Atelier BOZ is a Japanese Gothic Lolita fashion brand and clothing label. Founded by Takashi Shibata, the brand has become well known since its initial creation in 1995 as a purveyor of sleekly cut, well shaped gothic items. Black is usually the color of choice, but unlike many other gothic clothing brands, Atelier Boz remains fairly simple and elegant.
