The Return of the Superhero May 5, 2008

Have you ever had the urge to dress up as Bat-Girl or Wonder Woman even if Halloween is over? Apparently you are not the only one…If the answer is yes, go check out the Superheroes exhibition opening on May 7, 2008 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They promise to please the eye and to explain why people go crazy about superhero fashion. And as the Museum’s website puts it: ‘ the superhero serves as the ultimate metaphor for fashion and its ability to empower and transform the human body’. That sounds lovely, doesn’t it? Just don’t start dressing up as a Super Gal all the time. It is only for special occasions…
