The New Gothic / Neogoth

[softgrey]

i agree...that skirt is beautiful runner....
the purple and all the textures...mmm...yummy...
thx...



i think there is perhaps an element of the 'highwayman'...
in some of the more rock n roll versions of the new gothic style....

I that top by sharon wauchob...too bad it wouldn't look good on me

I was browsing through bluefly.com and ran across this Dries Van Noten black silk pleated capelet Very New Gothic no ?

 

[softgrey]

ugh...i can never open a bmp attachment...
dries capelet sounds gorgeous......

*why wouldn't that top look good on you hanne..?
it seems like it would look good on anyone...
i'd wear it in a heartbeat...


i also found these dries sleeves...
rakuten.com...

*faust had these i think...or mrs faust anyway......

 

[Hanne]

how about now ..credit still to bluefly.com

the top wouldn't look good because you have to have a size b cup or smaller.. it would look completely different on me..

 

[faust]

/\ yup. they are gorgeous (I meant the Dries sleeves).

 

[softgrey]

omg hanne............

omg omg omg......

*faints*...
*weeps*...
so incredibly divinely heavenly....

*faints again*...

[Hanne]

Tell me about it...I tried it on.Softgrey,you would have needed the smelling salts,and not in a good way .

Exquisite garment though!

Wow...those 'happy goth' pics are divine...love those outfits...and that cape.

*dreams of being rich*

 

[softgrey]

no...i don't believe it...
i am sure that top would look good on both of you...
i don't understand...

so, i just checked bluefly and saw the price......
*takes smelling salts from hanne*...

...and that's the discounted price...
but it's so so lovely...


thx for posting it!!

 

[softgrey]

oh...sorry..
i was so excited about the capelet that i missed hanne's explanation...
what about layering it with another top under?...

 

[Hanne]

I think the idea w. sharon wauchob's top is that there are layers - dimensions and the draping of the fabric needs to the contrast - the less ampel cheast and flat stomach. If your body doesn't match those criterias then the look will be off...

 

[softgrey]

hmm...
well...i have a different idea...
i feel like it disguises certain trouble areas because of the volume...

i like for a modern take on the new gothic look...
see...it doesn't have to be all black...

Guys, after all your warnings I didn't even blanch at the price tag (not so bad ) ... that cape really is lovely.

And I agree about the highwayman ...

I have been meaning to mention, I think Jade Jagger kind of works in this genre, and has maybe been a bit prescient with her designs ... her modern mourning jewelry:

soft happy goth pictures = !
tht top is too gorgeous . . so romantic !
& the jewellery . . . the skull earrings !
i want some ivory skull + crossbone earrings . . .

tht purple skirt tht runner posted reminds me of this 80s dress !
o ! dressing up !

 

[softgrey]

i totally agree...ta-ta...
nice stuff...and i am not usually a fan of 'fine' jewelry...

i also noticed that utopia was wearing a victorian spoon made into a bracelet today which is very cool...

utopia...
when you have time...
maybe you could post a close up of that here?...
i wish i had bought one when i was in london now...
