With White Mischief so heavily inspired by Jules Verne (our November 10 2007 show was entitled “From The Earth To The Moon” and our June 7 2008 show is “Around The World In 80 Days”), the steampunk aesthetic is one of the dressing-up themes we encourage. (Line-up for June 7 show; details on tickets and group discounts.)

Check after the jump for a magnificent collection of images taken from the last White Mischief show… thank the photographers and congratulate the Mischief-Makers who dressed up in such formidable outfits. We recommend Prangsta as a place from which to hire your steampunk outfit, but our guide to London’s best vintage clothing emporiums and costume rental locations offers many more suggestions.

Steampunk is all about imagining the future as it might have been had the silicon chip never been invented. All the optimism of the Industrial Revolution, of the Victorian Empire, of the Age of Steam, propelling us around the world with magnificent steamships and airships, with our goggles polished and neo-Victorian uniforms worn by space pirates and sky captains. Read on to see how partygoers at the last White Mischief looked.
