The Metropolitan Museum of Art is hosting:
Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy
Here's a brief quote from this article about it:"The exhibition, in the Museum's first-floor special exhibition galleries, will include movie costumes as well as radical fashions that literally and figuratively reference superhero iconography, including Bernhard Willhelm's 2006 royal blue dress emblazoned with Superman's red-and-yellow "S-shield," a 1996 Walter van Beirendonck pink vinyl inflatable jacket, and a Thierry Mugler motorcycle bustier with polychrome handlebars and side-view mirrors. A long leather Balenciaga jacket with articulated bronze leggings evokes Iron Man's metallic skin, while a Jean Paul Gaultier second-skin bodysuit shares The Flash's streamlined aerodynamics."

You know outside of the whole realm of costumes, I had never really thought much about fashion and fantasy but it is really everywhere. From the Superman S to Tinkerbell everything (shirts, purses, bracelets)and even little girls dresses up as their favorite fairy tale princesses. This is a cool way of looking at it!
