Patent trench coats, cathedral umbrellas and storm boots prove that bad weather has never stood in the way of style for the darkly inclined

The sky has been grey since breakfast as rainwater slides down storefront windows while someone in an office tower quietly regrets wearing suede. Sidewalks shine like wet pavement in a classic film noir. Most would agree it’s positively miserable outside. How delightful. It’s finally time to wear the good coat ;).
From patent trenches to skull-handled umbrellas and studded rain boots built to weather the storm, these pieces make a rain day something to look forward to.
19 Female-Led Gothic Brands We Love
An International Women’s Day edit of dark feminine brands defining modern gothic fashion and beauty

These are the baddies that get us. The women building the pieces we actually want to wear because they exist inside the same subculture. They understand our references, our humour, our obsessions and our challenges.
They make cool shit that lands because it’s ours—designed by women who understand the pure joy of putting on an outfit that makes you feel totally yourself.
For International Women’s Day, and long after the hashtag fades, we love backing the women-led brands that create exceptional work inside our community, shaping the aesthetic we inhabit.
