The month of March is known as Women's History Month in the United States. It predates back to the early 1900's to honor and celebrate all the great things that women have done for us. Since I'm  excited for the upcoming Avengers movie and harbor a super nerdy heart for all things comics, I thought it would be a fun idea to take a look back at the stylistic influences of some of the major super heroine and vixens of the Marvel and DC universe. As a young lass, I always imagined how it would feel to save the day in polyester jumpsuits and capes!

One of the best parts about the Fashion Week season is getting to see the artisanal shows. Artisanal fashion shows construct and yet deconstruct the rules of fashion. Designs that explore new found ways of tailoring and craftsmanship to create something startling and unexpected. Sure, couture fashion pieces are not wardrobe friendly because of its unconventional style, forward thinking it's one of a kind uniqueness. A girl can still dream of walking out of the house in a high fashion piece, especially if it's a Maison Martin Margiela!
