6 Haute Couture Houses With Deep Goth Energy

Where velvet bleeds, silhouettes whisper and darkness dazzles.

Couture is art that the fortunate few get to live inside – but its stories belong to all of us.

Each collection is a narrative stitched in silk and shadow, and we love when those stories lean hauntingly beautiful and unapologetically macabre.

With baited breath, we await collections with mourning veils delicately draped, corsets sculpting silhouettes into regal statues, 90s grunge colliding with Victorian vampires and runways drowning in tulle, velvet and lace.

We’ve curated a shortlist of six goth-coded couture houses that consistently stir our imaginations.
