The Killstar Wicked collection is showcased in a Gothic catalog that embraces exaggerated makeup looks and the label's [occult-themed streetwear staples](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geeks-rule-hellsing).

Lensed inside of a subway terminal, this advertorial highlights the label's range of [printed maxi dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir), harnessed body belts and patterned leggings that are adorned with pentagram, cat and ohm imagery. The pieces are showcased in a palette of black and white tones.

The Killstar Wicked collection is nothing short of striking and is modeled by a Goth couple who poses on city streets and on the subway platform. In addition to its eye-catching wardrobe staples, this lookbook highlights platinum blonde hair styles and makeup looks that consist of pale skin, black lipstick and anime brows that are heavily applied and exaggerated in their look.
