Super Heros...In Vogue

I am not ashamed to admit I am the first one to start running to the theater as soon as a new Spider Man movie is released. Although I was only a comic book fan of the Archie series, and still get a little nostalgic when I see them at the check out stands at grocery stores, I never really revealed in the Marvel fantasies.

However, ironically, as I became more of an "adult" I started to look for something more to remove me from the ins and outs of my everyday routine. I am still not a comic book fan, but I love comic book movies. Being able to fly, be invisible, the battle against good and evil, always a good time. An now it seems as though the fashion world is starting to take notice as well.

In the new issue of Vogue, the magazine does a spread mimicing classic super heroes with haute coutoure. I LOVE IT! Of course haute coutoure isn't practically for your Friday night at the bar, Vogue makes it both simultaneously whimsical and strong. I'm guessing the spread is in large part due in conjunction with their cover girl, Gwyneth Paltrow, being the leading lady in this summer's Iron Man.

What do you think? High fashion or hideous?
