Alexander McQueen - Unintentional Steam?
The latest "resort" collection from the late great Alexander McQueen's fashion house looks decidedly steamy to me:
The Edwardian lines, the brass embellishments, the thick buckle-corset-belts.. what's not to like?
Of course this is well out of the budget of most people, and even if I did have the cash these sorts of establishments do not cater to someone of my generous stature.. but a girl can dream!
I am very much looking forward to these design elements filtering down to the cheaper stores.
One thing I really want to know is.. what sort of resort would these outfits be suitable "resort wear" for? Gorgeous as they are I can't exactly see someone lounging by the pool in these getups.. what do you think?
More steamy menswear..
I share something steamy, sexy and pretty...

A couple of glimpses:

Designer to Watch: Marko Mitanovski
Here's a designer from Belgradfe that's worth keeping an eye on, for inspiration if nothing more..
A lot of these outfits are very, very over the top, but I think they have a really interesting neovictorian (or perhaps neotudor) air about them.
Have a look and let me know what you think in the comments:

Steamy Men in Steamy Menswear...
Living with a couple of hot steamy men, I feel I'm qualified to call them when I see them.. here's some good looking gentlemen that have caught my eye recently..
Here's renowed rapscallion Tom Forde - he's a fashion designer with his own menswear line, and it shows:
Go forth and Be Steamy!

This beautiful, beautiful boy is called Bartek - he's polish, he's a model.. and I really love this kind of "steppe warrior" look they've got going on here. This is a nice example of how accessories can really elevate an outfit from everyday to extraordinary ..
Rick Owens is just as stylish as his amazing menswear lines.. I feel as though a lot of his clothing would be right at home in a steampunk gentlemen's wardrobe..
The man..
The clothes:
One more designer worth watching, Anne Demeulemeester:
And because attitude really *is* everything when it comes to fashion, one final image to put you in the right frame of mind:
Go forth and Be Steamy!
