GOTH AND PIRATE PLATFORM SANDALS BY DEMONIA.

THE COMMITTEE COMMEN... LE GRAND GUIGNOL: 19...

Posted by La Carmina on June 3, 2008

Goth sandals, black and silver flower platform shoes. There comes a time in every Goth Loli’s life when the aesthetic benefits of wearing rocking horse shoes are obscured by the pain of multiple blisters. I listened to my feet and picked up a cheap pair of Bravo Browns sandals for everyday wear. They’re black platforms with silver stud accents, but otherwise not very interesting. Most disconcertingly, they barely qualify as Gothic.

Goth platform shoes, customized with crosses and safety pins. All it took to recify this problem were a few cell phone charms from Daiso, the Japanese 100-yen discount retailer (and another of my favorite places for DIY fashion inspiration). I sewed a silver crucifix and a fleur-de-lis to the side of one shoe. Safety pins and two crucifix dogtags mark the other. The HEAVEN marking on the tags might fool a casual observer into thinking these were customized by h.NAOTO!

Pirate Goth alternative sandals and platform shoes by Demonia. Demonia a UK line of alternative footwear, sells platform flip flops that are all Goth-ed up and ready to wear. Demonia’s latest sandal offerings are marked with skulls and crossbones. (Perfect for a Pirate Lolita who’s forced to sweep the deck.) On the company’s website, you’ll find combat boots, Mary Janes, irregular straps, giant skull buckles… everything but the blister that too frequently accompanies the bound-and-laced look.

I think ur great at what u do.Though I'm more into a understated style of dress than the lolita style I am inspired by it and can appreciate the beauty.
I also plan on taking some elements from all the different types of lolita looks as I begin to design clothes for myself

Hi,
Your website and your clothes are sensational!

I love Sade's 'Justine' and 'Juliette,' too. Some of your designs would make great costuming for a staging of either of them.
