Did anyone else watch the Victoria's Secret fashion show last night? I noticed there were some definite steampunk influences in some pieces. For example, the bustle skirts and clock gear wings..

Well, her wings may be steampunk-ish, but her undergarments certainly are not...

Not steampunk at all because ladies should not be showing themselves like that +gasp+.
All kidding aside though, the undergarments completely kill the look. That doesn't even match with the wings. The wings would be fine without the ivy and maybe different undergarments... THAT ARE NOT BLACK.... Because I'm tired of steampunk and black clothing constantly being paired in main stream society.

If they were selling those wings, I'd buy the hell out of them.

Booo! Slapping brown wings on a completely unrelated undergarment isn't steampunk. Even if they weren't going for steampunk they could have atleast made her "outfit" match. Try again Victoria's Secret.

Actually steampunk usually only deals with Victorian Aesthetics, not the morals, so being scanitly clad can still be considered steampunk.

And nto all steampunk clothing is brown. I think that black is a nice neutral color for almost any style. It's close minded to think tha stemapunk is only brown and steampunk is about being open minded.

Also, they're advertsing MODERN undergarments. As much as any money here can say we love corsets, we all prefer to wear a normal brassiere for comfort. I dont' see how pairing modern undergarments with the aesthetics of the fictional Victorian age isn't steampunk.
