What started off being a way to pass time as an easy read in the early 1930’s has turned into an international phenomenon of movies, more books, and even political statements. Today is National Comic Book Day and we are here to celebrate the eye-catching artwork and the characters that we have brought to life over the years. Ranging from crime-fighting superheroes to our favorite cartoon strip in the Sunday newspaper, bringing us joy for years. Comics are not just for a good laugh, they are also used to make a statement.

For Prada’s 2018 Spring/Summer collection that debuted at Milan Fashion Week, there was only one thing in mind: woman empowerment. With the backdrop being female comics drawn by only female comic designers from the 1940’s to present day, and the use of fresh, new tough faced models, plus boxy/edgy pieces, the show was all about the statement. Whether you use comics as a way to escape from reality or to prove a point, we have picked 10 stylish pieces of clothing and accessories ranging from a comfy pair of Batman sweats, a revamped pink panther sweatshirt, your new go-to Woodstock sneakers, and a vintage Chanel bag pulling from the pop art design; we are sure you are going to find something you will love to wear for National Comic Book Day.
