What does Goth mean?

Gothic was first used in the Renaissance to distinguish the artistic styles of the Middle Ages (5th-15th century), with terror, supernatural, death, decadence, witchcraft, castles, abyss, thorns, night, curse and vampires as symbolic elements.

Gothic style uses the artistic theme of darkness, fear, loneliness and despair to shuttle back and forth between the sacredness and evil in the inner world, depicting the struggle between love and despair, pain and sobs.

Goth originally refers to Goths, belonging to Germanic tribes in Western Europe. It was first used in the Renaissance to distinguish the artistic style of the Middle Ages (5th ~15th century). Its origin comes from the German Goths who invaded Italy and disintegrated the Roman Empire in the 3rd-5th century. In the15th century,

Italians had the idea of reviving ancient Roman culture, which led to the brilliant Renaissance. Because Italians can't get over the historical enmity caused by the destruction of the Roman Empire by the Goths, in order to distinguish it from this period, they called the artistic style of the Middle Ages "Goth", which means "barbarism".

Goth said that people are clothing styles.

In order to meet the growing needs of society, the types of work are subdivided, such as garment industry is subdivided into cutting, sewing, fur making, hemming, embroidery, belt buckle making, jewelry making, dyeing, leather kneading, shoe making, glove making and hairstyle design, and other independent workshops.

Since the13rd century, the wool industry in Normandy, Piccadilly, Shambani and other places in France has developed, which has promoted the development of social productive forces, and the progress of material civilization has improved the life and cultural level of Germans who were originally in a low cultural state.

During this period, the costumes were more luxurious and colorful, and the court life of the emerging nobles produced and formed a fashion trend that showed the unique cultural characteristics of costumes in the Gothic era.
