Gothic Style

Moodboards to represent the gothic elements of her work. 

Gothic fashion began to evolve in the early 1980s from the appearance of post punk music artists such as, Peter Murphy of Bauhaus and Sioxusie sioux (Marshall makes many references to them being style icons to her in interviews). The use of makeup within the gothic trend is vital and considered an art form, the 'vampire look' being the most popular. This look is achieved when the face is very pale, combined with black eyeliner and glossy black or red lipstick - the makeup style that Marshall wears and usually styles on her models. The heavy use of black and fabrics such as leather, lace, velvet and silk throughout Marshall's collections add strong gothic themes to work.
