Emo pastel goth.

Emo Pastel Goth brings the emotional directness of Emo together with the dark aesthetic of Goth and the soft colors of Pastel Goth. A substyle that won't pick a side — and finds its identity right there.

Where Emo meets Goth

Emo and Goth share an attitude but differ in expression. Emo leans on emotionality and tight cuts, Goth on distance and volume. Emo Pastel Goth takes from both: skinny silhouettes and layering, chain details and soft colors. Pastel pink next to black, lavender under ripped fabric. The style works on the street in Berlin just as it does in Tokyo.

Wear it, don't perform it

Emo Pastel Goth isn't a stage look. A pastel shirt under a black jacket is statement enough. Accessories — chains, rings, bracelets — add accents without excess. Those familiar with references from the Gothic scene read them in. Those who aren't see a style on its own.

In the collection

Tops, pants, jackets and accessories that blend Emo cuts with Pastel Goth colors. The pieces work in Cyber-Goth combinations just as easily as in more minimal everyday outfits. No borders between scenes — only between boring and not.
