The dark scene has been part of Faunauge’s life since 2003. Since then, my personal gothic style has evolved many steps. In the following article you will learn a lot about my style developments since my first steps in the realm of the aftershadows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wave Gotik Treffen Leipzig 2022<\/h2>
<\/div>

Great to see everything black again! The dark community was finally together again after 2 years. And to celebrate, I made a spectacular new ship hat for the Victorian Picnic. I got inspiration for it exclusively from the captain of the traditional sailing ship Roald Amundsen<\/a>. <\/p><\/div>\n

Faunauge’s Gothic Style Beginning<\/h2>
<\/div>

Actually, you’re not supposed to tell anyone. But I’ll tell it anyway. I started out of necessity with a costume for a school play in which I played a vampire. It consisted of a black velvet skirt, a homemade red velvet bodice and a completely crooked velvet cape. Well, since I needed an outfit in no time because I was asked to come just a few days before my first WGT, this combo had to do. <\/p><\/div>\n

The following years<\/h2>
<\/div>

For the next year, I was able to prepare longer. Then I got a real satin corsage and a cute lace top with lots of buttons. Some things we were able to make ourselves. The skirts, for example, were self-sewn from the beginning. I couldn’t find the style I wanted in the shops. The velvet skirt was replaced after a few years by a great wide skirt made of gabardine and brocade. To make sure the skirts fell roomy, I wore a hoop skirt underneath as well as a tulle skirt, adding more metres of tulle every year. By combining it with a strict jacket, chains and feathers, my favourite outfit to date was formed. <\/p><\/div>\n\n

The dresses<\/h2>
<\/div>

My dresses were always ensembles of skirts and tops. At first I wore a velvet skirt. This skirt was replaced by a brocade skirt. Later, I once wore a black and white striped tight dress, an homage to Beetlejuice. Then one year I decided to wear a tight, very simple (I probably won’t do that again) dress in the Mermaid cut. <\/p><\/div>\n\n

The headdress<\/h2>
<\/div>

Every year there was a new headdress, even if the outfit hadn’t changed. But the gothic headdress had to be new! First I made a tiny tiara out of wire. The very next year I made a small tricorn. I also tried a black crown made of lace. It was beautiful, but it didn’t suit me personally. That is why it is for sale. I made a mourning hat with a veil to go with my Mermaid dress. As I love fascinators, I wore a decorative hat decorated with silver chains and a mouse skull for many years. This fascinator can also be perfectly combined with different hairstyles and even a turban. <\/p><\/div>\n\n

Shift to Style in Trousers<\/h2>
<\/div>

I now wear tight black trousers, a lavish waistcoat embroidered with silver studs and changing headdresses. At one point I felt that Victorian skirts no longer suited my style. What I call the “post punk posh goth” style seemed more appropriate for me. Since then I have been experimenting with different influences from the punk scene, Viking clothing and also cultures from other countries. <\/p><\/div>\n\n

The best thing about the WGT? Meeting lovely people and enjoying the community. It’s not called Wave Gotik TREFFEN for nothing.<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\n
