for posting...

i am finding that in real life though, i have to 'anchor' the whole look with some black or it all just either looks too washed out or too costume-y...


i'm still experimenting...

chris...i think that sounds great...
a little dagger or sword is really sexy too...

 

[purechris]

yes.....but I don't want to pay Chrome Hearts prices

 

[helena]

do you know something...I have never understood the appeal of Chrome Hearts......

 

[purechris]

it's def a target customer.....I'm not the biggest fan of the line, but I like the rock and roll aesthetic of it.....

 

[softgrey]

)?{\0\0\0\0)?\0\0u check around the lower east side you can find some designers doing that sort of thing i think...

it's sort of hit or miss...but i've seen some good stuff here and there...
