in is goth really happening this fall? on style observer
I didn`t say that. What I meant was that it is a lot of elemenst that make up gothic fashion. Those clothes there are just plan black clothing.

The only designers I can think of that has truly understood this, must be Vivienne Westwood, Gaultier, McQueen and Galliano

Madeline_Rhodes There's a lot in the set that consists of more than just plain, black clothing. The textures, contours, patterns and imagery add a whole new dimension to the just black theme.
Anne Marie You didn't even think of those, you copied those from that girl that actually knows what fashion is on gothfash. What the hell? There are an epic amount of fashion designers that know what goth is and have brought it back to the runway time and time again. It's not a super secret clubhouse that no one has ever heard of. It's a music based subculture with a rich history of fashion dating back to the late 70s - and trust me, most of the things chosen up top are GAF. I'd wear them in a heartbeat. I have a huge problem with people who think that mainstream press can't call anything goth because it's oh-so-special. It's perfectly acceptable to call things goth without the long disclaimer that some people think it's a magical special way of life that no one but me understaaaands. No matter what that brief fad of cybergoths tried to do to the scene, black is still the new black and what the majority of goth kids wear.

Have I said that? No, I haven`t. I`m just saying that those clothes are just regular black clothing. There`s nothing gothic about them.

Sure, people can dress goth without embracing the lifestyle. By all means. But those clothes are no where near gothic fashion.

Just because it is black, has a few studs trown in and some skulls, does not make it gothic clothing.

How can they call their clothes goth just because their black? Goth is much more then just clothes. It is a way of life for many. I doubt that those designers even know what goth is.

Goth people doesn`t just wear black either.

Jean V. Pratt So... then what is Goth? What is the way of life? Why can't someone play with Goth style even if they don't necessarily embrace the Goth lifestyle?
