Steam Punk and Gothic Fashion

[VENROXAS 152]

I have been verry intrested in steampunk and some of the gothic fashion recently

About Steampunk

Steampunk fashion has no set guidelines, but tends to synthesize modern styles influenced by the Victorian era. This may include gowns, corsets, petticoats and bustles; suits with vests, coats and spats; or military-inspired garments. Steampunk-influenced outfits will often be accented with a mixture of technological and period accessories: timepieces, parasols, goggles, and ray guns. Modern accessories like cell phones or music players can be found in steampunk outfits, after being modified to give them the appearance of Victorian-made objects. Aspects of steampunk fashion have been anticipated by mainstream high fashion, the Lolita fashion and aristocrat styles, neo-Victorianism, and the romantic goth subculture.[6][14][49] Steampunk became a common descriptor for homemade objects on the craft network Etsy between 2009 and 2011, though many of the objects and fashions bear little resemblance to steampunk as described on this page, and so may not strike observers as sufficiently steampunk to warrant the moniker.

About the Gothic style

Goth fashion is stereotyped as a dark, sometimes morbid, eroticized fashion and style of dress. Typical gothic fashion includes dyed black hair, dark eyeliner, black fingernails, black period-styled clothing; goths may or may not have piercings. Styles are often borrowed from the Elizabethan, Victorian or medieval period and often express pagan, occult or other religious imagery such as pentacles or ankhs.[11][12] The extent to which goths hold to this style varies amongst individuals as well as geographical locality, though virtually all goths wear some of these elements. Fashion designers, such as Alexander McQueen and John Galliano, have also been described as practicing "Haute Goth".[3] Goth fashion is often confused with Heavy Metal fashion and Emo fashion:[13] outsiders often mistake fans of heavy metal for goth, particularly those who wear black trench coats or wear "corpse paint" (a term associated with the black metal music scene).

I simply love Steampunk lolita and aspects of Gothic lolita

Gothic is traced down to Victorian ages, so to be gothic, you must also look Victorian. I don't believe it looks good to have piercings and call it Gothic because I don't believe piercings go with the true Gothic fashion as well as black hair. I've seen some beautiful Goths with platinum blonde hair.

Steampunk is something VERY difficult to pull off because you can't simply throw any sort of Steampunk like accessories and clothes together. I met a girl who spend 6 months to make one steampunk outfit. And even if it's simple it's still very precise. See look

there is a major difference between this

and this

 

both are steampunk but you can tell which put more effort and in the end the first picture looks more steampunk overall.

 

Gothic is easier, I imagine it involves a lot of long coats, gloves, top hats, and just very classic looking dark things.

 

But in the end

I'd never attempt to dress in these

Gothic is too dark for my tastes and Steampunk is a lot of time and money
