An Examination of Gothic Fashion

The next step is to immerse into a closer examination of Gothic fashion in order to find an explanation for their power to attract people. But as already mentioned before, I decided to concentrate this study rather on the aspect of Gothic fashion than of music, as I believe in fashion’s ability to communicate meaning. “Through our clothing we express our inner world as well.” Although Tuomas argues that: “the fashion is just a thing that is quite a lot only about a feeling and not so much that one wants to communicate something.” Still, I think that it is exactly this ‘feeling’ he mentions, which is the message, or the code sent by fashion and which is of interest for this work. To me, the Gothic subculture means more the inner scenery of my heart. It means a certain attitude. I reflect this by wearing dark clothes.

Vintage Dress Shoes from the 1920s

Popular forms of women’s dress shoes in the 1920s can be divided into three basic types: pumps (no straps), ankle straps (mary janes), and T-straps. Closed toes and heels were worn throughout the 1920s. Peep toes and sandle-style high heels (with either a sandal front or an open back) did not come into fashion until the later 1930s. The split upper, with the vamp covering the toes separated from the heel, came into high French fashion in the 1920s, and eventually worked its way into mainstream American fashion by the 1930s.

Chuck Taylor All-Stars: A History

Chucks were invented in 1917, and named after Charles “Chuck” Taylor, a basketball player, coach, and salesman who traveled the country evangelizing the game and selling the shoes. The 1920s through 1970s were Chucks’ glory days. But the 1970s brought new competition from Nike, Reebok, and Adidas, and Converse ceded territory as a performance shoe. After losing their footing in basketball, the brand floundered. And despite its strong ties to the counterculture movement – it was the shoe of choice for bands like Nirvana, The Pixies, The Ramones – Chucks never fully capitalized on the phenomenon. Converse declared bankruptcy in 2001.

Concepts on Voice Pitch

Voice pitch is an interesting thing to think about. On an instrument, one simply presses a key or covers a hole to create a pitch. But the human voice can create any singing pitch, including an infinite of vocal pitches in between the twelve pitches of the Western scale.
