From runways to street style, this year is seeing a bold resurgence of gothic influences. Think black leather, lace, and a touch of dark romanticism. Gothic fashion has always been about more than just dark colors and edgy details; it's a statement, a blend of rebellion and artistry. In 2024, this trend has evolved to incorporate a modern twist, with elevated silhouettes, bold accessories, and a touch of grunge.
