Fantasy meets Fashion at the Superheroes Gallery Exhibit at The Met

What: Special Exhibit at The Metropolitan Museum featuring Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy

The ideal exhibit for the fan of Superheroes and sophisticated glamorous fashion. More than just for viewing, this exhibition will explore the symbolic and metaphorical associations between fashion and the superhero. On display, will be 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.

The exhibition and its accompanying book are made possible by Giorgio Armani.

Additional support is provided by Condé Nast.
