About us
Our story
Gothic and Amazing started out as someone’s dream to show the world that Goth doesn’t have to be just dark and depressing. Like a black rose is dark but yet beautiful so why not find beauty in the dark and be Gothic and Amazing ?
And with that thought in mind one day a Facebook page was born trying to show the beautiful part of Goths. The goal was to support and promote everyone that fit that description from models to photographers, make-up artists, stylists, music bands, shop owners, designers, and all kinds of Goth forms of art. So from one person’s dream, a team of people with the same beliefs was born, the G&A team.
Here we are now making our mark and showing how we all see the goth-subculture. Be sure that we all will do our best to show support and to answer all messages so feel free to contact any one of us. Just don’t forget that growing demands a lot of work and as we grow more and more so do our projects, Gothic and Amazing today is more like a full-time job than the hobby that it was when it 1st began.
And for that thank you so much for all your Amazing support.
