I do too but I have a feeling we arent talking Walter Gropius...

I would've killed to go the Werkbund Exhibition. :biggrin1:

Yes, but is your kitten the only thing you have because the rest of the world is against you?

 

[SpoiledPrincess]

I think I invented Goth in 1974 when my dad wouldn't let me go to a family wedding wearing black so I stayed home and sulked instead.

We are! Hoorah! You should see the movie "Bride of the Wind" . To have Gustav Klimt, Gustav Mahler, Oskar Kokoshka and Walter Gropius all in love with her ALma Schindler must have had it going on!

LMAO! I love it.

 

[Yorkie]

I just recently branched out from a diet of black on black I now wear much charcoal grey.

Steady on... before you know it you'll be wearing psychedelic tie-dyes! :biggrin1:
I've always worn a lot of black since age 11 (school uniform was black!),when I left school I got a motorbike and black leather jacket.I had black pvc trousers in 77 - 78. Before you ask,no I don't have any photos! :tongue:
My clothes were punk,I thought the goth crowd were a bit beyond the pale... (sorry,I couldn't resist :smile

[SpoiledPrincess]

Up until about the mid 90's all my clothes were black then suddenly I was overcome with an urge for pinkness.

Pink and black. Very retro.

 

[SpoiledPrincess]

Oh not both at the same time I'd look like a licorice allsort

Along with the Goth Primer would be:

Gothic Martha Stewart

Basically, how to Goth up your home, but I feel the examples given could be a bit...er, swankier. A lot of it looks too craftsy.

I do like the page that breaks down the various subgenres of Goth and how one would decorate within those motifs.

• Victorian Perfect for AntiquityGoths.
• Medieval Another fave of the Antiquity types, plus good for FetishGoth into dungeons.
• Techno-Modern An obvious choice for CybertechGoth, also FetishGoth (it's so slick) and MilitaryGoth (so precise).
• Cemetery Well suited to the TrashyGraveyardGoths.
• Fairy Seems a little Glittergoth and NewRomantic too.
• Asian Another somewhat Cybertech and Fetish style, with HippyGoth leanings.
• Egyptian Both Antiquity and Glitter with hints of Graveyard.
• Punk DIY GothPunk of course!

Mine would probably be techno-modern, lots of black and stainless steel, with a twist of Asian (Japanese Zen, even Tibetan)....
I LOVE the darker aesthetic of things, which isn't really to say I'm Goth. But then again, I wouldn't mind a Victorian Mansion done up in Addams Family macabre, via Z Gallerie 's darker moments.

Or throw in a little decadent Hollywood Regency with the Goth, and you get stuff like MOGUL.

Really digging the whole Damask/Brocade thing that is so prevalent in current design, as well as juxtaposing black crystal chandeliers in Uber modern settings.

Then, THIS guy just has mad Goth style all the way! D.L. & Co. || MODERN ALCHEMISTS & PURVEYORS OF CURIOUS GOODS +++!

 

[iggy]

Goths are sexy... mmm

I've always loved the Addams Family mansion! My style here would be a combination of Victorian, Medieval, Asian and Egyptian (as well as some other stuff not mentioned in the list). I refer to my favorite kind of decor as "Ethnic Eclectic".

 

[SpoiledPrincess]

I once wanted to do a gothic garden, sun dials, a little victorian style gazebo, stone cherubs, and black flowers. I found these flowers that were black and actually bloomed in the shape of a bat, the seeds were £4.95 each (a packet of seeds containing a minimum of 50 seeds is normally less than £2) but I left my husband before I started doing it.

Sorry, I was updating my post when you replied. :redface:

I added some links to really cool sites with neat stuff, be sure to especially chjeck the D.L & CO Modern Alchemists one. He has Gymnopédie by Eric Satie playing in an eternal loop over his site, so dark and elegant! :biggrin1:

Spoiled Princess, a Gothic Garden would be so lovely.... A couple statues, hanging Spanish Moss, and really eerie plants...even a greenhouse all done up Victorian or Art Nouveau, with things like carnivorous and poisonous plants in them! :biggrin1:

ALSO... be sure to check out this artist's website... Mark Ryden. A strange mix of whimsical and morbid. Beautifully rendered oil paintings.

Just as far out there, is Ray Caesar. Elegant, morbid, and all done digitally through mastery of 3-d programs and texturing.


Uh...I'm enjoying this too much.

 

[SpitFireWheels]

I have so many styles intertwined with my own now I don't even know what the hell it is anymore lol

I love black,
I really like collared polos/dress shirts
I like anything with skulls on it
I love the nightmare before christmas/corpse bride or anything by tim burton
I like having long black hair that hangs in my eyes
I hate baggy jeans
I always walk around with my hood up

I think I may be an emo kid or something...minus the cuts and crying in the dark

 

[Willy_the_Wonka]

Well, yes, if you're going to be dark, you may as well have a good time doing it. :biggrin1:
