Tarina Tarantino Victorian Punk Fashion Collection –“By intertwining inspirations of Gothic style and 1970s punk rock, I created the collection Victorian Punk. It combines my adoration of turn of the century clothing and Victorian colors of red, black and purple to create a story of romantic gothic fantasy.” -Tarina

What I think: Tarina Tarantino also has fashion collections in Electric Butterfly (orange), Bibarucci (yellow), Candy Cameo (pink) and Tokyo Hardcore (green).
