Fans are always coming up with new art and costumes for Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, and Wonder Woman. But a new set of fashion sketches from Chris Pitcairn takes this to the next level, showcasing amazing haute couture costumes.
When it comes to haute couture, DC's leading ladies know a thing or two. Each of these fabulous women has had a number of stunning looks over the years, from runway ready to fast fashion, they always dress to impress. All four of them have even had Couture de Force collectible statues from Enesco. While these looks may not be official DC costumes, they highlight the eye for fashion that fans have when it comes to their favorite comic characters.
On Twitter, Chris Pitcairn shared fan art fashion sketches of some of DC's iconic women: Harley Quinn, Wonder Woman, Poison Ivy, and Catwoman. Harley has her signature bat, which has taken on some galactic inspiration. Wonder Woman's redesign incorporates Amazon armor and her iconic Lasso of Truth. Poison Ivy's look sticks to her roots, incorporating flora. Catwoman also has quite a few feline touches that would give any viewers cat scratch fever, but would allow her to fit in at any of the high society events she loves to burglarize.
Harley Quinn's outfit incorporates several different elements of her looks over the years. Harley's dress has diamonds, accented by pearls and mesh. Her dyed pigtails have been wrapped into cute messy buns, with a couple of loose strands framing her face. She has a sharp pair of gloves, complementing her diamond motif. The diamond motif continues, paired with hearts, on her face with facial accents and earrings in red and blue. Additionally, she has bonus ruffles mirroring her pigtails, which drape down her frame. Wonder Woman's outfit is asymmetrical, with an armored sleeve on her left arm and gold accents encircling her right. She wears a headband mirroring the one worn by Gal Gadot in the DCEU. Her dress is reminiscent of a sleeveless Greek chiton with a deep V cut going down to her hips. Her iconic golden eagle emblem connects the ensemble together, crossing her chest in its usual place.
Poison Ivy's outfit places roses in her hair, as well as a rose bustle on the back of her dress. A major highlight of this sleek dress is the way it's paired with satiny gloves and accented with vines along her sides and arms. Poison Ivy’s the epitome of a beautiful rose having thorns - particularly with rose hairpieces including sharp spikes. Catwoman loves shopping and scoping out targets at parties, so her outfit could easily be part of her early evening work uniform. She dons a black dress with a slit, accented with a cat brooch. She also has her dress train attached to a silver wrist loop, hooked over her clawed gloves. Catwoman accessorizes the ensemble with a cute clutch, big brim hat, masquerade mask, and naturally, pearls.
All four outfits are positively stunning; they excel at highlighting why each of these heroines and villainesses have become comic fashion icons. Chris Pitcairn's designs are gorgeous and use signature elements of each character's fashion history to bring together all-new haute couture ensembles. Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, and Wonder Woman are always ready to plot, steal, or save the world and look good while doing so.
