From our early Manchester days in 1981, we have had a vein of Goth running through us. It exhibits itself in our love of the music, the original gothic footwear in our collection, the fusion of goth influences into new collections and our unequivocal championing of the outsider.
So, what is Goth. It’s the 19th Century actress Sarah Bernhardt wearing a stuffed bat and sleeping in a coffin, the macabre, greyscale illustrations of Edward Gorey, a coal-eyed Siouxsie Sioux submerged in a tub full of flowers or The Horrors in winkle-picker shoes singing “Sheena is a Parasite.”
It’s Dicken’s Miss Havisham haunting her mansion in a decaying wedding dress, the crows-nest hair of Robert Smith, Edward Scissorhands, and a young and boisterous Nick Cave. ,1960’s horror movies and 1880’s literature. It’s the doom, dynamism, and depths of colour black. Read more…
Many subcultures are borne from a feeling of ‘otherness’; a means of outsiders banding together with a shared impetus and uniform. None more so than the Goths, a subculture forged from themes of clandestine mystery and melancholic romance.

As part of our Global Subculture Journey we go on the road to explore and report on the thriving subculture scenes around the world. Keeping it authentic we link up with a champion, supporter, or activist in the scene so that we get a down on the ground underground report.
We have linked up with 1334 for this event . It is one night only but it lives forever.
