Wave-Gotik-Treffen is “one of the largest events of the gothic, cybergoth, steampunk, and rivethead subcultures worldwide”. It started yesterday and is running through this weekend in Germany.

The Victorian Picnic started as "an opportunity for attendees to dress in elaborate Victorian-era-inspired clothing. Participants would gather to socialize, showcase their outfits, and enjoy a leisurely afternoon reminiscent of the Victorian era." Over the years, people started wearing more goth-, fantasy-, and steampunk-inspired outfits.

The following are in German but automated translators work pretty well:

I hear ya. I especially gotta take a look at Iola Velegem's archive of photos, especially for the Victorian period-era clothes, I'm trying to come up with some businesslike outfits in case I need to go back in the office a lot.
