Steampunk -- The Style, Costumes, and Art of this Creative Community

Posted by Jessica Weber onMar 29, 2013

What is steampunk? Imagine Victorian style mixed with the Wild West and infuse it with future technology. It is classical, technical, and whimsical! One doesn't simply learn how to steampunk. Contrary to some assumptions, steampunk isn't only about wearing awkward goggles and pointless cogs. Its about dreaming for a better world, a world in which the men are still gentlemen, educated, and respectful. The women are ladies, not balcony ladies waiting for their prince, but intelligent, brave, cunning, powerful ladies. It is a community where creative and passionate people get to be badass and have fun doing so. We've collected a gallery to show off this unique culture's style.
