Welcome to Alternative Fashion, where you can learn all you need to know about, well, alternative fashions, including goth, Lolita, industrial, cyber, punk where to buy, and even casual tips, for days where you don’t feel like dolling up. =)
Alternative fashion is "fashion on the fringe." Most frequently it appears amongst respective subcultures (goth and punk are the best examples), but there is no reason a non-member of that subculture can not enjoy them as well. If you're different, funky, freaky, or cool, or a plain jane looking to become different, funky, freaky, or cool, this is definitely the fashion choice for you. Feel free to read about the different alternative fashions featured on this site and consider which you'd fancy yourself wearing! There's...
Gothic: Gothic fashion is stereotypically characterized by nasty black hair, pale skin, and stupid drug-using teenagers, unfortunately. In reality, modern gothic fashion is heavily based on Victorian and Elizabethan clothing with a dark element added. Learn more in the Gothic section.
Lolita: From Japanese rock bands to the Harajuku area then all the way around the world to Western youth, this is the cutesiest alternative fashion around.
Punk: Making it's serious debut in the early 1980s, trends have influenced and changed punk fashion, but one thing remains the same--it's all about rebellion.
Industrial: Next to cyber, it's probably one of the least known sub-genres, and some might tell you it's not its own genre at all.
Cyber: The rave scene is where you'll find cyber-influenced fashions, but you don't have to go clubbing or like dancing at all to give cyber clothing a try!
Casual: Let's face it, many alternative styles will take some effort. Check out the casual sections for tips to looking good even when you're sick or woke up late.
