The Wonderful World of Steampunk Fashion
By Martin Prince | June 2021 Back in the 19th century, what did people think life in the 21st century would be like? Maybe they thought steam would power everything—from computers to large flying machines. What would their 19th century clothes look like with the future's "high-tech" accessories? What I'm describing is "steampunk." Steampunk answers the question: What if the imagined future of 19th century people came true? Steampunk is very popular in movies and novels, but the idea also exists outside those areas. Today, artists and designers use the ideas of steampunk to create amazing designs and clothes. "When you wear steampunk fashion you are wearing the dreams of past people," says Gillian Grey. (Grey is the owner of Full Steam Ahead—a popular steampunk fashion store.) "Therefore, steampunk fashion often gives people a strange but wonderful feeling." Each year, Grey holds a steampunk fashion show on the street outside her store. This year, seven of Gillian's favorite steampunk designers are joining the show. Do you want to know what kinds of people create steampunk fashion?

蒸氣龐克時尚的奇妙世界
馬丁•普林斯 撰 | 2021年 6月 回到 19 世紀，當時的人是如何想像 21 世紀的生活呢？也許他們會以為蒸氣可以做為一切的動力來源──從電腦到大型飛行器都是如此。而 19 世紀的服飾搭配未來「高科技」配件，又會是什麼樣子呢？我現在描述的風格就是「蒸氣龐克」。 而「蒸氣龐克」能為以下問題解答：「如果 19 世紀人所想像的未來成真呢？」雖然電影和小說常出現蒸氣龐克風格，但這樣的概念同樣存在於其他領域。如今，藝術家與設計師運用蒸氣龐克的概念，來創造令人驚艷的設計與服飾。 吉莉安•格雷表示：「穿上蒸氣龐克風的時尚服飾，等於穿上古人的夢想。因此，蒸氣龐克時尚常給人一種奇怪又奇妙的感受。」（格雷是熱門蒸氣龐克時裝店「全氣衝刺」的店長。）格雷每年都會在店門口的街道上，舉辦蒸氣龐克時裝展。今年的秀展有吉莉安最喜愛的七名蒸氣龐克設計師共襄盛舉。 你想知道蒸氣龐克時尚是由哪些族群所創嗎？你想知道他們運用哪些工具和材料嗎？請翻到下頁一睹為快！ |
