El diseño de indumentaria y la comunicación en el cómic

Comic book female superhero character designs analyzed based in common relevant characteristics: their ideological, social, political and sexual aspects as forms of expression of the identity of individuals from the perspective of male dominant beauty standards. "Personally, I find in textile design and superheroes a special interest, initiated in childhood and developed since then. The taste for women's apparel design has been a constant in my life. In turn, my attraction to superheroes began at about ten years old when I read my first comic book: Number 1 X-Men vol. 2 (published in 1991), written by Chris Claremont in collaboration with artist Jim Lee (see image). At the time I did not rationale why that attraction, but then I realized that it was due to the number of female characters who made up that superhero team, and mainly to the wide variety of costumes they wore. The fact that these costumes were modified according to the idiosyncrasies of each character, and which in turn indicated membership in the same team, I find it still fascinating."
