| There’s no wardrobe showstopper quite like quality leather. | |
 | Gryphon’s Peplum Jacket is a perfect combination of prim Victorian style and contemporary unstudied cool. |
 | I love the exaggerated racer back and belt on the Dallas Vest from Mike & Chris. This is definitely coming with me on my summer road trip through the Rockies. |
 | Newcomer to shopbop, Muxo’s Camila Hobo is completely unique and makes me feel like I’m best friends with some genius leather designer in Rio. |

First Fashion: Our Favorites from What's New

Steampunk Style
Between last week’s NYT article on steampunk trends and Christian Bale’s visit to shopbop’s hometown to film a movie, my weekend DVD rental was a no-brainer. I picked up The Prestige and soaked up every last Victorian, bustle-and-crinoline, Jules Verne-inspired moment of the film. Maybe it’s because the summer onslaught of superhero and futuristic action films has begun, but I crave the sepia-toned formality of the costumes and the smoke-and-mirrors vaudeville flair.
And I must be nearing obsession, because Victorian and steampunk styles are popping out at me from all corners of shopbop.
Gryphon’s ruffled, bustled Petti-Coat adds a brightly contrasting belt with an ornately molded buckle and Eugenia Kim’s twill Slouchy Newsboy Cap invites a jaunty angle and a sly sense of humor. Twenty8Twelve is a little more subtle with the embroidered Lottie Long Sleeve Top, reminding me of elaborate Victorian undergarments. Their Roantree Cover-up Tee tends to the other extreme, featuring a surreal boudoir graphic. Perhaps the most authentic is Thea Grant’s charmingly tarnished jewelry. Using vintage objects, Grant creates sweetly gothic necklaces, bracelets, and earrings.
For fall, Rag & Bone features military jackets, Derek Lam offers structured wool overcoats, and Sari Gueron gives crinoline a fashion-forward silhouette.
Obsessions beg indulgence, so if you’ll please excuse me, I’m going to go find my aviator goggles and finish reading Journey to the Center of the Earth.
