The House of PomegranatesElegance * Romance * Deathliness

About Us

Hello, we are three sisters, Alice, Elizabeth and Sarah, and this is our blog. Thank you for visiting. Let’s start then with introductions. We live in Toronto, that large, mysterious city in southern Gothic Ontario, Canada. We live in a rather large and haunted house, and have lived here all our lives.

We stumbled upon Gothic Lolita, GosuLoli, at a gallery show of photography from FRUITS magazine and fell in love with it. We’ve always dressed a little outside of the norm and have never really fit in. We long for what you used to see in 80s magazines like the FACE when boys wore just as much make up as the girls and people were busy being clean and smart and stylish. We think we’re very much in need of this again. Don’t you agree? And, as part of that we decided to design our own clothes.

We were totally inspired by a number of things, the look of Gothic Lolita, music, movies, Fashion at the Edge by Caroline Evans. Our desire is Elegance, Romance and Deathliness. We called ourselves the HOUSE of Pomegranates as we are a real design house, like Worth or Dior or for that manner Galliano, Westwood or McQueen. We want to make hauntingly elegant dresses, sportswear for the deathly teens that we are! Daywear! Nightwear! Edward Gorey at the beach wear! But why stop there? We will publish books from like-minded authors. Perfume? Of course. Design. Yes! Please visit the store, buy, buy, buy! You’ll feel so much better if you do.

So here we are, on a blog, starting a fashion empire. Thank you for visiting.
