It only comes along once a year, and last night the Costume Institute Gala was a sight to behold.  And Hilary Duff brought her fashion A-game to stand out amongst the beautiful people in elegant getups.

The “So Yesterday” singer was looking fine in a strapless silver beaded gown with matching clutch and earrings as she made her way into the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

And Duff was sporting another important accessory- arm candy.  Her hottie hockey player boyfriend Mike Comrie was dressed to kill in a classic black tuxedo.

The glamorous event was hosted by Vogue’s Anna Wintour, Balenciaga’s Nicholas Ghesquiere and Aussie actress Cate Blanchett.

Steampunk moves between 2 worlds

May 25th, 2008 by sandyjones

“Meet Showtime,” said Giovanni James, a musician, magician and inventor of sorts, introducing his prized dove, who occupies a spacious cage in James's apartment in Midtown Manhattan. Showtime is integral to James's magic act and to his décor, a sepia-tone universe straight out of the gaslight era.

The lead singer of a neovaudevillian performance troupe called the James Gang, James has assembled his universe from oddly assorted props and castoffs: a gramophone with a crank and velvet turntable, an old wooden icebox and a wardrobe rack made from brass pipes that were ballet bars in a previous incarnation.

Yes, he owns a flat-screen television, but he has modified it with a burlap frame. He uses an iPhone, but it is encased in burnished brass. Even his clothing — an unlikely fusion of current and neo-Edwardian pieces (polo shirt, gentleman's waistcoat, paisley bow tie), not unlike those he plans to sell this summer at his own New York haberdashery — is an expression of his keenly romantic worldview.

It is also the vision of steampunk, a subculture that is the aesthetic expression of a time-traveling fantasy world, one that embraces music, film, design and now fashion, all inspired by the extravagantly inventive age of dirigibles and steam locomotives, brass diving bells and jar-shaped protosubmarines. First appearing in the late 1980s and early '90s, steampunk has picked up momentum in recent months, making a transition from what used to be mainly a literary taste to a Web-propagated way of life.

To some, “steampunk” is a catchall term, a concept in search of a visual identity. “To me, it's essentially the intersection of technology and romance,” said Jake von Slatt, a designer in Boston and the proprietor of the Steampunk Workshop (steampunkworkshop.com), where he exhibits such curiosities as a computer furnished with LAZYTOWN dvd a brass-frame monitor and vintage typewriter keys.
