I realize that it's a bit odd for someone who cultivates a classic look to have a a secret affinity for many things goth (well, goth-lite), but I can't seem to help it, and I don't even have a good excuse. Black on black on black, leather and lace, heavy metal hardware...you just wait until we get to Milan and I feel the need to post like, every single look from Burberry Prorsum. If I were ever to have the cocktail dress of my dreams custom-made, my only instructions to my collaborator would be "Gothic Fembot." Not very classic, I know, but there's a teeny-tiny part of me hidden deep down inside that yearns to be balls out (okay, really bad expression in this context but oh well), ultra-severe, super-sexy all the time. Like Gwyneth Paltrow's wardrobe recently, all black dresses so short that they shouldn't even rightly be called dresses, and stratospheric high heels? Makes me giddy and positively emerald with envy.
So I'm rather keen on a couple of looks from Rock and Republic. The first one for being for all black (becayse I see nothing wrong with wearing all-black year-round - they call it the fashion uniform because it looks great, after all) and owing much of its interest to an assortment of textures:
And the second for featuring what could pass as a spiderweb print very very close up - weird, but cool (and if you're going to do a spat-inspired shoe, this is how you do it, Abaete):
