This autumn marks 25 years since the launch of Gothic Beauty Magazine, North America’s longest-running gothic publication. Since 2000, the magazine has been a steadfast chronicle of dark culture, spotlighting designers, musicians, and artists across the international goth scene. With Issue 58, the magazine continues that tradition, arriving alongside the Gothic Beauty Box 58—a collection of curated fashion and beauty items that bring the aesthetic of its pages into everyday life.
Inside Issue 58
Issue 58 highlights the ethereal Valentin Winter of Elysion Atelier, whose couture and fantasy-driven designs embody the elegance of the gothic imagination. The issue also features Bibian Blue’s Arteggio collection, inspired by classical art and mythology, alongside a spread on Blackwood Castle, the gothic fashion house led by Yasaman Gheidi. Music and culture coverage includes an interview with Miss FD, whose fusion of electronic witchery and gothpop continues to thrive, plus reviews of new releases from The Cure, Amulet, Night in Athens, and more.

A Quarter Century of Gothic Beauty
For 25 years, Gothic Beauty has remained a touchstone for the international goth community, enduring while many other print publications have vanished. Its blend of fashion editorials, music interviews, and cultural coverage has made it both a resource and a keepsake.
Issue 58 and the Gothic Beauty Box 58 underscore why the magazine continues to endure: by bridging the gap between the printed page and the physical artifacts of the scene itself.
Gothic Beauty Box 58 and Issue 58 are now available exclusively as part of a bundle with the newly released Gothic Beauty Box 59 and Issue 59. Supplies are limited.
Gothic Beauty Box 59
The next installment, Gothic Beauty Box 59, is also now available to order, paired with Issue 59. Features in this upcoming issue include:
