Goth Fashion Going Uptown?

Goth Fashion

The latest fashion line from Z Spoke by Zac Posen, includes a sampling of Gothic clothing designed with an upscale feel. The thought of taking Gothic uptown is in itself an unusual move, making it interesting, and well, bizarre.

Posen described his new line as "Americana gone to the dark side."

While much of the line doesn't represent that in my view, here are a few interesting pieces to look at. What do you think? Do you consider the ensemble Gothic?

I like the first piece here, especially those cute gloves and matching shoulders. The black dress looks gorgeous as well.

This second piece is also great. That high neck, which is typical of a lot of the Gothic look of the ladies, is a nice touch. The long sleeves are also a nod towards many in the Gothic lifestyle who prefer the combination of long sleeves and high neck.

In this last outfit, those wide sleeves look fantastic. The way the outfit wraps with the belt is great. Add to that the wide pants and it's a compelling look.

It's interesting to see the influence of Goth on the fashion industry, and how it is interpreted for those seeking the style.

A number of Goth women love to have a white or light foundation to create interesting looks, and the one in the photo above is really nice looking.

Those dark eyes, red lips and dark straight hair, along with the Goth top really are set off by that white foundation, which very attractive, and the dark eye shadow finishes off the fun and beautiful look of this Goth woman.

Gothic Fashion | Women's Black Trenchcoat

Gothic Fashion Women's Black Trenchcoat

This is a gorgeous women's black trenchcoat, and while simple, is unique. The way it is held together in the middle, leaving that openness at the top and bottom really is cool, and would flap nice while walking or in a breeze. Very nice.

Gothic Fashion - Bondage Men's Trenchcoat

Here is another great and unusal Gothic men's trenchcoat, and everything about it is compelling and exciting to me.

All that hardware on the coat doesn't have a look of being too busy, and those bondage connectors on the sleeves to the coat are really different and fun.

You'll definitely make a serious fashion statement wearing this trenchcoat.

Here's a very cool Gothic men's trenchcoat that looks great, and could fit into a lot of social situations.

The hooks are nice and those shoulders of the coat really stand out and are unique.

Nice Gothic men's trenchcoat. Gothic fashion continues to be very popular and has spilled over into mainstream fashion; and rightly so.

Creepy Gothic Woman Cemetary Photo

Gothic Fashion

This is definitely a creepy looking Gothic woman, with the dark eyes looking out like she's the undead, and the graveyard as a background. It looks like she's sitting on top of a grave, either being in it and having arisen, or ready to go in. Either way, it's a pretty spooky and scary look. I like it.

Gothic Fashion | Gothic Lolita Look

Gothic Fashion

I guess you'll see every type of variation when you look hard enough, and that's the case with this Gothic lolita look, which really isn't that bad, and isn't as bad and naughty as I'm sure all of us have seen.

It is a unique Gothic fashion look for women though, and different that most I've seen before.

Gothic Halloween Skeleton Costume

This Gothic Halloween skeleton costume is really great, and I like everything about it. Skeleton Halloween costumes are always a fun and necessary part of any Halloween party and celebration, and this would be a truly great one to wear.

Love the pale hands and face which make the skelton costume stand out so good.

Before you tell me, yes I know it's art, but the type of Halloween skeleton costume is easy to get, and it's copying the look that I'm getting at, which would be really cool.

Goth Corset Black Fishnet Stockings

Goth Fashion - Corset

Finding this gorgeous Goth corset and fishnet stocking look, I had to include it in the ongoing series of Goth fashion photos.

This is a sexy and hot look, and the little Goth accessory around the neck really adds a subtle beauty to the overall beautifully dressed woman.

Goth Fashion | Hot, Sexy Corset

Goth Fashion - Corset

We've been looking at some Gothic fashion in the last several posts and talking about how the Goth lifestyle is highly individualistic and self-interpreting. That's definitely the case here, in what could only be considered a completely modern take on the corset, which of course is borrowed from the Victorian times.

But as many Goth women embrace a more Victorian look overall, this woman really keeps it modern looking. Still, looks great.

