Clockwork Butterfly

Garments for the discerning Neo-Victorian

Exhibition Steamscape: A participant of the 2012 L’Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival Cultural Program 3rd – 25th March.

Steampunk is a movement that is best described as “victorian Science Fiction”. A rebellion against the mass production found in today’s consumer goods, it concentrates on individually crafted items that reflect the classical aesthetics of the late 19th century, with a twist of dynamic industrial influences and an often whimsical sense of fun.

The exhibition will feature the exquisite, timeless clothing creations of Clockwork Butterfly partnered with Jos Van Hulsens’s fantastical scupltural creations.

Post Industrial Design, 638 Barkly Street, West Footscray 3012.
