Welcome to the world of Steam Punk





 Have you ever wondered living in a world that is entirely different from ours? In a world that Rocket Man existed, a world that you can see Zeppelin everywhere in the sky, steam and hot air surrounded the city and building painted in gold and brown, a world many described as "Steam Punk"


Steam Punk is actually a sub-genre of science fiction which features steam-powered machinery. and was set in the industrialized Western civilization during the 19th century. Steam Punk was first introduced in the film "Metropolis" directed by Fritz Lang dated back in 1927.

When we are talking about an entirely different world, we cannot leave out the difference in fashion, can we?  Well, the fashion in Steam Punk is mostly based on the dress code of the 19th century, where the man wears a top hat and a vest with a coat, but in Steam punk, they might add machinery items around their bodies and maybe add a pair of goggles and revolver.



some might even wears a mask
But what I can say is that Steam Punk has its unique style of fashion that is similar to the 19th century but at the same time very differently. Here's to show you if Napoleon was to be existed in the world of Steam Punk.



In the female category, it seems that ladies have a wider range of fashion, from one piece dresses that are very formal to shirts and pants.

Well, basically in Steam Punk, it's all about gears and robots. Its a very modernise world with the use of  bronze and metal. It emphasises a balance between the form and the function.







Ever wonder how will a world of stream punk looks like if you ever get a chance to live in?



Well, I for one would like to try to live in a world of steam punk for a day. I would like to ride on flying ships to see the golden sky during sun sets, seeing rocket man with their mask on flying freely in the sky , or trying out different gears and be part machine part human and having a cool revolver on my side waist. To me, steam punk is a very modernised technology created and designed in a very authentic way.

But, if the world of steam punk really do exists, mother nature will suffer greatly because of the smokes and carbon dioxide created by the industrial nature of steam punk, don't you think?
