Fall Fashion 2008 Trends: Goth

September issues of all our favorite fashion magazines hit stands this week and that can only mean one thing--fall fashion has crept up on us.  While there may be one or two more months left of warm weather, it is time to prep for the most glorious of all fashion seasons.  Most notable trends are Goth Glam, American Classic, Future Femme and SoHo Boho.

 

Trend #1- Goth Glam

Move over preppy florals of Spring 08, Goth is all the rage for this fall season.  Dark angels transcended the New York runways of fall fashion week 2008.  Rich velvets, delicate lace and burlesque feathers all come in the black variety for this fall.  The LBD regains it's throne as the simplest yet sexiest staple. 

 

Personally I am not a huge fan of the hair piece to shoe black that many a designer put forth on the runways.  I will take the following ensembles simply as trend inspiration.  Finding a few gothic pieces you really love will pack enough drama to carry the theme across.

a. Rodart leads the pack with a collection built around spiderweb-like tights and and elevator high platforms in blood red.

b. Zac Posen features an Adams Family-like look, but not without his signature minimalist touch.

c. Vera Wang, the queen of elegance, brings a feminine touch to an ensemble that screams lady of the night. 

 

In the spirit of the goth RTW designs above, I picked out some of the accessories that will make any look reek of Marilyn Manson in just the right dose.

b. Alexis Bittar delivers this irresistable bangle: his signature lucite with gunmetal studs--so totally goth.

c.Between the black hue and the vampy detailing, this shoe will bring dark drama to any outfit.

Holy Knight:

Rodart gives so much glamor in goth society. The picture is so fantastic that I would also praise its photographer. The goth imagination is really so broad. The effect on the dress is what we need to be known by almost everybody and to gain that ultimate respect for our fashion.
