Capes & Brocade on the Dolce & Gabbana Runway

In love with the latest men’s collection from Dolce & Gabbana.

The designers doff their caps to newsboys & Victorian doctors, as well as one familiar character…

Gothic x Romance

We don’t often highlight a particular blog, but we have recently discovered an amazing collection that we just have to share: My Love-Haunted Heart.

My Love-Haunted Heart is one woman’s exploration of and adoration for gothic romance paperbacks from the 1960s and 1970s.

She reads them thoughtfully and offers opinions and insight into the genre. We, however, have fallen in love with her extensive catalogue of cover art.

For brides-to-be who are searching for some wonderful inspiration for a gothic wedding (or simply a vintage/retro wedding with a few darker touches), My Love-Haunted Heart is an amazing resource for color palettes and just wonderful images to inspire the right atmosphere/mood.

Shadow Figures

With Halloween around the corner, we’re deep into our marathon of classic horror movies. This past weekend featured Son of Frankenstein, the 1939 Universal classic featuring Boris Karlof and Béla Luogsi. Filled with angular architecture and suggestive shadows, the set design took center stage with its Hollywood take on German Expressionism.

These handmade papercuts by German artist Reev Papercuts evoke a similar tone of spookiness, telling a complicated story in a single scene.
