TODAY IN SUPERHEROES: Colette Goes Comical for DC's 75th

We have seen DC Comics' 75^th anniversary celebrated already at Bloomingdale's with a host of t-shirt and accessory collaborations, but Colette in Paris, a store that never saw a designer collaboration it didn't like, has taken things to another level with a group of superhero inspired items in a more luxe vein than one can expect to find at your local comics shop.

Among the more rarefied items are a Lanvin Batman dog t-shirt (Ace the Bat-hound?), Catwoman boots from Roger Vivier (Kind of a no-brainer, really), and, most amusingly, the iconic white gloves of the Green Lantern re-interpreted by Karl Lagerfeld in his signature fingerless fashion with an oversized green crystal "Power Ring" affixed to the right middle finger.

We're not entirely sure that anyone shopping for presumably expensive gloves at Colette will remotely recognize the superhero reference (at least not before the Green Lantern movie currently filming comes out next year), but then, one should never underestimate the power of the Green Lantern.

The collection will be launched Monday, May 31^st.
