Miss Hilde Heyvaert is one of the most prolific contributors to both our SMOKING LOUNGE community as well as the Gatehouse Gazette, yet, for no good reason at all, we never quite featured her excellent fashion and costume design here! We hope to make up for that today.
Hilde maintains an independent designer identity, called House of Secrets Incorporated, with lots of outstanding creations on display there. Be sure to also check out her Photostream at flickr where she often posts new outifts!

Good idea, Ottens. It only makes sense to feature Hikdekitten here, given the number and quality of steampunk fashion pieces she has created. Congratulations, Hilde!
