What do you get when you mix ‘Goth’ darkness with Paris haute couture? Apparently you get Noir. It was no surprise that this would be the clothing for the Morticias gone ultra-glamorous. The fact that Noir means black in French should tip you off that the collection wasn’t going to be centered around Disney. But not to be totally kitsch, Noir gives you so much more than a gimmick. The fabrics are luxurious, the silhouettes are slinky, and despite the consistent dark color scheme, Noir oozes with femininity. We are not talking black lipstick, and demonic tattoos-- leave it to the French to create a vampiric wear anyone can sink their teeth into. Here are some examples from their current collection:
