A Tribute to Superheroes

Giorgio Armani will be presiding over a gala that will be doing a tribute to superheroes in the world of fashion.

According to FemaleFirst, Giorgio Armani announced that he will be heading the Gala Costume Institute with a superhero theme next year.

The annual event happens at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and will focus on the influence of superheroes in the fashion industry over the years.

Anna Wintour, as well as actors George Clooney and Julia Roberts, will be co-presidents of the ceremony entitled, Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy.

A source from the Costume Institute stated, "Today, superhero imagery has suffused almost every aspect of popular culture. The superhero’s iconic costume of cape, mask and bodysuit finds many fashionable permutations. But fashion’s embrace of the superhero extends beyond iconography to issues of identity, sexuality and nationalism."

The gala will be held on May 5 and will attract stars such as Kate Moss, Cameron Diaz, Helena Christensen and Naomi Campbell, who will be on the red carpet in superhero costumes.
