Dark Glamour: Goth Fashion Origins
Posted by Models & Moguls
Goth can be one of the most startling fashion statements you can make.
It expresses “rebellion and subculture” and can elicit every emotion from fear to curiosity to attraction to disgust.
As The Luxist’s Kristen Young puts it “The fashion equivalent of a good scare on Halloween.”
Probably the closest thing you can get to horror in the fashion world is goth. At its worst, goth is all about death, rot and decay. At its best, goth is erotic even a romantic period style of dress. Typically, goth is all about dark colors-blacked out eyes, whitened skin, black hair and a plethora of body piercings. – Kristen Young
Most people think Goth came from British ’80s Punk.
Gothic: Dark Glamour by Valerie Steele traces Goth fashion from the Eastern Germanic Tribes who tried to take out the Roman Empire in what’s now modern day Turkey…
thousands of years before Dracula (Vlad The Impaler) to…
“modern-day black-clad teenagers and sexually-charged vampire fiction.”
