Catwoman has always been one of my favorite characters in the DC universe. I remember meeting her during the Batman The Animated series and just adoring her and her cat. To have the opportunity to bring a version of her to my last runway walk for HerUniverse as a judge was truely and honor and I was excited to make this a two looks in one visual.
I pulled a lot of inspiration from not only Batman Returns iconic look, but also from the classic pin up girls of the 30's and 40's. I wanted something that was a little sexy but still a level of elegant that was on brand for her character.
While one of the reasons I wanted to make this two in one was for ease of wear, I actually got the idea from the new Batman film with Anne Hathaway. When she escaped a party, she completely converted her look from one to something completely different in order to make her escape.
That was my basic idea. Make it flare and walk the runway with drama, but then transform into something easy and elegant for an after party.
