The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a wonderful exhibit now thru September 1st. I think everyone will enjoy it as all of us in many ways can identify with it.   Met - Superheroes exhibit

Beginning in 1938 with the first appearance of Superman we have been exposed to Superheroes and their costumes. I personally have been aware of many superheroes as when Steven was very young he dressed up as superman. Then when Meg and Steven had Sam and Charlie we lived thru Superman, Spider-Man, Batman to name a few. Recently we saw the movie "Iron Man" and  I remember looking at the exhibit saying that is the outfit Robert Downey wore in the movie and thinking the very same thing when I saw Tobey Maquire’s costume from Spider-Man 3.

In addition they have costumes designed by many outstanding designers shown at the exhibit. Fashion has embraced and responded to what the Superhero represents–the fashionable body and the superhero body come together.

To me this reiterates what I have always felt about our business–the fashion industry. To be a success in it you must know history, economics, art and even mathematics to name a few.  - Dorothy
