Mourners of religion will abolish their religious culture and all religious connotations they had once subscribed too, yet they will still be in a state of disbelief and grief. These people will treat the death of their religion as they would the death of a person and funeral like apparel will be seen.
Feature One: Heavy Lace
The lace will be used in every which way possible, covering the face being a common feature so to hide any past association they had with religion and society. These black lace veils will help distort the wearers vision and therefore distort the way they see the world, this will help to reinforce the fact that the world is no longer how they know it. The lace material will also help enclose the wearer, segregating them from other society to be able to deal with their own mourning.
Feature Two: Velvet
The inclusion of velvet material to the trend will help juxtapose what the wearer used to be. Religion teaches people to live in a mentally rich way but to sacrifice material belonging. Velvet is a rich and sumptuous material that is associated with gothic culture and self indulgence; this connotation will separate the wearer further from their past lifestyle.
Feature Three: Black
Almost all clothing for the mourner will be black. Black is the primary colour representing death and morbidity. Religion often encourages the religious to wear colour, celebrating their life; this again opposes this idea and shows the disconnection of religion from the new world. Black will be featured in every sense, from clothing to make up. With the Innovators and early adopters of the trend there will also be an inclusion of dip dyed hair, with the ends being black compared to the fairer roots.
