But let me tell ya, Superheores: Fashion and Fantasy is superb.
I went this morning to take a look and I stayed there for more than an hour! The fact that they chose such a not-so-random subject is what makes this exhibition so special.
The link between fashion and comics' characters is very interesting and to see the real costumes from movies like Spiderman or Iron Man is quite something. I couldn't take my eyes off the cat-suit that Syren Couture created for Catwoman /Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman! Or the aerodynamic suits from Speedo or Nike. Or the creations of Hussein Chalayan, Gareth Pugh, Balenciaga... It's worth it.

I LOVED it. Bought the catalouge and the history of wonder woman...
Just read an article in the New Yorker - "Unitard Theory" . . . dealing with (possibly impossible) costumes
Secret Skin

I feel like I missed something! All these bloggers seemed to love it, but I thought it was SO lacking and almost seemed like a hurried grad school thesis project. To me, there was no real connection... it was such a forced thing. But the catwoman dresses were awesome.
I'm dying to see it! The Met has amazing looking exhibits at the moment...
