Regal Noir Bolero

A bolero is one of those things that sounds like a footnote until you see it done right. Over a corset, over a bodysuit, over basically anything that needs an edge, it changes the whole read of a look.

The Regal Noir Bolero from Banned Apparel does the work in black satin damask, a pattern with deep roots in gothic and Victorian-influenced dark fashion that's been running through alternative subculture long enough to feel earned rather than borrowed. It keeps the silhouette intact while adding structure and texture, which is the whole job. Melbourne's alternative scene has always had a strong current of theatrical goth running through it, and this sits comfortably in that tradition.
