Note: The use of Bakelite crib toys for fashion jewelry. A new form of Bakelite called Catalin was introduced in 1929, featuring a beautiful range of colors and creating an unbelievably cute aesthetic for these children's objects. Gone were the old-fashioned silver and ivory teething rattles of the Victorian age. In the early 1930s, children had brightly colored plastic crib toys which were safe and indestructible. The condition of many of them today attests to that. In the United States, one of the most popular manufacturers was Tykie Toys of Piqua, Ohio, which was in business until the late 1940s. Their designs included a range of little doll characters. Other crib toys designed included bell boys, sailors, soldiers, and black American or African-inspired characters. There was a huge fascination for anything exotic and people from far away, and the craze for jazz meant that black musicians were trendy at the time. New York designer Jan Carlin made stunning Bakelite jewelry out of old pieces in the 1970s. She has made many quirky brooches...Category

The fashion is designed with a post-apocalyptic era in mind. Steampunk fashion encompasses clothing, hairstyling, jewelry, body modification, and make-up.
