Gothic fashion is usually stereotyped as a dark, sometimes morbid, eroticized fashion and style of dress. Typical Gothic fashion includes black dyed hair and black clothes and both male and female goths wear dark eyeliner and dark fingernails. Styles are often inspired from the Elizabethans and Victorians.(Wikipedia)

This October, two magazines opted to have a fashion showdown across their pages. Vogue Italy and Flair magazine let every reader decide on whose Gothic fashion is the best.

The October issue of Vogue Italia features a sort of a black widow-harlequin look. The models were dressed in see-through black lace with diamond patters, chiffon and long evening gloves. They also used black balloons and grapes as accessories. One can clearly see that they have a sort of retro-modern, avant-garde, Gothic image.

On the other hand, Flair magazine had a set of pictures called “Gotica”. The pictures are mostly black and white with splashes of color. A model is photographed with pale bare-chested men who are made up to look like zombies who seem to be battling for her soul. The backgrounds are eerie and sometimes ghostly, feels like you’re in a horror movie.

Despite the resurgence in dresses, many women like to wear trousers everyday. Pants are practical for the business woman and manlike looks always change to classic style.

The 2 fashionable autumn styles are the easy high waisted flared pants from boot cut to the widest 1970s flares.

But the style getting attention is a slim line version of the peg-top trouser line, which was in fashio in 1980sn. These peg-top pants sometimes now called CARROT SHAPED TROUSERS taper to the ankle, and usually have tuck pleat fullness at the waistband. This style can be very flattering if you have a paunch. Note that too much fullness can make a woman look frumpy. Yves saint Laurent as the centre image shows, did it best. This was sharp and sophisticated designing.

So on-trend, carrot-shaped trousers are not easy to pull off. Experiment with the look and don this pair from H&M teamed with sharp shirts…

Finally the skinny leather pant is a catwalk fashion coming to a shop near you this autumn.

Have you imagined yourself in a strange land? You’re with people who weren’t dressed like do, who ate food that seemed exotic to you, who follows a different faith and who belonged to another raise. How will you mingle with them? How will you bridge the culture gap? What will you do to mix in with the crowd?

Carmen Kass was in these dilemmas as presented in the editorial of Vogue Nippon October issue, entitled Stranger in a Strange Land. Photographed by Yelena Yemchuk, Carmen was in French and Italian gowns amidst traditional Japanese kimonos.
