SANCTUS // A Gothic Inspired Selection

I must not fear.

Why celebrate the center of summer? Instead I suggest a pre-Halloween ritual of decadent delirium. After all, summer is merely the sweltering crucible inferno all of us must weather to earn the sacred season that is autumn. What will you be sewing for spooky season? Which is a year round event after all. Hold the holy power of perfect pumpkins in thy heart dearest, and sequin away, for certain styles need early planting before the harvest.

(Youtube's compression absolutely CRUNCHED the quality of this video, so I am uploading it here as well in hopes the Patreon quality is better?)

Thank you for your patience and support!

Cheryl Rosbak · July 6, 2024

Your lighting effects in this are truly fantastic. The collection is gorgeous -- although the hat angle/shape at 3:56 reminds me of a movie or video game monster's head? I have no idea what I'm thinking of.

T
The Closet Historian · July 10, 2024

Thank you Cheryl! The shape was entirely dictated by the applique itself really, though I am glad if it is creature-like ✨

Karen Lawler · July 6, 2024

The sequins work was just STUNNING. Flame reflecting in water indeed - it was absolutely incredible, I’ve never seen anything like it. The whole collection was gorgeous but that piece was just exceptional and you could really tell how much time and effort you put into it.

T

Concetta · July 5, 2024

I’ve watched it three times now…and I STILL do not have adequate words to describe the impact of this collection. It is regal…divine…dark in the best way possible. As a viewer I was transported to a gothic cathedral where the oldest secrets are kept. Bianca, you are truly amazing. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the universe.💜

T
The Closet Historian · July 10, 2024

Thank you Concetta ❤️❤️❤️

The amount of talent and artistry you have is incredible. It’s so inspiring. The red sequin sleeveless jacket - I gasped 🤣 the time it must take to put all this together is mind boggling.

I love this so much - I'm imagining the storyline of an innocent head priestess of an unknown fantasy religion being seduced by the dark arts

Frau Rosenmaier · July 5, 2024

Thank you so much for this wonderful collection! I am literally on the floor and don't know what to say. The outfits are just epic and I absolutely love the accessories and hats of this collection as well. This was 100% worth the wait. And now please rest (or try at least!) to recover from all the hard work you put into it. You should actually come to Wave Gothic Festival in Leipzig/Germany one day in one of these looks. It is the world's largest gothic festival that takes place across the whole city and doesn't only include concerts, but also markets, exhibitions, picnics and much more.

T
The Closet Historian · July 10, 2024

Thank you!! I will try to rest...eventually 😅✨

Penny Johnson · July 5, 2024

19:42 and 21:56 I cried. It's like you became people from the past.❤️ You were motionless and solemn, and with your head down and the quiet music, it was like watching a warrior after battle, or an animal after its master died. And the way your set looked like the inside of a cathedral, it was like each "character" was a new visitor to the church, a series of tourists from different eras. Timeless. It feels like you took more time to just be still in this look book, and it really conveyed intense solemnity, almost mystical at times. I think you must be a genius. I must add that your thumbnail image is really unique and very impressive. In this outfit, you're like the hood ornament of a 1935 Buick (that sounds not nice, but I mean it in the best way!) A magical journey through time and fashion. Brava!!

T
The Closet Historian · July 10, 2024

Thank you Penny! I am happy to be a fancy hood ornament ❤️✨

P
Puck · July 5, 2024

what an absolute treat to wake up to. You've really outdone yourself. The echo on the voice over reminds me of taking a tour in an old church, and I don't mind it (it's also spot on for the mood). That silhouette cutter you bought might have just been the best purchase of the year so far, every time I wonder where you'd find a fabric for a piece the answer is "I made it" absolutely insane. (apart from the sequinned evening bodice, which is even more insane but I agree, absolutely worth it)

T
The Closet Historian · July 10, 2024

Thank you!! I am already eyeing 3D printers next 😅

I may be a grumpy old gen x crone but the teenage goth princess I once was, and who is still very much alive inside me, is jumping up and down squealing at all these looks. We don’t deserve you Bianca.

You are so talented and distinctive. I loved so much of this collection but OMG that flame embroidery look (#14) was absolutely jaw dropping. When you said it nearly killed you, I thought "wow but you can see the difference"

Mariah Hoover · July 4, 2024

That was absolutely stunning! 😍 I know I just have Cyberpunk on the brain today(😅), but I can absolutely see some of the looks in Night City - at the Black Sapphire or wandering around Charter Hill! (only a little related to the lookbook: One of my cats hopped up to watch it with me and right when I went to take a picture of her, she fell off my lap 😭😂 Poor baby was offended by me laughing so much)

This is like the most beautiful fusion of Dior circa Galliano, McQueen, Mugler, Stephane Rolland, and Jacques Fath. You’ve outdone yourself. Each of these is similar yet distinct, with your personal style clearly visible.
