As most great Gothic tales do, the story of The Vampire’s Wife — Susie Cave’s fashion brand that became a go-to for the rich, famous, royals and dress-renters thanks to its feminine gowns with macabre twists — yesterday ended in darkness.
“After 10 years as the creative director of The Vampire’s Wife, it is time for me to say goodbye,” wrote the former model and wife of rock star Nick Cave, on Instagram. A statement on Tuesday confirmed the company, which was founded in 2014 by Cave and friend Alex Adamson, would cease trading with immediate effect. The decision has shocked many.
