Navigation: Context Tags

The third navigation page uses an adaption of the other pages’ interface to display all post tags divided into categories naming the type of context-placement they belong to.

Hover the tag-name to view a brief explanation and click it to show its postlist.

Skill Tags: dispersing between fabrication and knowledge fields
Line Tags: dispersing between the separate clothing lines
Contains: primary, secondary
Style Tags: dispersing between sub-genres of Gothic fashion
Treasure Tags: dispersing between various kinds of treasure
WGT Tags: dispersing between different days of the WGT

Due to the growing nature of this blog, not all tags are ideally distributed yet. Some further changes may also take place within the Style Tags, a classification method I find utterly difficult to manage.

Buying Make-up (eyeshadow)

Just returning from an enlightening little visit to the local dragstore for a specialist’s selection of powder, creamy and water-shaded eye-shadows to accomodate further experimentation into more dramatic looks.

Navigation: Post Categories

Liking my layout for the chapters-interface so much, I opted to adapt the design for a second navigation page, listing all posts ordered per category this time, taking unused pictures as representative thumbnails.

Exhibits: Full outfit illustration, accompanied by a clarifying total-outlook description incorporating composition analyses.
Exhibits: Directing sight onto a single completed garment, carefully photographed to display its principle characteristics.
Exhibits: Visualized reporting of recently undertaken ventures into procuring materials and resources fundamental to the work.
Exhibits: Highlighting specific steps from the construction process deemed noteworthy due to their technique-elaborative nature.
Exhibits: Individual design breakdown featuring in-depth construction stratagem formulated around comprehensively detailed drawings.
Exhibits: Displaying photographed valuables, uniquely begotten or especially requested from manufacturers within the Goth scene.
Exhibits: Contemplating the motivations behind the work, textually rationalizing choice direction and general preponderance.
Exhibits: Recollecting personal memories or impressions affiliated with a specific day in history, presented in video-graphic format.
Exhibits: Sharing craftwork patterns exhibiting couture techniques in documenting each step from the construction process.
 

May this perhaps be a fitting opportunity to revisit some of those older gems of posts!

Navigation: Blog Chapters

When first visiting this blog, it may seem a little overwhelming, which is why I decided to implement a number of content-indexing pages that contain lists of posts exemplifying the variety of navigational methods this platform has to offer.

The first of these pages displays all posts submitted to this blog, chronologically ordered into chapters which are periods of time gracing a continuous construction purpose, often leading up to an important event.

Concerns: starting of the blog, managing resources, planning the WGT, conceptualising outfits, buying materials, getting to know the WordPress platform.
Concerns: expanding into social media, garment fabrication analyses, progress documentation showing key steps of selected works, recalling previous attendances
Concerns: establishing post-WGT objectives, re-channeling work towards summertime gatherings, further developing the blog platform, sharing WGT experiences
 

As you can see, the first chapter engulfs the starting of this blog as well as the preliminary work for 2011′s WGT outfits, where the second captures most of the in-depth construction of those WGT outfits, while the third keeps track of the currently ongoing period leading up to the next big thing I will undertake.

Sunday’s Primary Outfit

Sunday’s primary outfit brought my own items together with some very enamoring pieces I purchased over the years.

Sunday's Primary Outfit

Starring a floor-length leather coat, built around a twelve-piece, with rings and straps decorated, bodice, enabling fitting snugly while producing a massive broadness falling down the legs, instantly setting the overall appearance of the outfit, maintained by the likewise decorated three-piece tailored sleeves rounded off in a point covering the lower hand; this coat is worn open, restrained only by a central closure-chain exposing a mere strip of skin.
The undergarments continue the trend by being limited to a set of wide leather pants and elbow-length button-closed gloves, only visible through the subtle opening of the coat, yet enough for allowing vision of the bare chest to reach up to the throat where the coat’s standing neck-tie connects the ferocious grey-fur collar covering most of the upper chest and shoulders.
Topped off by a most enchantingly forged crown, dispersing a fragmented mirror glow, reflected by the glossed-plate girdle and majestic pair of silver rings, the outfit’s condensed appearance is reimbursed by the headpiece elevating beset the already confrontative ivory horns whilst retaining the voluptuous blue shaded hair to reveal large portions of the face, imbued with dark-blue shades delineating the deep purple eyes.
