About Me
- Fabronte
- -fABIANA bRONTE- (Trish Frances Jardine) is a NZ-based experienced and influential fashion creative. Pioneering steampunk, fashion and accessories designer based in New Zealand, influential fashion journalist, commentator, ideas initiator, avant garde artistic designer, stylist, creative director, photographer, blogger. In 2009 I was initiator, co-producer, artistic director and marketer of "STEAMIN' 2010: TAKE FLIGHT BY GASLIGHT", billed first in February 2010 as "New Zealand's first dedicated steampunk fashion show" (term later copied by an Oamaru-based group), which had been timed for Sept 4 2010, but was the day of the first big recent Christchurch earthquake. I set up Oamaru's, and one of the world's first, steampunk fashion businesses, in Oamaru in 2006 based on years of my design work, was the creator of New Zealand's first ever active steampunk Internet pages, in 2009 on Facebook - "STEAMPUNK NEW ZEALAND" (now called STEAMPUNKZ NEW ZEALAND as a group set up by others later called theirs by the same name! - imitation is flattery!) and "STEAMPUNKZ NZ" - in mid-2009. Obsessed with Victorian style since childhood, and with evolving it in contemporary terms.
