Consumers too are following fashion and embracing a Gothic style. They are snapping up trinkets that they would once have dismissed as perverse or subversive: silver skull cuff links,stuffed peacocks with Swarovski crystal eyes, and, as party favors, tiny rat and chicken skeletons, recent sellouts at Barneys New York

“We’re going through a moment which is defined by severity and austerity,” said Andrew Bolton, an associate curator at the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Somber hues and a rigid silhouette, he added, are the means by which some designers are expressing a broodingly romantic streak.

Other designers are consciously catering to that need. The fashion world has touched on Gothic themes before, but Riccardo Tisci, Jean Paul Gaultier, Marc Jacobs and Stefano Pilati of Yves Saint Laurent revisited them with particular zeal last spring, casting runway models as glamorous ghouls dressed in formfitting suits and coal-tinted cocktail dresses that might have materialized straight from the pages of “The Turn of the Screw.”

Olivier Theyskens, whose designs for the French fashion house Rochas are often identified with a Gothic style, says he is not surprised that his devotees want to explore the dark side along with him. People like to feel strong, shattering emotions like longing or dread “when they are feeling vulnerable,” Mr. Theyskens said.

Seminal post-punk and gothic rock artists that helped develop and shape the subculture include Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, Joy Division, and Bauhaus. The goth subculture has survived much longer than others of the same era, and has continued to diversify and spread throughout the world. Its imagery and cultural proclivities indicate influences from the 19th century Gothic literature and gothic horror films. The scene is centered on music festivals, nightclubs and organized meetings, especially in Western Europe.
