Victorian Sci Fi. Anything that involves ingenuity and creativity without further waste. That which redefines time should be celebrated and deserves thoughtful consideration.
Jules Verne. H. G. Wells's The Time Machine. Art Nouveau. Whimsical fantasy. Victorian England. Romanced technology coming alive with a heartbeat and misapplied technology.
There are no hard and fast rules for Steampunk style, its why it is possible for British adventurers, sky pirates, neo Victorianas, mad scientists to exist under the same moniker.
Militaria, top hats, industrial Gothic leathers, corduroys or 'cords' as we call them in the States, velvets, browns, antique black or lightly touched with antique white laces, any color can be steampunked with perhaps the exception of neons. Gogles, monocles, skeleton keys.
Even Tiffany jumped on the bandwagon
Goes to show you how powerful this movement has become.
...Marching band jackets paired off with Victorian skirts, riding boots, docs (as in Martens)...
Oscillating antique fans lull me to dreamland...
My favorite aspect of the steampunk movement is how it combines technology with sustainability and DIY aesthetics
