Аннотация:
'Superheroes Fashion and Fantasy' examines the influence on fashion of the costumes of superheroes such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Captain America and Spider-Man, as represented in comic books, film and television. Superman's blue unitard, flowing red cape and distinctive 'S' emblem, Batmans's black cape and bat cowl, The flash's red suit with gold lightening bolt,, Wonder Woman's red bustier and star-spangled shorts, not only proclaimed their amazing powers, but they also provoked new designs in avant-garde haute couture, ready-to-wear, and high performance sportswear. This book is an accompanying catalogue to the exhibition.
