Comic-Book and Fashion

Something very strange is happening on Planet Fashion: comic-book style has made the leap from the printed page to the runway. Not quite in a single bound: there was that all important pitstop on the big screen. Hollywood's effect on fashion has long been important and of course these days the only big movies anyone will financ feature at least one latex-clad do-gooder poncing about in the sky, getting cars thrown at them by less-attactive nemeses for reason that don't make any kind of sense if you, like, go so far as trying to write them down but look awesome 3D. It was bound to make an impression sooner or later.

Speaking of comics megacorp, you might be interested to know that they do have a finger in the fashion pie, having recently sponsored a show by dynamic design duo Romance Was Born at Australia fashion week. The label had exclusive access to Marvel's archive, which they used to inspire their stunning S/S 13 collection. Schuh are exclusive stockists of a fine range of DC comic book kicks, including these Wonder Woman Converse Ox Iiis, and there's Balenciaga's 80s take on the comic book look.
