Lady Lisa has compiled a beautiful hardbound book, published by Schiffer Publishing,
with her International Steampunk Fashions.
Talk about eye-candy!
Starting with its beautifully designed slip cover, the book feature
full-color photo spreads of men and women dressed in imaginative Steampunk
fashions complete with corsets, top hats, double-breasted coats, button shoes,
lace, leather, belts, brass, veils, velvet and cleverly designed chrome, brass,
glass accessories such as glasses, jewelry and odds and ends of mechanized body
parts and augmentations.
Put simply-this book is a load of fun to look through and
relish the images. Lush photos filled
with fine apparel modeled by Streampunk aficionados. I literally spent hours pouring over the book's
pages.
