On 9.09.09 Focus Features premiered “9” the movie, an animated sci-fi/action film directed by Shane Acker and produced by Mr. Tim Burton himself. The film takes place during a period of economic decline and the government of a totalitarian state commissions scientists to research ways for the nation to prosper. A scientist creates machines to solve the country’s problems but end up snapping under pressure and turning on humanity. During this time, that same scientist creates a mysterious talisman and a set of nine numbered ragdoll-like “stitchpunks,” hoping they will preserve humanity’s legacy and allow life to continue. The film’s aesthetic is simply fantastic in a dark, industrial, “steampunk” kind-a-way and has inspired today’s Next Big Thing. Plus we just love introducing you to up-and-coming designers!
YMI’s Destroyed Black Skinny Jeans are super tough looking and start the look off perfectly.
Sandmaiden’s charcoal colored circular wrap with black frog closures certainly fits the theme and is still super feminine. This busy mom wants to share the magical comfy-ness of loungewear that’s so stylish it can be worn anywhere! Nicely done.
What could be more steampunk than this vintage partial watch movement with an adorable skull and cross bones made by The Steampunk Trunk? The gal behind these Victorian fashions was totally made to live the steampunk life. She’s a wife and mom of 3 who runs the Trunk as a one woman show AND she is awesome enough to share her love of vintage with us!
Now, you must have something to store all of your old-timey gadgets and gears in (or just your digi-cam), so we bring to you this mini art quilt wristlet clutch (say that 10 times fast!) from Louisiana artist, Ivan and Lucy. The sand colored clutch features vintage art pieces, buttons, Czech alphabet beads and imported Japanese fabrics. When all these elements combine you have an awesome display of creativity and fashion!
Now that you’re dressed to absolute steampunk perfection – check out the trailer for Focus Features, “9” the movie and sport your new look to the theater!
