Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy
May 7, 2008 - September 1, 2008
Special Exhibition Galleries, 1st floor
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

    The symbolic and metaphorical associations between fashion and the superhero are explored in this compelling exhibition. Featuring movie costumes, avant-garde haute couture, and high-performance sportswear, it reveals how the superhero serves as the ultimate metaphor for fashion and its ability to empower and transform the human body. Objects are organized thematically around particular superheroes, whose movie costumes and superpowers are 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.
