An official line of Avengers-inspired clothes
for women has been unveiled by fashion website Hot Topic.
The range is the result of a partnership between women’s pop culture
apparel company Her Universe and Disney Consumer Products.The line includes dresses and jackets inspired by heroes Thor, Iron Man, Captain America and Black Widow, as well as villain Loki.
It includes items that were designed by competition
winners who entered the Her Universe Geek Couture fashion show at last
year’s Comic-Con in San Diego. The winning pair, Amy Beth Christenson
and Andrew MacLaine, then worked with Her Universe founder Ashley
Eckstein. “It’s been such a pleasure to work with Amy and Andrew to create this line from their initial sketches to the final product sold in Hot Topic stores,” said Eckstein.
The launch follows controversy over official Avengers: Age of Ultron merchandise not including Black Widow, which has led to accusations of sexism. Of the 60 items released and analysed, only three included Scarlett Johansson’s character.
