CDMX: The Black Archive

Forget the bright colors and tourist traps. From hidden basement boutiques in Roma to high-fashion occultism in the Historic Center, this route hits the spots where subculture is still alive. It’s a mix of industrial hardware, Victorian lace, and early 2000s rave gear for those who only wear black.

Horror Boutique

Tucked away on the fourth floor of a historic building in the heart of Mexico City’s Centro Histórico, Horror Boutique is a legendary destination for the city's "dark" subculture. It is a designer atelier and shop specializing in gothic, Victorian, and alternative fashion, founded by designer Ariel Méndez. It is widely considered one of the most authentic and enduring spots for high-quality dark-wear in the city.
