Yeah it's not like it -has- to be that, it even says:

Styles are often borrowed from the Elizabethans and Victorians.
That doesn't mean it's the exact same style, more so the style ideas are borrowed then tweaked, to a more modern style.

Kind of like right now 60's Mod is trendy, but the 60's Mod we currently have isn't -exactly- the same as it was in the 60's. Basically it's the style tweaked.
