Yes, the gowns in the shoot went for a plane ride. The dreamy train you see in the background was built from scratch by Vicky and Harry, the designer and stylist. Scroll down for a closer look at the props and some candid shots of the models working really hard.<\/p><div class=\"banner\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">OA_show(5);<\/script><\/div><p>Steampunk is science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, horror, and speculative fiction all rolled into a mysterious genre. It is set in a scene where steam power is widely used, and it could be anywhere you imagine it could be, whether in Victorian England or American Wild Wild West, or even in a post-apocalyptic time if you like. If you love the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or the contemporary authors Philip Pullman, Scott Westerfeld and China Mieville, you are most likely a fan of steampunk.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"BTS Dreamscapes in Steampunk\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/BTS-1-e1339311839368.jpg\"\/><i class=\"special\">Vicky, the set designer, designed, painted and shaded the train all by herself. Look at the details of the finished train &#8211; she earns a big A* for effort.<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"BTS Dreamscapes in Steampunk\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/BTS-2-e1339311872369.jpg\"\/><i class=\"special\">Models Alina (left) and Daria (right) getting ready for their first shots by hair stylist Nic and make up artist Sammi.<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"BTS Dreamscapes in Steampunk\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/BTS-3-e1339311892299.jpg\"\/><i class=\"special\">Alina and Daria listening to instructions from photographer Ukay.<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"BTS Dreamscapes in Steampunk\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/BTS-3a-e1339311915430.jpg\"\/><i class=\"special\">Picking out the good shots from the many that were taken.<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"BTS Dreamscapes in Steampunk\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/BTS-4-e1339311948504.jpg\"\/><i class=\"special\">Ukay adjusting Daria&#8217;s feet. Every single detail affects how a photo turns out on the screen &#8211; the correct angle of a poised foot, the way the curls of hair on the model falls.<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"BTS Dreamscapes in Steampunk\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/BTS-5-e1339311978122.jpg\"\/><p>Even when the models are already in position and some shots have been taken, hair and make up has to be constantly adjusted and touched up so that the perfect shot can be achieved. Sometimes, we get that perfect shot on the first click, and sometimes, it can take an hour and many photos later.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"BTS Dreamscapes in Steampunk\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/BTS-6-e1339312001105.jpg\"\/><i class=\"special\">What models do when they&#8217;re not required for the shot &#8211; bundling themselves up for a quick break and making funny faces. And still looking picture-perfect.<\/i><p>The headpieces, hats and props seen in the editorial are handmade and one-of-a-kind. If you&#8217;re a fan of steampunk, you will love the little pieces that went into creating the look.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"BTS Dreamscapes in Steampunk\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/BTS-6a-e1339312026313.jpg\"\/><i class=\"special\">A small umbrella frame, filigree butterflies and springs.

For the model&#8217;s safety, we decided not to let it heat up. But just imagine what it could have been!<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"BTS Dreamscapes in Steampunk\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/BTS-8-e1339312068952.jpg\"\/><i class=\"special\">Monocles, lockets, vintage keys and of course, a pocket watch.

Eerie but extremely effective.<\/i><p>The set up for this shoot took about two days and tearing it all down took less than two hours. It was a shame to see the set go, especially knowing how much time went into the conceptualising and designing, and the putting together of the pink train and backdrop. However, we worked with a great team, and I&#8217;m sure I speak for all of us when I say we had real fun shooting this editorial. I hope you loved it as much as we did.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"BTS Dreamscapes in Steampunk\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/BTS-10.jpg\"\/><p class=\"special\"><b>Editor: <\/b>Michelle Tay<br><b>Photography: <\/b>Ukay Cheung<br><b>Assistants: <\/b>Curtiss Li \/ Gaffer, Chi Sing \/ Grip, Max Ho<br><b>Stylist: <\/b>Harry Lam<br><b>Set and Prop Design: <\/b>Vicky Chow<br><b>Hair: <\/b>Nic Leung, Chin.G<br><b>Make Up: <\/b>Sammi, Mod Makeup Academy<br><b>Models: <\/b>Alina R \/ Starz People, Daria P \/ Mission Models Management<br><b>Gowns: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/featured\/bridal_boutiques\/jawn_happy_ever_after\">Jawn Happy.Ever.After<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/featured\/bridal_boutiques\/lavie_bridal_couture\">LaVie Bridal Couture<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/featured\/bridal_boutiques\/the_wedding_present\">The Wedding Present<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/featured\/bridal_boutiques\/whitelink\">WhiteLink<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Love our June fashion editorial &#8220;Dreamscapes in Steampunk&#8221;?
