    Goth is Forever

    Not crazy about the mediocre article from the NYT, but check out the slide show. I can't believe she doesn't mention Olivier Theyskens. I am probably going to check out the FIT exhibit next week.

    I think we should start a thread with goth (ninja) runway looks.

    Good lord, this is really a terrible article. What's really awkward about it is that she tries to combine the FIT exhibit with goth as a youth subculture. I was at FIT the other day and while the exhibit does cover gothic lolitas and a tiny bit of teenage-angst-goth, it's really in the minority. The highlight for me were definitely these incredible pieces from Kei Kagama that are essentially mechanical clothing –*there are these planes of broken glass and functional pulleys and levers that you can adjust the clothing with... It's a little hard to explain and this is the only picture I could find online.



    Either way, the exhibit is definitely worth seeing.

    And yes, it does have some Olivier Theyskens in it.

      I think I'm going to go. Maybe even take my entire class. Are we allowed to visit FIT or is that treason?

          I've been meaning to go visit... especially since this goth girl on the street tried to convince me.. after she asked me what boots I'm wearing. Maybe tomorrow.

                    haha, read the article - not very impressed (although I like the first few passages and hints for a good tounge-in-cheek article, sadly not). But GOD I want to go to that exhibition - will someone fly me over?

                      There's no excuse not to check it out if you are in the City. I'm going back for the book launching!

                        they have a mistaken definition of goth, and the gender imbalance is irritating. an exhibit in the basement doesn't make galliano more credible than ann et al. most of the great pieces (except rodarte) were from the 90's, bad editing or regression in fashion?
