Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy:
May 7, 2008–September 1, 2008
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.
This should be an interesting show considering the recent events between Anna Wintour and Giorgo Armani - they are are co-chairing the gala benefit. Meow. Anna v. Giorgio!
