With its vintage nostalgia and romantic imagination,
steampunk style is a way to celebrate the past
as we move into a precarious future.

Friday fashion: steampunk Gaultier
Tophats and tails! Have you seen Jean-Paul Gaultier's Autumn/Winter 2012/13 haute couture collection? Take particular note of the men's corset at around four minutes into the video. Or at 07.20: are those stretch velvet leggings? Bring back the codpiece, I say. Naturally, the collection finishes with an amazing wedding dress based on a white Victorian-style tailcoat worn backwards. Enjoy!
