bachalo is one of the more well know contributors, along with the book 'the league of extrodinary gentlemen' which the movie was based on a comic book. there's a lot of comic book referance for this trend. they sorta go hand in hand...the final fantasy video game series as well.

havent seen this look in the uk yet but i love it .. its fab i kidna dont get how its punk though tbh ?? maybe thats jsut me being nieve .. I would love to see more pics as this is not something ive seen in the uk b4

/\ the punk part comes in because there are a lot of leather and studs and somewhat goth elements...the pics posted aren't the best representation of this style. let me see if i can find more...

we have a lot of this fashion here in new orleans but it's more sloppy. but i like it when it's put together.

The video game Bioshock comes to mind, which utilizes a strange old-world approach to futuristic technology (eg. administering gene therapy via a big brass hypodermic needle). It's primarily Art Deco in style. There are so many parallels to draw between that time and the current energy surrounding new technology.

They got awesome steampunkish pocketwatches and goggles at Camden Market

Browneyes · 01-07-2008

I wouldn't buy into the whole look/lifestyle, but I do like some of the individual pieces (leather chest-straps or whatever they're called and long gloves for example) and influences.

Makes me want to watch League of the Extrodinary Gentelmen

Little Voice · 04-07-2008

my goodness, this look is amazing. i am completely enthralled.

note to self: must search for some amazing goggles.

Ianastar · 19-07-2008

Im running into examples of Steampunk everywhere now. Or maybe Im just more aware of it. The more I see..the more I love it.

I was on a site for BJDs and Dollfies recently and saw a whole thing devoted to the dolls in Steampunk get ups. Very cool

Interesting looks although some looks are a bit overdone.
