Outland Armour & Steampunk Fashion
Last year at Anime Weekend Atlanta I ran into the most delightful group of talented individuals. I must say, I’ve always been fascinated with the steam punk aesthetic but I’ve found trying to find people who practice this very unique form of costume design is quite difficult indeed. However, during Anime Weekend Atlanta I had the pleasure of speaking with a representative from Outland Armour and after exchanging cards the rest is basically history. After a number of months of planning, I was able to arrange to meet with them at one of my commonly used locations.
It was a very cold and cloudy afternoon, but I’m still quite pleased with all the results.
Ama was the first lovely lady that really caught my eye. I know it’s more silly then anything else but I’ve always had a fondness for wings and to see them realized in a steampunk fashion, I must say I was sold completely. The technical bits that I learned after the fact was that the wings aren’t intended for flight at all. They are actually transmission devices.
Where do you even begin with Laurilye? She was the stoic leader of this rag-tag bunch of intellectuals on this adventure. Frightfully prepared for any situation, she was easily prepared to overcome any obstacle be it a complicated machine or an army.
One other very special member of the team was Mariela. Quick to smile and able to resolve nearly all of the electrical problems she was quite suited to be the lead electrician and Tesla engineer for the crew. Her willingness to climb every wall if only to see the other side was quite inspirational.
One of the most important members of this crew not to be left from this adventure was Pandora. She was the navigator for the crew.
