So you love fashion and you also love comics. You want to head to Comic Con, but you don't want to dress as Princess Leia. What are you? A total geek? Well, maybe just a little since you have worn those Leia buns on an occasion or two. Rather than shop for a costume, let luxury fashion inspire your love for all things illustrated.
This wouldn't be the first time that the fashion world crossed over into the fiction of the comic books. In 2008, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City put the hero-influenced couture on exhibit with Superheros: Fashion and Fantasy. With pieces by the greats: John Galliano, Jean Paul Gaultier and Alexander McQueen, the display showed how very much fashion can come from the fantasy worlds of people whom mutated into animal hybrids due to a radio active mishap.
The video from the Met's curatorial talk is a bit slow moving, but it you're interested in the super-nerdy aspects then take a look.
