Thanks for the interesting request! I have to admit I’m not that knowledgeable when it comes to goth fashion, so the dresses I’ve chosen are examples of my interpretation of the theme through the lens of mainstream fashion. Hope you enjoy anyway!
The “dark lolita” vibe and the creepy presentation make this alice auaa Fall 2013 dress both unsettling and eerily beautiful at the same time.
I could’ve chosen any one of many Alexander McQueen designs, and arguably some of them are more punk/goth than this one. But I adore the extravagant sleeves and the romantic, ethereal look of this Fall 2012 gown.
Gareth Pugh’s Fall 2013 creation gives off literal Edgar Allan Poe "The Raven” vibes.
I can imagine a rich vampire wandering the halls of her gloomy castle sipping blood from a martini glass and reminiscing about the old days in this stunning Blanka Matragi design.
From the runway at the Christian Dior Fall 2019 show, this dress says “warrior queen” to me.
A richly embellished piece from the Zuhair Murad Spring 2011 collection, this gorgeous gown is commanding and regal.
Imagine walking into a room in this Guo Pei Fall 2018 statement piece...
This Sherbon corseted gown is just as gorgeous from the back as it is from the front.
From Marc Jacobs Spring 2014, this beautiful dress is part lolita, part “waif from a Dickens novel."
Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2009, for a confident woman who’s not afraid to command attention (and respect).
The back interest and lace on this gown from Michael Cinco Fall 2014 are exquisite.
This ballgown from the runway at Julien Fournié Fall 2015 makes a powerful statement with its dramatic silhouette..
Perfect for the vampire trying to recreate her (human) youth, this Ulyana Sergeenko Spring 2013 gown looks as if it was partly influenced by styles from both the 18th and 19th centuries,.
And finally, this list wouldn’t be complete without Linda Friesen’s dramatic, evocative, and almost medieval Raven Queen.
