Gothic fashion

There are a number of different styles in the gothic subculture, here are just a few. 

Here we see Taylor Momsen wearing a more modern take on gothic fashion. There is a lot of black and lace, however the dress is cut very short, stepping away form the Victorian influence. I love this style of dress and I love how the black and her dark smokey eyes contrast with her pale skin and hair. 

Sharon Den Adel shows here that black isn't the only option. In this magazine shoot she is wearing a stunning white dress, featuring lace details and drapes. Lace is an important detail in a lot of gothic styles, it can turn even a simple looking outfit into something much more eyecatching.

Gothic lolita is a great example of how Victorian fashion and gothic subculture have fused together to create a different style. The Victorian influence is very apparent, but a lot of the length has been removed. The hair, makeup and accessories are equally as important to pull off this doll like style.
