I just love the whole idea and the amazing design used, the goggles shown here are great, but I thinks its really cool having a complete costume, very MadMax.

The World of Steampunk: Goggles, Gaiters & Glory
There are two main kinds of steampunk. The first, which shall be called here, traditional steampunk, envisions a future as the Victorians imagined it. The writings of H.G. Wells and Jules Verne are good examples. The second, industrial steampunk, sees a far future world that harkens back to Victorian culture, for example a bustle dress made of kevlar. There are also other temporal options like clockpunk (c. 1500s) and dieselpunk (WWII).

I love all this steampunk stuff, but I fear I am a little long in the tooth to actually wear it!
Sorry I missed your recent visit to London; hope to catch up with you next time!
I wouln't wear it, but I love the laptops and bits made from mahogany and brass!
Love these images, great work! I posted it on my blog (giving your name and linking your blog) along with a general write-up about steampunk - I hope you are okay with this. If not, let me know! They are very gorgeous photos.
