Superheroes Invade The Met
Our readers who live in or near New York take note, a special exhibit at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art on super-heroic style and it's effect on fashion has just started.
Each hero or heroine is used to represent a different body archetype. The character and their costume are featured in the display, counterpointed with the examples of fashion inspired by the character and their look.
These exhibits include original costumes from various films and TV shows featuring these heroes over the years, and the lobby contains this stunning statue of the the big three themselves, worthy of placement in front of any Hall of Justice.
You can check out more images and a full write-up over at Newsarama, and you can see the exhibit at the met until Sept. 1st.
