Macabre
The whole electroclash-in-fashion trend was supposed to be a phenomenon that promised to revolutionise menswear. Alas, it has fizzled to a whimper. A mystery really, since electro acts like Ladytron and The Knife are still going strong. Well, in-season or not, fashion label Macabre makes really good stuff of that ilk. Combining cyberpunk with theatricality and androgyny, its designer costumes hint at a 25th century Phantom of the Opera performance. [see also Now You Own Us]

Is it just me or do you have to be REALLY hyped up on X to appreciate this ridiculous clothing?
I lost how it just completely steals from The Knife – sort of like releasing a line of red jackets and single white gloves after MJ’s “Bad” was released. This is ugly – even for electroclash.
