Dramatic Goth Fashion

The Latest Giles Collection Boasts Dramatic and Luxe Elements

— February 24, 2015 — Fashion
The Giles collection for Fall/Winter 2015/2016 graced the London fashion week stage and featured an abundance of pleather and velvet pieces that were a translation of today's Goth fashion. In addition to the collection's wool capes, velvet dresses and Elizabethan collars, its most memorable element was its dramatic makeup.

Models including Kendall Jenner and Lily Donaldson donned washed-out makeup looks that were accented with black lipstick applications. Blending historical and contemporary inspirations, this womenswear range defies convention and embraces Gothic styles in a way that is wearable.

Refining the dramatic Goth fashion aesthetic, the Giles collection for Fall/Winter 2015/2016 will appeal to fans of monochromatic outfit pairings. The collection's black and white looks are showcased alongside vibrantly hued outerwear staples and sculptural gowns that are also displayed in a lighter palette.
