Pamela Love and Zac Posen Embrace Victorian Goth Attire

Pamela Love teamed up with Zac Posen to create this fantasy-ridden Victorian goth collection. The collection featured a raw toughness through chokers, cuffs, earrings, brooches, headpieces, belts, and other accessories. 

The Fall/Winter '09 collection will have fashionistas lining up at stores in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia beginning in the upcoming fall season.

Implications - There is more to the Goth aesthetic than merely being edgy and macabre. The iconic style has displayed remarkable longevity in popular culture that is a testimony to this style's staying power. With that in mind, this collection of Victorian Goth fashion proves yet again that spiked accessories and outfits continue to draw the watchful attention of consumers around the world.
