International Steampunk Fashions



To state that Steampunk is a passing fad would be false.  Steampunk has taken the fashion world by storm.  Based around the Victorian Era, Steampunk fashion melds Victorian apparel with steam-driven industrial design.
 
Fan of Steampunk are all over the world and its popularity continues to grow.  Author Victoriana Lady Lisa has compiled a beautiful hardbound book, published by Schiffer Publishing, with her International Steampunk Fashions.

Talk about eye-candy!  Starting with its beautifully designed slip cover, the book feature full-color photo spreads of men and women dressed in imaginative Steampunk fashions complete with corsets, top hats, double-breasted coats, button shoes, lace, leather, belts, brass, veils, velvet and cleverly designed chrome, brass, glass accessories such as glasses, jewelry and odds and ends of mechanized body parts and augmentations.

Put simply-this book is a load of fun to look through and relish the images.  Lush photos filled with fine apparel modeled by Streampunk aficionados.  I literally spent hours pouring over the book's pages.
