French fashion magazine [Citizen K](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citizen-x-honda) has been caught red handed. Their latest issues features male models in superhero mode, with silver hair, and bright red painted hands.

The editorial for Citizen K certainly makes it look like the models could take over the world with their well-fitted suits and perfectly pressed hair (very Superman-inspired), but the red hands with blue nail polish certainly is a new addition to the [superhero look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superman-collection).

**Implications** - With that being said, I think the edition of a [cool new nail polish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipolish) is good for the superhero image. This French fashion magazine spread is incredibly striking and worth noting as it could easily grace the pages of a magazine years from now. The classic cuts and bold colors would be a great addition to any fashion wardrobe.
