Whilst Gothic has been powering into full Spring Summer collections, some designers have used the aesthetic as subtle hint within a greater collection. One of those is Jill Stuart at New York Fashion Week.

The Jill Stuart Spring Summer 2013 Collection had a much more delicate and romantic noir style, a soft gothic element that was prominent in a small number of pieces of the show.

The lace, organza and patterned black fabrics all created a beautiful vision of romance and darkness.

Our personal favourite had to be the cropped puff sleeve separate with the matching patterned pencil skirt, a must for any femme fatale. A simply divine design.
