Old time newspaper prints on fabrics and leathers seem to be becoming more popular. Steampunk clothier Clockwork Couture describes their Time Traveler’s Corset, a nice example of the style, as follows: “Headlines from the newspapers chronicling the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, Man’s first walk on the moon, the sinking of the Titanic and more featured on this newsprint fabric corset. It’s as if you had pieced together headlines from each era traveled and put in on a beautiful waist cinching piece of art. Our exclusive design is a Clockwork Original, created by our very own team and available nowhere else. Red dupioni silk trims this corset with brocade trimmed pocket, perfect for a pocketwatch. Authentic Victorian skeleton key is carefully and sturdily placed on the side.”
