About the history of Steampunk Fashion

"Historically, this period [The industrial revolution] saw the development of many key aspects of the modern world (mechanized manufacturing, extensive urbanization, telecommunications, office life and mass-transit), and steampunk uses this existing technology and structure to imagine an even more advanced 19th century, often complete with Victorian-inspired wonders like steam-powered aircraft and mechanical computers."

"Steampunk fashion is a branch of the steampunk genre that endeavors to reproduce in real life the sort of clothing and imagery found in the genre's literature.  This fashion trend has recently grown into a phenomenon, inspiring countless enthusiasts to make or assemble their own steampunk outfits."
