It has been hard not to notice all of the extra buzz lately around super hereos, almost all the major fashion publications have done an editorial playing with the concept of superheroes. Our long awaited return of Heroes, the tv show, is about to grace us when it re-airs this month, and comic pop-art is very strong flashback of the moment.

To honor the social and political realities that our super heroes have posed for us, The Metropolitan Museum of Art has just launched an exhibition entitled, Superheroes : Fashion and Fantasy. Head over to that link to read the Synopsis of the exhibition which will be up until September 1st.
