Necessary Evil

Authentic alternative clothing for people that love it, designed by people that love it. Don't settle for anything less.

The Necessary Evil collection is where it all began — our in-house label of original goth clothing designed by Kate. Each piece is created with thought and care, blending dark elegance with genuine wearability. Many are now made right here in the UK, using soft, durable fabrics that move beautifully and stand the test of time.

Expect dramatic draping, batwing sleeves, flattering cuts, and cosy layers that feel as good as they look. Whether you’re dressing for work, wandering through moonlit streets, or just want something comfortable with a gothic edge, you’ll find pieces that make you feel both confident and at home in your own dark style.

We’re proud to be making this collection more inclusive with extended sizing up to UK 24 — because gothic fashion should fit and flatter every body. These are clothes to live in, love in, and keep for years.
