DC Comics is celebrating its 75th anniversary and Collette has commissioned top designers to create a range of superhero-themed products for its store window. Comic books have just become a leading fashion contender with names like Karl Lagerfeld and Lucas Ossendrijver designing outrageously rad designs.
The limited edition designs include plastic holey sunglasses, a 'Dog Batman' shirt, a pair of Catwoman thigh-high boots by Roger Vivier -- which are stunning -- and Green Lantern gloves by Karl Lagerfeld. Be sure to check out the gallery for more photos of the superhero-themed products.
