As part of the programming for the Fashion Institute of Technology's current exhibition Gothic: Dark Glamour, the institute is hosting a variety of events to elucidate the slippery subject that is "goth." This Thursday, October 30th, the event du jour will be a panel discussion on goth featuring Morbid Anatomy contributer and co-owner of Obscura Antiques and Oddities Evan Michelson, whose 1870s mourning dress you see pictured above, and Fred Berger, creator of the now defunct Propaganda Magazine.

Hope to see you there!