Goth Woman Waiting for Train

I love how Gothic fashion draws from the vintage and Victorian look and then adds some of its own modern interpretation to the feel. With this Gothic scene of a Goth woman waiting at a train station, it has everything going for it, and is very compelling and fun to look at.

To me it's like looking at someone that lived for 150 years and incorporated all those fashion styles into one outfit. Very nice.

Gothic Fashion | Unique Gothic Hairstyle

Gothic Hairstyle and Makeup

Goths are of course known for intrepreting their own unique version of what Goth means to them individually, and that's the case with Gothic fashion and hairstyles.

With this Gothic female hairstyle and makeup, it's very cool looking, and I love how the hair, makeup, accessories and clothing complement one another so well.

A lot of people would consider this bizarre fashion and makeup, but I really like it.

Goth Fashion | Woman's Hook Trenchcoat

Goth Fashion

What a good looking black women's Gothic hook trenchcoat. I think this would look good with just about anything you would want to add to it. Gothic accessories anyone?

One thing I especially like is that high collar around the neck area, which is easy to miss if you're not looking closely. Great Goth women's hook trenchcoat.

Goth Fashion | Men's Trenchcoat

When I first saw this Gothic men's leather trenchcoat, I really liked it, and I still do.

The coat and buttons work great with the black leather, and it wears really nice. Anyone would look great in this Gothic trenchcoat.

Just add the right Goth shoes or boots and get a pair of those shades and you'll be ready to go.

Goth Fashion | Makeup and Attitude

Goth Fashion and Makeup

Gothic lifestyle is all about showing who you are individually, and with Goth and makeup, it's all about attitude and how you want people to see you.

One popular aspect of Gothic makeup is the pale foundation, as shown with this young woman.

What I find interesting in using that type of pale background, is it gives you an interesting canvass to work from, and almost anything will work with it, just like a white wall where you live.

This particular look if very intriguing, and I like how she did it.

Goth Fashion | Cool Goth Female Fashion

Gothic Fashion

I enjoyed this photo of the Gothic woman and her fashion statement. She has a nice black corset and those black wrist bands look great.

But my favorite of all his her dreadlock hairstyle and the reddish/brown tint or or accessory in her hair.

Add that to the white tou tou (which seems to be growing in popularity in Gothic fashion) , and you have a nice overall look. I only wish I could have seen the shoes or boots she was wearing, as I'm sure it would have completed her cool statement.

Goth Fashion | Unique Goth Fashion

Goth Fashion

Goth is known for being whatever someone wants it to be, and expressing yourself in your specific tastes and desires.

That's the case with this Goth woman who has a little bit of everything in her fashion statement, and isn't afraid to mix-and-match a variety of styles and time periods to make it.

For example, you've got the punk look on her head, which was where Goth emerged from, while also having those little dainty bows which seem to contradict the punk hairstyle.

Then she includes a corset, which is also popular among Goth women, while then including the white tou tou, which seems to disrupt everything again.

It's pretty fun really, and she definitely has some boldness to combine all the things she likes to look like she does.

The only thing I can say about this is strrrrrange. The entire look while bold, just doesn't do anything for me. The dark eyes may be interesting, but that hair sticking up in the back turns me off. And the whole look doesn't seem to go together, including the lip and other piercings.

Now if this was a real Goth, I would change my tune, but since it's a model, which obviously is just being attempted to look Goth, I'm not as nice as I would normally be.

You know real Goth when you see it, and this isn't it, although anything can give you ideas.

Goth Girls | Wearing Almost Everything

Goth Girls

If you are Goth or follow Goth lifestyles, you know the underlying foundation is there really are no rules, and Goth is what you want it to be through who you uniquely are.

That is definitely part of the makeup of the Goth girl who has all sorts of busy things she's wearing, and somehow, it works good for her.

She has some of the roots of Goth look with the punk hairstyle, the typical black clothing, but then adds a white tutu and little white bows.

Strange but fun fashion for Goth. She has really embraced expressing herself as a Goth, and has done it extravagantly and intricately.
