A Friday Fashion Passion: Steampunk

The Steampunk Trend has been building such momentum for some time now. This vintage-modern abstract style garners the marriage between beautiful and sleek with a  mechanical-industrial flare, bordering at times on “trashy” if done wrong. It’s a style of opposites meshing to make a fantastical smash to fashion.

I am so drawn to this ultra creative Steampunk trend, yet I’m not sure what to do with it in my every day life. I want it, but how? As a photographer and creative in general, I find myself meandering (ahem, wasting time) perusing all the steampunk crazed Pinterest boards dreaming up excuses to bring some Steampunk in to my life.

What I love about this fun trend is that you can incorporate it in to anything! Visually it’s super appealing, so applying it to some of your home decor is easy and simple and is almost an edgy version of “rustic” trends. Jewelry is easy to incorporate in to your every day style. And if you’re really looking to make an impression host a Gatsby themed party. I am loving the beautiful dresses adorned in metals for weddings completely decked out in steampunk.

Steampunk takes on a modern twist to historic trends, like the medieval age collided with an industrial era.  Do you love this trend? Is it too gimmicky for you?
