If you haven’t seen Megarinri’s inspired fashion sketches on tumblr, then you have definitely been missing out! Today’s outfit is based upon her Robin design. I’ve been wanting to put this outfit together ever since I first saw the sketch and today was the day! I may not be the biggest DC fan but I’ve always been fond of the various Robins and so doing an outfit inspired by them just felt right especially since it definitely gives off a Young Justice!Robin vibe.

So check it out, somebody’s got neptune hair. And what better way to show it off than to… put it into a bun so nobody can see it?? Alternately, just channel oceanic royalty by putting wings on your feet, showing some skin, and flirting with ALL THE BLONDES.
For those keeping score at home, this is good ol’ retro king of the sea. I like to think we are all brothers and sisters of the booty short clan.

Warning! There are absolutely spoilers in this post for the Project Runway Season 10 finale!
.
.
.
Project Runway finished up its tenth season on Thursday, and boy did this finale actually leave me grinning from ear to ear because my favourites tend to have really bad luck when it comes to crowning the winner. Dmitry Sholokhov was crowned the newest Project Runway champion and wow did a fair number of his designs read superhero chic to me! (Although I would totally love to see the show do a challenge where the designers have to make designs that are actually inspired by superhero costumes.)
Tell me that this dress doesn’t scream ‘THOR’ at you. It’s chic, adorably asymmetrical, and that silver fabric looks fabulous. It could have come off as looking cheap or costume-y but Dmitry totally made it work.
White leather? Architectural designs? Yep, these both definitely made me think that Emma Frost might be looking to put these pieces in her closet, especially the jacket. For those who watch the show, you probably recall Dmitry’s winning look for the print challenge. No one does cutouts like he does, especially because he manages to do them without making the design verge on tasteless.
I loved this design as well. It read Black Widow to me, or at least it’s something that I could totally see Natasha rocking.
Although this light green colour is rather different from the usual shade associated with Polaris, this dress could definitely work for Lorna. The metal sleeves even give off hints of her powers of magnetism. The colour! The neckline! The side cutouts! Get in my closet now please!
This final looks gives off a Black Cat vibe to me. While the black and white colour scheme is the most obvious connection, the embellishment on the top gives the impression of a v-neckline while the blouse itself is see-through. The layered sleeves also are reminiscent of her costume’s trademarked fur accents.

These are only a few of the designs from his winning final collection, but you can check out the rest of the collection and the other designs he made throughout the show on the official Project Runway site.

Retro chic! Bold graphic prints! Vibrant colours!
The spring collection from Kate Spade jumps from the pages with its retro charm and our fond memories of 4-colour stories. With colour blocking that recalls panel layouts and graphic detail that mimics halftone, it was love at first sight as we surreptiously added that POP! clutch to our list of Yes Good We’ll Take Two Of Everything.
Pssst. Want a discount? The Kate Spade Family & Friends Sale is going on till Sunday, October 21. Just use the code F12FFUS at checkout at katespade.com!

Panels attended:
- Marvel NOW!: Join the ReEvolution
- Stan Lee’s World of Heroes

A series of caplocks sans capslock:
Two unannounced Marvel lady titles; a possible third, but it’s on the fence because it’s a little risqué. And to top it off, there’s apparently some things in the works for Wasp? My baby gurrrrrl, I possibly had tears on my face. (Aside from Rick Remender currently doing that weird robot acsension thing with Janet Van Dyne, hopefully.) There’s going to be Ultron down the line, picking up probably from the things in Mighty Avengers? so WHO KNOWS, WHO KNOWS ROBOTS FOR ALL. /speculate

1. Seen at the Lego booth. Keepin’ the dream alive, yeah.
2. Clark Gregg at the Marvel TV panel.
Agent Coulson is back for the SHIELD television show, yep. Surprise-but-not-really-a-surprise appearance from Clark Gregg. What a cutie. Had feels all over his face when they presented that Agent Coulson in memoriam video.

Feels all over my freakin’ face for new Guardians of the Galaxy and Nova books. Euphoria quickly followed by apprehension, re: team. I get it, I get it. Movie tie-ins; bringing it closer to the rest of the Marvel 616. But do we really need to bench Moondragon or Mantis for Iron Man? I’ve already given up on Phyla-Vell because my heart can’t take the anyway.
Star-Lord, your helmet oh no. But trust in Steven McNiven because he’s good people.

1. Lin as Leah and Nara Rouge as Kid Loki with the amazing Stephanie Hans, artist for Journey Into Mystery.
2. Get your copy of Phonogram signed by Kieron Gillen whilst dressed as Leah? Magic obviously happens.
