| photo i took at top shop last week...combines two trends: pins and embroidery... plus last years collar clip trend. |
For real...I can barely keep up with all these trends. I don't know how we didn't have anything exciting for a while (since the big sleeves) and then all of a sudden everything's changing. So while I'm walking down 5th ave, literally every store from Gucci to Zara has embroidery in the windows. Double points for an embroidered bomber jacket. These are all in the main windows, their signature pieces.

Dark fashion trades styles with mainstream fashion all the time, but I wonder with the last few years' trend toward folksy 70s fashion, if that'll change dark fashion. I love embroidery on its own...I'd like to try it as a craft. It's lovely, but I don't really see it fitting in with today's dark fashion, at least not in a few years, when we get a new folksy goth. It might happen--in my
witch festival post, my favorite outfit at the festival was someone wearing a really folksy-looking skirt.
Dark fashion tips for incorporating embroidery:
Strega/mori fashions would work well
As would medieval/Renn looks
If you have unnatural haircolor, the vivid colors in embroidery would balance.
Lol don't make this look sexy. You're appropriating folk, which is conservative no matter where
Have those flower crowns lying around from last year? Now's the time to wear 'em.
What do you think of this trend? What does Babcia think of this trend?
