Gothic fashion is a dark and dramatic style characterized by its use of black clothing, Victorian-inspired elements, and a blend of punk and romantic aesthetics.
Gothic fashion emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s as an offshoot of the punk movement. It was heavily influenced by gothic rock music and literature, Victorian mourning dress, and horror films. The style evolved over time, incorporating elements from various subcultures and historical periods, and continues to have a dedicated following today.
