With Star Trek Into Darkness right around the corner, I’ve been getting a lot of messages about Star Trek-inspired fashion. Luckily, Fab just launched a week-long Star Trek fashion sale, featuring graphic tees, costume-inspired apparel, and costume replicas (for men, women, and kids).
Check out the sale HERE!

Casper & Richie Rich Look Fresh To Death In Harvey Comics x MISHKA NYC Collection [link]
Just in time for New York Comic Con, menswear label MISHKA NYC collaborated with Harvey Comics for a Fall 2012 capsule collection of t-shirts, tank tops, and snapbacks featuring graphics of Casper and Richie Rich. The campaign for the MISHKA NYC collection also features Harvey Comics’ classic roster of characters including Hot Stuff, Baby Huey, and Wendy, each decked out in the label’s eyeball-emblazoned street gear. While many fashion designers tend to pull inspiration from the masks and capes of DC Comics and Marvel entities, it’s actually quite refreshing to see a streetwear collection inspired by these Harvey icons.

Lazy Oaf x Batman Collection Channels ’90s Batmania [link]
British creative label Lazy Oaf launched a Batman-inspired apparel collection for both men and women, just in time to celebrate the success of The Dark Knight Rises. Known for their bright, pop culture-infused graphics inspired by fast food and Disney, the East London-based design team’s take on Batman channels the fun, kitschy side of the Dark Knight. From cropped baseball tees to logo-splattered dresses, the Lazy Oaf x Batman collection is actually quite reminiscent of the material we saw in Batmania craze of the early ’90s that followed the popularity of Tim Burton’s first Batman film.
Some of the items are currently sold out, however Lazy Oaf will be restocking the collection within the next couple of weeks. Fortunately, this gives me enough time to scrounge up some of my leftover SDCC pocket change to pick up a few items for myself!

I currently have my eye on the Spider-Man Web Bracelet & Spider Ring and the Thor Charms Crystal Dangle Earrings. Which items in the collection are you coveting?

RIP Jerry Robinson - your presence in the comicverse will surely be missed, but not forgotten.
Green Arrow inspi sketch.
Suggestions on how to achieve this look!Fem Ver: This one is a mix between Green Arrow’s YJ costume and old costume.
- Green hooded top. During the winter use a hoodie for extra warmth, for the cooler springs use a thin green hooded top or else you’ll get hot :O!
- Yellow scarf is op but it’s suppose to be his famous beard/goatee haha.
- Green trenchish jacket. I based the jacket off this: Click. Expensive but very cute and stylish jacket.
- Wear a classy skirt/shorts (not seen in drawing).
- Tights OP.
- Brown boots. I suggest those new in style super high-length boots (since those best represent GA) but it’s a very selective style boot. So any style boot would do great as well : ).
- Brown leather gloves is op.
- Those classy duffle style handbag op.
- Accessorize!
Men ver: More based off his old style costume when Green Arrow has his hat. Sorry if it looks plain ;A;. I didn’t wanna over style it so it could look more everyday. But I will suggest more clothes in the text for a more complex look. I feel like I’ll have to redraw a new version eventually -U-.
- Kay guys time to grow a beard, jkjk definitely optional.
- Green cap or green paperboy hat (op but suggested).
- Green hooded trench/jacket. A green hoodie is also good. Bombers are also highly suggested but it might be a little hard to find them in green but I think a brown one will still be stylish.
- Green V-neck shirt (i know some guys really don’t like the V-neck look so that’s OP). A button up top would also work.
- Arrow necklace pointing towards the pants because, you know, Green Arrow (lololol my friend pointed it out OTL.) Necklace is very optional XD.
- Fitted pants will do, preferably the dark tannish shades.
- Classy dark toned shoes. OP for green converses. Or op for boots (though I don’t know many guys who wear boots ;u;).
- Accessorize as pleased!
(omg i promise the batman and superman men ver will look 10x more better
ihopeOTL).

These Green Arrow-inspired coordinates are great styling references for both Autumn and Spring looks. I love how Kat reinterpreted Green Arrow’s look for both women’s fashion and menswear, and how she utilized styling motifs between the two looks (hooded jackets, arrow accessories, olive brown accents).
However, I can’t help but imagine that the ladies’ wear Green Arrow would work quite nicely as a Link-inspired outfit, as well :)
