Gothic fashion tips from Burcu’s Angels (Pesky Peacocks)

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

Romantic gothic clothes are made up of selected vintage pieces or vintage-inspired designs. Clothing from the 1920s to 1975 is considered vintage, and clothing manufactured from 1975 until twenty years ago is referred to as retro clothing. 

Pesky Peacocks prom dresses are featured in Goth-Style-Secrets.com, a website that provides information on how to become the absolute Goth you were created to be - with gothic makeup, goth hairstyles and clothing tips, including corsets, PVC, leather and latex! As dark and rich hues are the dominant colors for gothic clothes, check out the vintage prom dresses on this page and more vintage gothic fashion tips on Goth-Style-Secrets.com.

Pesky Peacocks is a new vintage offering from Burcu Ozdemir, owner of alt-fashion emporium Burcu’s Angels of Main Street. Burcu’s Angels is about colour, texture, fun, magic, and I’ve had enough fun according to veteran vintage shop owner, Burcu. Pesky Peacocks is about colour, texture, decadence, magic. It’s only one word that’s different but it’s going to create a new market. Burcu’s new shop located at 221 East 16th Avenue, caters to the vintage clothing collector. There’s no polyester in sight and all pieces are collectables from the 1920s to the 1960s. A few of the pieces at the new Pesky Peacocks were included in a photo shoot for Goth-Style-Secrets.com, an artistic website that includes the romantic gothic look and style.

Information about getting a gothic hairstyle

As part of the research for this art project, I discovered that Wikipedia has a great description of gothic fashion at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_fashion. Typical goth dress usually consists of, but is not limited to, black clothing accessorized with silver and/or pewter, but can vary in the color schemes. The stereotypical gothic outfit, sometimes referred to as the “romantic” look, is limited only by the wearer’s imagination, and can include elaborate gowns and corsets, veils, hobble skirts, neck corsets, teased hair, eyeliner, black fingernails, fishnets, and styles borrowed from the Elizabethans and Victorians. Also popular are tight-fitting trousers, pointy boots, flouncy shirts in the manner of Lord Byron, and anything with buckles. The nature of the event will to some degree dictate the dress code, but expression of personal style is generally more important, and it’s not unusual for club-goers on a given night to appear dressed very formally or elaborately in a way unrelated to the specific event. This is very theatrical and Tyler and I like to appropriate elements of Victorianism at Sin City events. The promoter appreciates the added “touch of class” to all that kinkiness. Also, big hair has always been an element of goth. Read about performance art gothic hairstyle at Goth-Style-Secrets.com.
