If you’ve been living under a rock, you may not have noticed the increase in Gothic & Lolita fashion cropping up in North America. Morrigan NYC is one of several North American designers who have been inspired by Gothic Lolita fashion and they just announced their new Raven skirt, now available for pre-order on their site.
The skirt is darling with a unique Raven print inspired by Edgar Allen Poe. There’s a customary black with gold print, quite gothic and certain to match any number of other pieces in your wardrobe. However, it’s the creamy antique white version of this skirt that I’m feeling a flutter over. The black print against the aged white reminds me of the dusty, sad heroines of Poe’s literature. It’s not pristine, a little wistful, but lovely still.
