Hi everyone, with Halloween soon approaching in the next few weeks, the shops are loving the gothic A/W trend.. and so am I! Lots of leather, lace, velvet, studding, faux fur and black is bang on trend at the moment. Here is just a small selection of my favourite pieces available to buy right now..

I
was having a look through some designer fall 2012-2013 collection
videos earlier and take it from Gucci, you can never wear too much
black! Have a look at their collection in you're in need of some
inspiration, Gucci A/W 2012 Collection;
lots of head to toe black velvet and leather! The key to achieving this
look is to be bold and brave; don't be afraid to experiment with
different textures and shapes as pretty much anything goes... providing
it's black!
Studs, spikes and skulls are all over the place at the moment so don't forget to accessorize with some fierce jewellery.
Pale
skin is on trend again, which i'm glad to hear about as I'm about as
pale as you get! Vampire-esque make-up is key to this trend, and you can
go for as little or as much as you like dependent on how daring you
are! Heavy charcoal eyes, blood red lips, you know the score, the darker
the better.
Are you brave enough to go goth?
Hey everyone, I'm Briony and as part of my second year fashion management coursework, I've been asked to produce a blog, so here goes! I've named my blog, "Fashion: the story of how I came to live a bankrupt existence," as it is very apt for me; I spend most of my time complaining about having a lack of money, but that small inconvenience never draws me away from the shops!
The primary focus of my blog is to provide inspiration and style tips through the use of regular photographic styling, which will also incorporate fashion illustration... all will be revealed at a later date! In addition to this I will be blogging on current/future trends/styles and particular items that I like, and relating these trends to my styling.
I hope you enjoy my blog, and I will update as often as I can:) I'd love to hear your feedback once I get my blog up and running, so feel free to say anything you like!
