Who is Punk Rave? Discover the Story Behind the Alternative Fashion Powerhouse

From Dreams to Reality: The Story of Punk Rave

The Origins of Punk Rave

As a child in Beijing, Joey dreamed of fashion while wearing her older sister’s hand-me-downs, longing for beautiful clothes of her own. She wasn’t born into luxury, but she was born with a rebellious spirit—one that would lead her to redefine alternative fashion.

Her first fashion business closed in 2004, but failure didn’t stop her. Instead, it fueled her passion. She traveled, explored the underground alternative scene, and immersed herself in Gothic, Punk, and Steampunk aesthetics. Determined to bring these unique styles to life, she studied clothing design in Guangzhou, and in 2006, Punk Rave was born.

A brand that quickly became popular both domestically and internationally. By 2012, Punk Rave products were exported to 23 countries, and a sister line, Pyon Pyon for Lolita fashion, was born. Today, this edgy fashion label stands as a global leader in Gothic, Steampunk, and Punk clothing.

Why Choose Punk Rave?

OtherWorld Fashion have been selling Punk Rave since 2015, long before fast fashion brands like Killstar emerged. Back then, their designs were unmatched—dark, elegant, and truly alternative. The only drawback? Weak zippers, delicate buttons, and sizing that ran small.

Fast forward nearly a decade, and Punk Rave has evolved dramatically. Their craftsmanship has improved, with stronger zippers, reinforced buttons, and better tailoring, all while maintaining their signature Gothic, Steampunk, and Cyberpunk aesthetics.

✔️ A Trusted Brand for Alternative Fashion

Over the years, we’ve seen countless customers choose Punk Rave for their weddings, Gothic balls, and Steampunk events, and the feedback has been phenomenal. From Victorian-inspired gowns to statement military coats, their pieces bring fantasy and elegance to life.

✔️ Superior Craftsmanship & Unique Details

Punk Rave has mastered the balance between strong construction and intricate design, featuring:

Rich brocade, velvet, and jacquard fabrics that create depth and luxury.
Custom metal buttons and sturdy buckles that enhance both function and aesthetics.
Faux leather straps, distressed layers, and corset-inspired lacing for an edgy, structured look.
Stronger, more reliable zippers and reinforcements, making their clothing more durable than ever.

✔️ The Leader in Alternative Fashion

Today, Punk Rave stands at the forefront of Gothic and Steampunk fashion, pushing boundaries with each collection. We are proud to have worked with them since the beginning, watching their transformation from an underground favorite to the industry leader they are today.

How is Punk Rave sizing?

⚠️ Punk Rave sizing runs small! Many styles use non-stretch fabrics, so choosing the right size is crucial for the best fit.

📏 Sizing Tips:
✔️ Always check the size chart—each product has its own size guide, as there is no universal Punk Rave sizing.
✔️ If between sizes, go up a size for comfort, especially with fitted or structured pieces.
✔️ Older styles tend to run smaller, while newer designs are closer to Western sizing. Be extra cautious when buying older releases.
