Welcome to Necessary Evil Clothing

The alternative world is in a state of turmoil. With the dark side becoming more and more fashionable, the jagged edges of a once sharp and definitive scene are being blunted by the course sand paper of over-saturation; somewhere between Caprice donning New Rocks on Celebrity Big Brother and Jodie Marsh being executed on the Black Mass cabaret stage it seems the murky waters of the old Goth swamp are being diluted with something pink and wholly distasteful… I can almost hear singing…

Enter then the crew Necessary Evil Clothing hell bent on bringing the devil back from Prada to his rightful throne at the heart of gothic fashion. Taking sleek and sexy to the next level, this fresh and original brand of formal gothic chic brings a new and much needed power back to the scene. Hitting all sides of the subverted genre, their stylistic influences range from mafia style pinstripes to regal and elegant dresses, monk’s hoods and priestly jackets. And if, like me, you’re not a participant in the “size zero revolution” you’ll be pleased to know that their rule of keeping it real extends right down to the waist, stocking outfits for those who just happen not to be on hunger strike.*
