Tripp NYC as seen in Vogue

Those that claimed that goth clothing would never be mainstream were sorely mistaken. Clothing brand Tripp NYC stood against the test of time and proved itself a classic and timeless brand like any other haute couture fashion house found in the market.

While black, spunk, and goth used to be underground and eccentric, designer Daang and Ray Goodman embraced clothing heavily influenced and inspired by goth and rock n’ roll. In the year 1984, they established their flagship brand Tripp NYC at New York’s East Village.

Their clothes were a hit. In an era when people wanted to veer away from the norm, Tripp NYC’s arrival to the fashion scene was timely. Tripp NYC clothing, which fused New York street style, music, and colorful, bold patterns, became very well-received. A huge underground following for Tripp NYC was soon formed.

Tripp NYC clothing line consists of T-shirts, hoodies, corset tops, and skinny jeans. Their unique flare lies in the details of the clothes: the intricate studs, multi-functional zippers, splatter details, heavy buckles, stretch material, bondage straps, and bright colors. Clothes also typically possess a grungy, ripped, or distressed effect. For women, mini-skirts and skimpy tops keep the brand sexy and daring with just enough hints of metal and military.

Over the years, Tripp NYC soared into mainstream and experienced widespread popularity. Celebrities and fashion magazines were eager to feature the brand. Among the celebrities, Cameron Diaz, Good Charlotte, Iggy Pop, Madonna, Slipknot, David Beckham, Lilly Allen, and Kill Hannah were some of the many that sported the Tripp NYC look. Meanwhile, chic and upscale magazine Vogue had included the clothing line in several of their issues. Tripp NYC also appeared in Bust Magazine, Seventeen, Teen Vogue, Time Out, Gisele, Cosmopolitan, and Radar Magazine, among others.

Until today, fashion magazines look upon Tripp NYC for emerging trends. For the year 2009, Tripp NYC continues their collection with pop art and animal and skull prints. A new palette of rich dark colors will also be introduced to the market. Their recent collaborations involve the Ramones and cartoon brand Skelanimals.

Tripp NYC still stays true to their rock n’ roll roots. Their most popular item is their skinny jeans. Tripp NYC can be bought at boutiques and select online stores.
