Our Coven - More than a Decade of Shadows, Light, and Shared Magic

To achieve truly extraordinary things, no one can walk the path alone.
World Gothic Models was never built by one person alone; it was woven into reality by the souls who believed in our dark romantic vision when it was still a whisper. Every great endeavor rests upon a thousand unseen moments – a helping hand in the dark, sleepless nights, and an infinite well of devoted energy.

From its inception on June 26, 2013, this magic found its anchor in a very specific point on the map: the ancient capital of Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria – the political and cultural center of the Second Bulgarian Empire from 1185 to 1393. Founded by native Plamena Chelavrova (Plamendura), World Gothic Models draws its deep spiritual pulse directly from the medieval heritage, timeless stone monuments, and atmospheric nostalgia of this sacred city. The proven spiritual strength and magic of time rooted in Veliko Tarnovo served as the fertile ground where our vision took hold. Here, a unique aesthetic energy was born – crafted to be passed forward to those who are truly ready to receive it, honor it, and work with its power.

Behind the velvet curtain lies a quiet truth that few ever suspect. With a tiny team of just two dedicated souls orchestrating this global vision, countless hours and endless projects are lovingly designed, though only a precious fraction ever see the light of day. True creation requires more than just time; it demands absolute devotion. What keeps this vision alive is an unyielding love for dark aesthetics, music, and gothic culture in its purest form.

This multi-layered energy cannot be contained within a single space; it lives vibrantly in the hearts of those who genuinely believe in our culture’s flourish. Every person we have met along this path has broadened our horizons, enriched our perspectives, and strengthened our collective sanctuary. The gothic community is our home. It is essential that we guard its values, cherish its history, honor its authentic creators, and remain united in preserving the moments where we feel truly ourselves.

Whether you walked beside us for a brief season, joined us halfway through, or stood by our side from the very beginning, we extend our deepest, most heartfelt gratitude.
Thank you for seeing the potential, the love, the magic, and the purpose in what we have been nurturing for thirteen years.

This is the space where we honor you – our artists, creators, and believers – because you are the living heart of our story. Welcome to the inner circle!
