Challenge #04400-L016: Wind Me Up...

Why... are they putting all sorts of useless gears all over their equipment and some of them in their clothing?

Fashion, like those who follow it, is weird. So, too, are countercultures. Some originate with whatever the youth find cheap to obtain, later sold at inflated prices to those who admire the aesthetic. Some originate in whimsey, others in spite.

Some borrow fashions from prior eras and add flair. They do things that would be unheard of at the time, like wearing undergarments on the outside, and decorating them with bits and bobs along the way. For some reason, people loved wearing corsets on the exterior, using them as a basis for jewellery. Also using non-standard items for the aesthetic.

The Victorian era, the last age in which magic and science could co-exist, appealed to many. Mostly on the basis that a person didn't have to be thin to wear the clothing. Even the corsets, but especially the hats.
