I'm really loving the catwalk back in 2009. The Metropolitan Museum of Art illustrated this connection with their "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy" exhibit, in which Dior did Wonder Woman, Mugler did Catwoman and McQueen channeled X-Men. And despite the ongoing recession and general spirit of doom and gloom pervading fashion week this time around, we couldn't help but spot a few fantastical superhero themes in the mix. Whether it was Darth Vader invading Rick Owens or Nite Owl at Nina Ricci, these designers really stuck out in making clothes that still fuel our wildest dreams. Hey, who ever said fashion can't save the world?
