BECOME THE NEWEST TYPE OF THIS CLOTHING STYLE. OFTEN
LINKED TO KAWAII FASHION, THIS STYLE INCLUDES A GREAT
COMBINATION OF DARK AND SOFT PASTEL HUES WITH
TRADITIONAL GOTHIC ACCESSORIES.

KINGS TO TOWERING SPIRES REPLACING
SOLID COLUMNS TO ARTISTS FINDING
BEAUTY IN DARKNESS. EACH STEP HAS
SEEN A REVOLUTION OF SORTS AND A
TENDENCY FOR CIVILIZATION TO REACH
INTO ITS PAST TO RESHAPE ITS PRESENT.
THIS IS HOW WE GOT FROM WARLIKE GERMANIC TRIBES
SACKING ROME, TO AN AESTHETIC OR SUBCULTURE
IMBUED WITH ,THE DARK AND MELANCHOLY, A HINT OF
HORROR TINGED WITH ROMANCE.
