Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy at The Metropolitan Museum of Art




Now through September 1, 2008, the Metropolitan Museum of Art is hosting a special exhibit titled Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy. The symbolic and metaphorical associations between fashion and the superhero are explored in this compelling exhibition. Featuring movie costumes, avant-garde haute couture, and high-performance sportswear, it reveals how the superhero serves as the ultimate metaphor for fashion and its ability to empower and transform the human body. Objects are organized thematically around particular superheroes, whose movie costumes and superpowers are catalysts for the discussion of key concepts of superheroism and their expression in fashion.
