Comics Inspire a Sense of Style

Your favorite childhood comic strips and cartoons have already been brought to life by way of the big screen in recent and upcoming movies like X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Watchmen and Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen. Film has revived the story lines once found between the flimsy paper booklets with big budget special effects, A – list actors and on-point costume designers. With each film raking in the blockbuster ticket sales, is it any surprise that designers are looking to cash in as well? These super heroes and villains are inspiring an up roar in pop culture and urban fashion. Borrowing from the vibrant colors and quick moving lines of classic comic book artwork, this trend translates best, from apparel to accessories, when sophisticated and inspired. So you’ll want to toss the superman logo tees in the donate bin this season.
