Haute gothique

Fashionologie got my attention with a word that pops up all too infrequently beyond the purview of Oswald Boateng corsets or John Galliano's closet. Certainly, Givenchy has not been down this road since the days of Alexander McQueen.

The Spring 2007 Givenchy haute couture collection is like opium for the eyes -- I just couldn't get enough. Very understated. Very mysterious. And my favorite -- very gothic.

Style has images of the Spring 2007 collection and the video which shows it off to best effect.

Not to worry, the fashion system powers only refers to goth style as a kind of cut-up. We are just another ethnicity like the "tribal" Maori-inspired pieces in the same collection.
