Steam Punk

Steam Punk was first brought to our attentions in the early 1990’s, this is when it was at its greatest. Since then it has not had such a major up raw and is kept on the down low when compared to other subcultures.
The main point of Steam Punk is to in cooperate science fiction with a Victorian (Britain) dress sense, decorated with brass buttons and clock parts it gives a new edge to Victorians as we know them from history.
When the definition of steam punk is brought up there is no definite answer, everyone seems to explain what it means to them personally and how great it is to be able to escape the world of today’s fashion. The one thing that everyone does talk about is how it gives them the sense of adventure it gives you the same rush you experience when you were a small child.
















The accessorise that the people of this subculture tend to collect are pieces of jewellery, watches, goggles etc. That are embellished with tons of brass that’s super polished!  There are also house hold items that are hoarded and decorated, such as a modern computer that I came across that has been given a new ‘shell’ of brass and golden metal for that edgy look.
