The Metropolitan Museum of Art - Special Exhibitions: Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy
This exhibition will explore the symbolic and metaphorical associations between fashion and the superhero. Featuring movie costumes, avant-garde haute couture, and high-performance sportswear, it will reveal how the superhero serves as the ultimate metaphor for fashion and its ability to empower and transform the human body. Objects will be organized thematically around particular superheroes, whose movie costumes and superpowers will be catalysts for the discussion of key concepts of superheroism and their expression in fashion.
Opens in May. I am on it like white on rice. If they could only find a way to work in rock music, it would be everything I ever wanted. (Well, also if it was by Versace instead of Armani. Details--!)
