Gothic Chic

Forget everything you knew about Gothic fashion. In 2010, it doesn't have anything to do with worshipping Satan and listening to hard metal music. But the black nail polish may still be there, as well as black clothes. Clichés aside, this year, on the catwalks and in the streets, the Gothic Chic trend is subtle. It's in the sheerness of a maxi skirt, the tough leather of a corset, or in the apparent metallic zippers on a LBD. The make up also plays a big part: violine lipstick, Chanel "Rouge Noir" nail polish, smoky eyes... For inspiration, Riccardo Tisci's SS2011 collection for Givenchy is very relevant, and can even serve as a guideline.
