it is indeed a form of fashion that has taken hold with a younger generation.
But - I have to say, and this is my own personal opinion (which amounts to nothing) - I think that the ultimate defination of dressing sexy is to excentuate one thing at a time. The sensual beauty of the victorian-edwardian riding habit was its perfect fit and difination of a womans beautiful shape. This young lady is undoubtly a natural beauty, so I am glad she seems to be armed with a whip and a knife!
Steampunk tends to run the gauntlet of being innocent and whimsical to flirty to elegant to saloon girl to Victorian S&M with cogs involved...
