Slipper Chair by John H. Belter





This chair is really rich in texture which is done with the technique called carving. It has a fantastic detailed pattern. It has a sense of contrast both in material and both in colour due to the use of brown with blue and wood with silk.

This photograph is a perfect example of neo gothic due to its black and white colours, building and fashion used.





Topshop Spring/Summer Collection 2013
 by JW Anderson





The hair, clothes, patterns and shoes are all in black and white and so that is what makes them neo gothic. The design of the whole outfit is similar to the repetitive shapes of Alexander J. Davis's dining room's wall pattern.
