Gothic Fashion at FIT

This is only slightly OOC, as it does pertain to Victorian fashion in a way. My RL sister is a fashion merchandising student at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in NYC. We discussed her recent homework assignment regarding the school museum's "Gothic: Dark Glamour" exhibit that recently opened. I went there briefly myself after undergrad for their design program and remember being taken behind the scenes of this museum--the only one in NYC dedicated to fashion. Imagine being surrounded by carefully preserved pieces--both historic and modern. I was in heaven. The current exhibit is a mix of both as well, discussing gothic fashion's roots and current incarnations, with include Lolita, cyberpunk and steampunk. It will be there until February '09, so if you are interested, go see it if you are there.

Dark Victorian Emporium Opens

Today was the opening of the Dark Victorian Emporium in Tanglewood--a brand-new one-stop shop featuring clothing by designers such as myself, skins, accessories, home furnishings, and even horses with a dark bent. We celebrated with a dance on the roof of Dame Lapin's gorgeous build as Duckthulhu Dagger spun the tunes.

It will also be the only place where you can find goods for sale by artist AM Radio in the near future. Members of the Dark Victoria group may sell their wares there and if you are interested in doing so, please contact Mr. Posemaster Darkstone...
