Fashion news: Superhero fashion in Paris, RIP Tyra Show and the Kaiser wants it all

Happy birthday to Batman, Superman, Catwoman, et al. Parisian boutique Colette is celebrating DC Comics‘ 75th anniversary with a superhero-inspired collection by the likes of Karl Lagerfeld, Lanvin and Thierry Larsly. Suffice to say this isn’t tacky paraphernalia, more like sexy Catwoman boots (Roger Vivier) and bejeweled leather gloves (Lagerfeld) a la Green Lantern. [Racked]

Patricia Field, the costume director of a certain monstrous sequel has just released a swimwear collection. Be generous with the sunblock to avoid some crazy tan lines. [The Cut]

Some people want it all, and Karl Lagerfeld is no exception. With his Chanel and Fendi empires at the “peak of luxury,” Lagerfield seems to be aspiring for a more broad-based following. Lagerfield now says, “being at both ends of the market is the height of luxury.” [Fashionologie]

The last episode of the Tyra Banks Show runs today. Don’t be reaching for your tissues all at once now. [The Cut]

Rumors at last night’s El Museo del Barrio gala  were rampant about a merger between WWD and Vogue. Apparently, people are ditching the paper WWD in favor of clicking through its site, while vogue.com hasn’t reached it’s desired following. [Fashion Indie]

After reporting on the Japanese PM‘s multicoloured sartorial faux-pas, we’re amused to report that a Shanghai-based retailer is selling replicas of the infamous checkered shirt – for USD $500. That’s one expensive parody. [Guardian]
