How to look undead cool
Gothic clothing is the height of fashion at the moment. Emma Pinch finds out how you can vamp it up this season:
VAMPIRES are dead cool just now, thanks to the likes of Twilight and True Blood.

Gothic clothing has been a sartorial staple for sixth-formers and students for years, of course, but mainstream fashion has been filching black leather and PVC, Victorian lace and dark nail varnish from their wardrobes this season.
This year’s Goth can be soft or high gloss vamp, looks embraced by Kristen Stewart, Madonna and Rhianna lately. River Island and Topshop are particularly good sources for styles you’d willingly be caught undead in.
This week’s fashion shoot took place at the atmospheric St Luke’s Church, aka the bombed-out church, on Bold Place, Liverpool.
The venue is run by artists in residence Urban Strawberry Lunch, who host and perform various free gigs, poetry readings and exhibitions. For details on events taking place or staging an event there, go to www. usl.org.uk or tel: 0151 709 7562.
