PVC Goth outfit worn by Sarn V, c2001

This outfit made and worn by Sarn V in 2001, was based on a Janet Arnold pattern. Sarn V describes the look as 'Fetish Goth Neo-Victorian'.

This outfit indicates how Goth style, rather than being revivalist and concerned with period or retro-style dress like so many other contemporary renegade styles, adapts and develops, embracing new music, dress and club culture.

The outfit is part of Brighton & Hove Museums' Renegade collection, which illustrates the history of subcultures in Brighton. It includes, from top to bottom:

Black PVC jacket with black zip fastening.
