Gothic Revival: The Darker Side Of Fashion
Black Is Back!
Modern fashion is and remains a fabulous melting pot of many different styles, trends, and subcultures. And one particular subculture has been around for as long as we can remember, ready to spook us back! Whip out your black velvet, lace, and heavy makeup: 'Goth Core' is here to stay and won't be going away anytime soon.
Icons of the Dark
From the sultry singer Lana Del Rey to the fashion trendsetter Julia Fox, gothic style's darkness is casting a new spell on us, captivating us with its mysterious charm and rebellious spark.
Lana Del Rey: The Ethereal Muse
The desert heat of Coachella, the pulsating beat of music, and there she is - the ethereal Lana Del Rey, black-clad beauty. Taking the stage covered in a sheer also bride-like black lace veil, the audience is spellbound by her powerful vocals and the seductive allure of her gothic gleam.
Julia Fox: Fearless and Dark
That said, Del Rey is not alone in embracing the shadowy side. Fast-rising star Julia Fox has a reputation for a fearless attitude and avant-garde sense of fashion. Taking her style from the gritty streets of New York to Hollywood's red carpets, Fox radiates an air of dark glamour, fusing edgy sophistication with raw sensuality effortlessly. Her signature smokey and messy eye-makeup paired with her love for leather and her long dark hair, showcase the essence of modern gothic style.
The Modern Gothic Revival
This year’s gothic revival is a reinvention of the past and modern times. Cookie-cutter conformity’s days are long gone, no one wants to fit into a mold that was created for them. The challenge is to break that mold and live by your own vision. Designers are pushing boundaries and taking risks by mixing elements of goth fashion such as leather corsets, and extreme silhouettes, and combining them with modern-day elements to create a fusion of old and new that speaks to anyone wanting to embrace their darker side.

Velvet is everywhere, pairing lace with leather is chic, and owning a questionable amount of black boots is the norm. Fall/Winter collections praise the moody color palettes to the max. From classic black to deep purple and burgundy, colder months are the perfect time to step into your goth era and try out something new. The bolder eye looks, darker lip-liners, and cool-toned makeup seen in high fashion and all across social media, make the perfect partner to go with your gothic wardrobe.
