Tripp NYC built its name on bondage straps, zippers, studs, tartan and heavy black separates worn by the club and concert crowd. The brands below split that formula into a few different directions, so pick by which part of Tripp you actually wear.
Killstar (UK, founded 2010) is the most direct swap: pentagrams, ouija and moon-phase graphics across dresses, mesh and lace tops, oversized hoodies and platform boots, sold mostly direct online and priced in the low tier — generally cheaper than Tripp. Disturbia works the same goth-grunge-punk vein from Newcastle with subverted pop-culture graphics, cargos and knitwear, and is expanding in the US on new investment. Jawbreaker Clothing leans Victorian gothic and steampunk with in-house prints on mesh tops, pinafores and tartan skirts, while Banned Alternative covers goth, gothabilly, cyber and pastel-kawaii with most pieces around £30–£60 — the easiest place to fill out a wardrobe cheaply.
Dolls Kill is a retailer rather than a single label, which makes it useful when you want vinyl, mesh, plaid minis and platform boots from several brands in one order. UNIF is the Y2K-punk option: baby tees, heavy hardware and chunky platform boots out of LA. For shoes specifically, Iron Fist does tattoo-art and horror graphics on platform heels, wedges and creepers, and Dr. Martens is the durable, mid-tier anchor boot the whole subculture already owns.
If you've aged out of full bondage-pant mode, Mary Wyatt London makes small-run corset midi dresses, wide-leg trousers and slogan outerwear, and FoxBlood sells minimalist "modern noir" LA womenswear in inclusive sizing with most pieces under about $150. Black Craft Cult and Sourpuss keep it graphic-tee-led, and Black Milk is where to go for printed leggings and licensed pop-culture drops.
Killstar and Dolls Kill sit lowest; Sourpuss, Mary Wyatt London, Dr. Martens and FTP are mid. BatNorton's unisex, conceptual tailoring runs oversized, as do Disturbia's and UNIF's tops — size down if you want Tripp's tighter cut.
Killstar is the closest overall — a British alternative label doing gothic and occult prints across dresses, mesh tops, oversized hoodies and platform boots, sold direct online at a lower price tier than Tripp NYC.
Killstar and Dolls Kill sit in the lowest price tier. Banned Alternative keeps most pieces around £30–£60, and FoxBlood's mainline stays under roughly $150. Dr. Martens, Sourpuss, Mary Wyatt London and FTP are mid-tier.
Iron Fist for platform heels, wedges, sandals and creepers with skull and tattoo-style artwork; UNIF for chunky platform boots; Dr. Martens for the classic 1460 eight-eyelet boot; and Dolls Kill if you want to browse several platform brands at once.
Yes. Mary Wyatt London makes small-run corset dresses and wide-leg trousers in London, and FoxBlood does minimalist "modern noir" LA womenswear in inclusive sizing — both black-heavy but far less hardware than Tripp NYC.
FoxBlood explicitly cuts its range in inclusive sizing, and BatNorton's Saint Petersburg-made tailoring and transformer skirts are unisex and cut loose.
