East Meets Goth

Oriental influence in Goth clothing has inpired collections created from rich, colorful silks, brocade threads and delicately embroidered items. Eastern styles have been filtering into Goth fashion and increasing over the last few years.
 
One of the main themes being the Geisha, the geisha has long been a glamorous icon and traditionally trained in fine arts such as singing, playing instruments and dancing.
 
With Misery of Sound UK Tour, Samhain Pagan Festival, Halloween and Whitby Weekend around the corner go Geisha and embrace the Orient with a little help from The Gothic Shop!


 
This Oriental-style mini dress kimono by Hell Bunny embraces true Eastern influence. This stunning piece screams style made with luxurious black satin with a modern gothic twist of skulls and delicate filigree. 
 
 
We couldn't resist this Red silk overbust corset detailed with the mystical black dragon embroidered lace and taffetta. This beautiful gothic corset has black frill trimming and a black ribbon bow for a more feminine and seductive look.
 
 
For a transitional step into autumn try these bold coloured contrasting black Lace and Satin skirts by Dark Star.
 
We also have a variety of  Hairpins, necklaces, bracelets and watches
