A week ago on November 2nd, the bellydancing group Read My Hips presented a runway style steampunk fashion show at the Subterranean nightclub in Chicago. The show featured music, dance, and cabaret acts by eight different performance groups and clothing and fashion by eighteen different fashion designers.

Performers included:
KSA
Read My Hips
Jack and Jinx
The Honey Buns
mARTa
Blue Cat Tribe

Designers included:
Stephanie Barto
Marquis DeSign
Dark Eye Design
UV Glowin’
NohWear
Under the Root
Kreatia

I’m quite impressed with the quality of the designs that were presented. Below are few highlights from the fashion show, photographed by Brian C. Janes of bcj. Photography.
