VICENNIAL – INTO THE NIGHT A Book by DavidB and JameyB

46 PAGES | 20 YEARS
GothicChicago Calendars – Events – Photos

Born out of frustration with being seated in the back of a restaurant because we looked too “Goth” (aka “weird”) – we decided to share Goth-friendly locations and events in Chicago and eventually worldwide online.  The scene has grown – Goth is in the malls, Cosplay is all the rage and the world is a little smaller (and more wonderful) due to social media.  To celebrate 20 years of spooky stuff for spooky people, this 46 page, full colour book shares highlights from 1996-2016.

Because even the most shadowy lady or gentleman of the night occasionally needs to venture abroad during the day. Our shady parasols help protect your luminous pale skin from sunlight.

For wicked aristocrats, try a dramatic Vixen parasol in raven or lush shiraz. The stately Empress parasol is unmatched in elegance. And for dark-romantic Victorian ladies, we recommend the lace Contessa and the Duchess.

For the deepest shade and a waterproof canopy, the Monk parasols are our best sun protection for your delicate skin. A handy accessory also for the discerning gentleman, (maybe not the hot pink, but you never know!)

Keep elegantly cool; see our black lace fans on our FANS page. (Includes the Secret Language of the Fan.)

Manière Noire is a collective project of Atelier Oil and Sugar and Cimmerian, based in Montréal. A pretext to create obscure items and accessories for a Noir Lifestyle. Started on the 31st of October 2016 with the goal of designing and producing one enamel pin design per month, accompanied by art prints, original illustrations and other types of items, yet to be announced.

Our name comes from the french term for mezzotint, a printmaking process in which the artist produces an image by burnishing a textured copper plate, creating light areas from a solid black base. Manière also means a way of doing things, which resonated with our vision of a lifestyle brand.
