LOVE…

a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker.

Steampunk

I love the whole steampunk trend, the enchanting victorian era clothing, mashed up with cyber punk, trunk boxs, lace, leather, belts, buckels, gears, cogs,  goggles,  pocket watches,  brass,  copper,trains,  steam of coarse,  machinery of the industrial revolution…this trend has been going for some time now, but never quite made it to Australia so here’s a collection of steampunk designs I’ve found.

Have a look at Kato’s online portfolio, she’s a fashion designer, illustrator, & seamstress…
