Our uniform was designed by Joanna. Danke to all who submitted a contest design, and to Go With Oh for making this coverage possible.
Our local Goth guide, Key, took us to Mystica in Alexanderplatz. This location is about to move, so check the website for the new address (there are two stores).
The store stocks cute and Western Goth goods. DJ SiSen got his PVC jumpsuit (worn in these photos) at Mystica.
A Steampunk jacket. The quality isn’t always tops, but prices are reasonable.
In any case, Berlin is not the place to buy Lolita dresses or Japanese Gothic/Visual wear. Here, you should go for old-school and deathrock clothing, such as these skeleton jackets.
Mystica had a good selection of alternative brand shoes, like TUK.
Next, we went to Savage Store. Love their cute cat logo.
I was impressed by the latex wear sold here — excellent craftsmanship and design. Clothing is also sold via their online store.
Probably the most famous Berlin Goth store is XtraX.
There’s a large selection of underground fashion, from tutu skirts to lace-up tops.
There’s something for the whole family: men, women and kids clothing, much of it casual.
XtrX has two floors and a giant section for stomper shoes, like New Rock.
Yukiro got colored contacts and a poster.
Now, let’s shop for J-pop. Hello Kitty lives near our Charlottenberg apartment in J-Store (10625 Charlottenburg, Berlin).
In addition to character goods, J-Store vends Japanese brand alt clothes, like HellCatPunks.
The store Neo Tokyo specializes in manga and anime, but also has a rack of J-clothes.
I laughed at this Yaoi.
Neo Tokyo has a rack of Japanese magazines, including Jrock and Visual Kei ones.
Look who’s in this issue of Gothic Lolita Bible!
Phew, that’s quite the tour. Remember to eat and hydrate when shopping — or you might commit harakiri!

Oooo! You should have included a photo of the gorgeous HayDee Sparks, the designer behind Savage-Store and the Savage-Wear latex label! (Extra goth points: she’s a live guitarist for In Strict Confidence!)
Also, a music treasure-chest: the retail store for the influential German label Out Of Line! It’s located in Friedrichshain, at the Frankfurter Tor U-Bahn station: http://www.outofline.de/content/stores.htm
I *always* stop to see what’s new!!
Aww she wasn’t in the store at the time. It’s one of my favs in Berlin!
Thank you sooo much :-* !

I’ll really visit these stores when I go to Berlin sometime (which’ll probably be soon). Thanks! :)
Awesome!!
awesome! yukiro is in the gothic lolita bible :D
but you should’ve been in it too!
I’ve got a question. If anyone knows where I can buy and try on New Rock boots, could give me an adress. Very important!
We mustn’t forget the importance to guide for buying the fashion product. Here i am seeing many beautiful products which are too attractive and less expensive. Well these are won’t be the only brands or product we should buy I also know a fantastic relevant brand which is really splendid. I am saying about Hand Embroidered Dresses which are really interesting. When I see these outfits I get culturally enriching experience.
