Name: James Garvin

Occupation: Goth club owner

For James Garvin, aka Kaoz Goth, every weekend is Halloween. That means breaking out the vampire finery — velvet, lace and fangs — especially when he hosts underground Goth nights every Saturday at Atomix.

“There are many sub-genres of Goth; I prefer the 18th century Victorian, ethereal drippy lace look with a little bit of vampire,” said Garvin, adding that he's about 405 years old. “Vampires age very well.”

EYE CANDY
“I picked these up about a year ago on Harajuku Street in Tokyo. They're a great conversation piece.” 

HEAVY METAL
“It's amazing what you can find when you travel around — these slave bracelets are original designs from Japan. They look hot!” 

RING LEADER
“Accessories make the look. Without them, I'd just be wearing a velvet shirt with a lace collar and cuffs.”

(RE)BOOT
“I only wear New Rock. All the others boots are just boots.” 

HOUNDS TOOTH
“These are definitely an after 6 accessory. I have seven sets now — including a wolf-style pair — all made by Count Tu Montrose here in San Antonio.”
