I don’t really know where this started…
I mean, I might have watched “Blade Runner” one to many times or maybe I’ve been collecting to many steampunk reference images in my files, but somehow I just thought that combining 1940’s and 1930’s noir film suits with platform heels and facial peircings seemed like a good idea.
Truth be told, I am rather pleased with the outcome. I figured out a way to do hats that “work” on magnetic paper dolls (who can not have things layered “behind” them very well”) and got to play with some of the diversity that might be possible from the Flock. I chose Starling to show off this style, because there was something about her little smirk/half smile with the hair style that I thought looked good.
So, I am quite pleased with the outcome.
One of the things I wanted to do with the Flock magnetic sets was make sure there was versatility. The pieces which “only” Starling can wear are on her page- the shoes and the hats with the hair attached. The pieces on the other page will fit any of the Flock magnetic dolls.
I think this style should be called “Noir Punk” as in “Steampunk” or I think it should be called “Punk Noir,” but I can’t really decide which one. Either way, you’ll find the downloads below. Let me know what you think in a comment.

Sweet! =D
Can’t wait to see what comes next for the Flock!
Very interesting combination of styles. I would have never thought about it but seeing it drawn I find it very nice.
I love it!
That’s adorable!
Thanks you guys. I was pretty nervous about the… oddness of it, but I’ve generally decided that whatever wacky ideas I come up with will have to have support from someone.
In the steampunk universe the 30s/40s inspired style is called Dieselpunk, but I like the term “Punk Noir”, it really suits the doll. It’s absolutely adorable, please come up with many more of your wacky ideas!
Thanks Tinz. I had no idea there was an “official” name, but I like Punk Noir better than Dieselpunk, too.
