From capes to leggings, and masks to cuffs, the style of the superhero has influenced fashion with its exaggerated wham!, bam!, kazaam! costumes.
On May 7th through September 1st, 2008, fashion's heroines will unite at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in Gotham City (New York City) for an exhibition, which will display the abstract similarities between fashion and the superhero. With the assistance of movie costumes, haute couture and high performance sportswear the exhibit will express fashion's power to empower and transform.
Indeed, there is a Catwoman impression when I slip into black, leather Rag & Bone leggings. And in a flash I can withhold my true identity in super enlarged Chanel sunglasses. This look is all about finding the power within, while strutting flying down your own metropolitan streets.
Here are a few superhero staples:
Tiffany & Company gold cuff bracelet. Wear one on each arm and instantly transform into Wonderwoman!
Rag & Bone leather leggings, add black leather gloves for a dramatic superhero look.
Andre Leon Talley stands chic in his dramatic cape.
Oversized Gucci sunglassess will do a fabulous job "masking" your true identity.
1. think the look is "HOT"! I'm sure it will get rave revues at the "Metropolitan Museum of Art" exhibition.
I hope in the future, that there will be a line out for women to buy at the boutique stores. I think it would be fun, dressing up as "Cat Women" for the fun of it or for special occasions to dress up for my boyfriend!
