  From Wonder Woman's satin stars and golden bracelets to Batman's brooding cape and mask, the style of superheroes' dress has influenced both street wear and high fashion. This book explores how radical couture, avant-garde sportswear, and military garments - as seen through the lens of the superhero - can be metaphors for sex, power and politics.
