My only complaint is that they never do any of their groovy fundraising events in Brooklyn. Oh well. If you can’t make it to the show, check out the new collection on Fifth Avenue.
The Brooklyn
Superhero Supply Company, a drop-in tutoring center on Fifth Avenue between 5th and 6th Streets in Park Slope and sponsored by Dave Eggars’ McSweeney’s Magazine,
unveils its "spring 2006 collection" at a benefit in Manhattan.
It’s for a great cause. The drop-in tutoring center at the Superhero Supply Company is a great resource for school kids. The workshops for kids, teens, and adult are also said to be great. And the shop is a wildly imaginative and fun place for kids and adults.
Participating
designers at the Superhero fashion show include Zac Posen, Marc Jacobs, and Behna z Sarafpour. "Models" include Amy Sedaris and
"Daily Show" correspondents Ed Helms, Samantha Bee, and Rob Corddry.
The event also includes superhero-themed readings and come dy.
Highlights include "Edna Mode," the cartoon fashion designer from "The
Incredibles," who will deliver her predictions for the upcoming season.
Author and "Incredibles" voice artist Sarah Vowell relates her
