    Hi

    my daughter who loves Blue Banana has suggested the following, here she is!

    Helloo, here are some well known gothic/punk/emo brands i like:

    - Celebrity Babe ( good for corsets and miniskirts)
    - Criminal Damage (VERY good quality, and well known!)
    - Atticus (well known)
    - Death Kitty (Do a lot of Gothic Lolita type clothing, coats, skirts, corsets)
    - NewRock (THE most AMAZING boots, unisex)
    - Dr. Martens Boots (Classics :) unisex)
    - Demonia Shoes (High heelled, mostly girls style)
    - Draven
    - Disturbia
    - Hell Bunny (Similar to Death Kitty)
    - Living Dead Souls (My Personal favourite clothing brand, definitely stock their clothing ! )
    - Lowlife
    - Poizen Industries


    I'd also advise, if you're ever near the Birmingham area, go to the Oasis underground goth store, it's a little difficult to find, but it's been around for 30 or so years. I go there all the time and they have such an incredible range of brands of clothing, over about five different storeys.
    I hope your business venture goes well!

    A favourite of mine is Collectif, who do punky clothing with a retro feel :) The clothes are good quality and their customer service has always been lovely.
