The core theme of Gothicana Styles for Autumn/Winter 2026 is inspired by the legend of Countess Elizabeth Bathory β an iconic figure of Gothic horror. The collection combines classic Romantic Goth with a luxurious, dramatic aesthetic for both women and men. Velvet, delicate lace, sheer mesh and shimmering fabrics create an opulent, sensual feel, while deep black is complemented by blood-inspired reds and rich burgundy tones. Intricate embroidery, ornate lace and cross motifs tie the styles together and reinforce their gothic character. Voluminous sleeves, ruffles, flowing silhouettes and corset-inspired details add romance and theatricality. The artwork draws inspiration from traditional Hungarian floral motifs and Gothic ornamentation. A bespoke House Bathory sigil sticker hangtag completes the capsule.
