The NeoVictoria community is intended to allow ladies and gentlemen of taste and culture to discuss NeoVictorian style, fashion, ideals, philosophies, art and fiction.

A Note to the Uninitiated Reader: Neovictorianism can be a style, combining Victorian elegance and ornamentation with the clean lines of modern styles and the reliability of modern technology. It can also be a mode of behavior, where one abides by Victorian standards of politeness without sacrificing modern attitudes towards gender, race and sexuality. It is an attempt to create elegance and lasting beauty in our very disposable modern era.
