To cap off a weekend of in-store meet 'n greeting at the NEW PEOPLE, San Francisco location of his goth, punk, loli-fashion outpost, h.NAOTO designer Naoto Hirooka (whom we interviewed last summer during the grand opening of the store) held a fashion show club event at DNA Lounge. CRN sent in a special ops force for pictures:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Naoto Hirooka takes the stage.

 

The event was a collaboration with Death Guild, a weekly goth/industrial dance club. 

 

You could place an order for any of the pieces seen in the show right at the club. 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope you guys recognize your Live Show co-hosts, Victoria Holden and Patrick Macias!

 

And then he made friends with this girl's hat.

I never took goths to be so organized...to have a fashion show and all. Aren't they supposed to be loners?

Doesn't that only pertain to certain people within goth culture stereotypes? These people could have thousands of friends and just enjoy gothic style.

Oh! I see people I know! Hi Derdick! Lol. As for the people talking About goths, some of my nearest and dearest friends would be considered "goths" (though they wouldn't call themselves that). Please don't judge people and put them into stereotypes like being "creepy" and "loners" before getting to know a person.
