I invite you to watch this short clip of a Paris “Fashion” show and tell me that this industry is not deeply marinated in Satanic Imagery!
Let’s take a quick tour into the darkness of Fashion!
The fashion house Balenciaga has been linked to edgy and dark aesthetics. While not explicitly “satanic,” some collections feature phrases like “Total F*cking Darkness” and have been associated with collaborators like stylist Lotta Volkova, whose past social media posts included provocative, occult-adjacent imagery.
Balenciaga’s 2022 campaign controversies (featuring bondage-inspired accessories and legal documents about child protection laws) amplified perceptions of unsettling or taboo undertones, though the brand denies intentional satanic intent
The late much lauded Alexander McQueen frequently wove dark and mystical themes into his work. His Spring 2007 show was inspired by a supposed ancestor executed during the Salem witch trials, featuring models walking a pentagram-shaped runway under an inverted pyramid projecting eerie visuals like locust swarms.
Again, while not overtly “Satanic,” the show blended witchcraft and macabre symbolism, pushing boundaries in high fashion. McQueen also used motifs like skulls and crossbones across his career, adding a rebellious, gothic edge..
The well known Retailer Target partnered with London-based fashion designer Abprallen for its Pride collection, sparking backlash over items like a sweater featuring Baphomet and the phrase “Satan Respects Pronouns.”
Abprallen’s broader catalog includes overtly satanic and occult-themed accessories (e.g., pins with “Satan loves you”), though only a few items made it to Target’s shelves. The controversy led Target to pull some products, but it underscored how mainstream retail can intersect with provocative, satanic-inspired design.
Turkish designer Dilara Findikoglu staged a fashion show inside St. Andrew Holborn Church during London Fashion Week, featuring models adorned with devil horns, red outfits, and pendants resembling the Sigil of Lucifer.
The event transformed the church into a space evoking Masonic or occult vibes, drawing attention for its unapologetic use of satanic and Freemason-inspired symbolism. Celebrities like Doja Cat, who later sported a tattoo of Findikoglu’s name, have embraced her “dark arts” aesthetic.
These examples illustrate a spectrum of Fashion industry approaches—some explicit (like the Satan Shoes or Findikoglu’s show), others more interpretive (McQueen)—where the fashion industry uses such imagery to explore the “dark side” of creativity.
Perhaps more concisely, to embrace Satan.
