Guess who was at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's new exhibit: "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy" (Hint: his initials are TW). The exhibit features three types of superhero costumes on display. First, there are original superhero costumes that were worn by actors in the major superhero movies — Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, Iron Man, Catwoman (from Batman Returns, not Catwoman), and Mystique.
The "real" superhero costumes are juxtaposerd with fantastical outfits put together by today's hot designers, including Versace, Armani, Docle & Gabbana, and John Galliano. Finally, the curators included some contemporary sportswear that has clearly been influenced by superhero costume designs.
The exhibit runs from May 7 to September 1.
