История
Established in the late 20th century, Dark Star emerged from the London alternative scene, specifically associated with the Jordash clothing company. It gained prominence through its presence in Camden Market, becoming a primary supplier for the global gothic and industrial communities. The brand's historical significance lies in its role in making alternative fashion accessible to a wider audience, bridging the gap between bespoke subcultural attire and mass-produced retail during the 1990s and early 2000s.
