Fashion Superheroes. Comic Strips Feature Funky Fashions For Men & Women.



above: glasses and unitard by Bernhard Willhelm

The fabulous French online magazine and shopping site Prestigium, has an inventive series of flash interactive postcards that feature trendy and unusual fashions for men and women by some of the most irreverent designers of today.

Items by Viktor and Rolf, Bernhard Willhelm, Yves Saint Laurent, Af Vanderhorst, Anne Valerie Hash, Etro, Sinha Stanic, Alena Akhmadullina, Raf Simons, Lacoste, Marc Jacobs, Boris Bidjan Saberi, Martin Margiela, Balenciaga, Salvatore Ferragamo and Walter Van Beirendonck are nestled into comic book and graphic novel art.

The photos of the designer fashions are collaged into moving superhero art comic strip illustrations. It's not really easy to see the fashions, nor is that the point. The postcards, which you peruse by clicking on an arrow, have a lot of movement and move quickly, so I took screengrabs of them for you. Each "postcard" has little "click" pulldowns that mention the designers and describe the item (in French).

Clever Helmet Experiment By GOOD! Photoshopped Brain Buckets.




This fun experiment with helmet designs is really more of a photoshop feat. The Kazakhstan-based creative marketing and PR firm GOOD! wanted to try the synthesis of two different objects around one form.

Some are clever visual puns, others just play with texture and objects. Either way, they are a fun little project to peruse. Enjoy!
