Come on you remember your little brother wearing his cape (a blue towel) and running around the house and yes the first Halloween costume you chose for yourself was Wonder Woman, including gold truth-telling lasso and all. (yes, she has some lame accessories but still better than Barbie)
From an early age we are fascinated with superheroes’ costumes their personally well-crafted merging of function, fashion, and fit. And actually fashionistas and superheroes have some things in common such as:
- the power of transformation
- knowing that clothes can help make or unmake a person’s identity, secret or not
- fashion as armor
- their appreciation and understanding for the perfect outfit
- embracing the power of good accessories
- shooting fire our of their eyes ….. ok only fashion editors can do that but still
There also exists an evolution in superheroes costumes, especially heroines’ costumes.
