Teen Gothic

In the late 1990's there was a late night TV show called Passengers which was narrated by Jo Whiley.

In one episode there was a short segment on the Hungarian goth scene. Every person they interviewed committed suicide.

If anyone has this footage or any other good resources on Hungarian goth it would be appreciated. Thanks.

8 yearsish of daily wear, but the jacket was from a charity shop, so the material itself is probably older.

I wanted it to look sort of whimsigoth, like something you'd pull out of a wizard tower, or the back of an old occult shop.

I used leather paint, acrylics and poundshop nail polish. The badges are from gigs, online, charity shops and vendors elsewhere, I don't really remember now tbh. Same thing with the metalware, from all sorts of places.

The lining is also added by me, the original was disintegrating, so I sewn in this red-black silk on top by hand. It surprisingly wasn't too hard.

On the back is Siouxie, the sleeves are Virgin Prunes, Faith and the Muse and the Cure. The logos on the front are Corpus Delicti and Einstürzende Neubauten. It been also heavily inspired by Gustav Klimt and Dave McKean's paintings, especially Klimt's tree of life on the sleeve.

Don't ask me how long it took, this was done bit by bit over the course of years. Now I'm at a point where I'm happy with everything, don't plan to add new stuff, just keep touching up or mending as needed.

bottle caps, white paint, & micron pens! (oh reference images too lol) wasn't too happy w how the birthday party one came out at first, but it's growing on me! the march violets one took so much finessing… worth it though, i'm so excited to put it on my jacket!!

Hello everyone, I wanted to share what I recently diy-ed tonight. I normally wear all black but wanted to experiment with some color and I’m incredibly happy with the results. The red seems to make the black pop out more which makes me happy. I made these red tights to wear with my other diy-ed fishnets. The look is heavily inspired by Alien Sex Fiend’s “Who’s Been Sleeping In My Brain?” album. Let me know what you think! Thank you 🙂
