"I love Robert Downey Jr.! He was the perfect choice for Iron Man," said Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and comic book junkie Michael Chabon, after this morning's press conference for "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy" at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Sponsored by Giorgio Armani and Condé Nast Publications, the exhibition pairs Batman with Balenciaga, Mystique with McQueen. At the conference, Armani and Anna Wintour sat together while designer Gabi Asfour looked on from the crowd. Of the show, Armani says, "Fashion, like the superhero, allows you to dream and escape into a world of unfettered imagination."
