In this episode, I dive into the world of moody aesthetics with YouTube's dark muse queen, Silkymochi. Also known as Melyssa Mochi, she talks about her Dark Muse series, a captivating exploration of gothic edge and dark aesthetics. We break down the inspirations behind each muse—Vampire, Witch, Siren, Haunted Doll, and Fairy—and how these can be tailored to real-life fashion. Melyssa shares her personal journey, tips for transitioning into dark aesthetics, balancing professional attire with moody elements, and even integrating astrology into your style. This episode is a treasure trove for anyone looking to embrace a mysterious, elegant, and authentically dark style, or anyone looking for creative next steps in their personal style building.
