Anyone else notice the buzz around superheroes lately? Besides the seemingly endless stream of films telling the tales of the world’s beloved caped crusaders, major fashion publications have picked up on the trend as well, churning out editorials starring the likes of Superman and Catwoman. After all, who can resist the appeal of extraordinary powers?
Local label AL&ALICIA has also been drawn into the vigilante vogue. Their Spring 2012 collection, “Time To Pretend“, features every comic book hero’s fondness for primary colours, bold prints, layers and masks (don’t worry – no skintight latex or wearing your underwear on the outside anywhere in sight!).

The 26 looks range from flirty and feminine to dark and dashing, and all carry an avenger’s mysterious allure while remaining extremely wearable and chic. Spring’s citrus palette is pulled into play in the collection’s fun frocks, shorts and jackets in splashes of tangerine, buttercup and “power red”. The common all-leather look has been traded for textures of linen, silk and metal fibres, but the tough girl vibe still remains in the form of biker jackets, strong shoulders, and in-your-face cutouts and colour blocking. You might want to check out the collection’s Captain trousers, Dark Knight Avenger pants and Super Shorts. Talk about clothes that save the day!
“Time to Pretend” officially launches on the 15th of February 2012. Prices range from S$60 to S$150 for tops, S$140 to S$230 for bottoms and S$220 to S$450 for jackets and dresses.
