Fashion legend Diane von Furstenberg is dipping a stylish toe into the world of superheroes with a limited-edition DC Comics book that will be released alongside her Wonder Woman-inspired holiday collection.
Titled Be the Wonder Woman You Can Be, Featuring the Adventures of Diva, Viva & Fifa, the comic features illustrations by Konstantin Kakanias, essays by Gloria Steinem and Les Daniels, a letter from actress Lynda Carter, a reprint of Wonder Woman’s first adventure, and several early covers.
The von Furstenberg-penned story centers on three friends — Diva, Viva and Fifa — who make “empowering choices.” While wearing DVF clothes, naturally.
The $25 comic will be sold in DVF boutiques and at dvf.com, along with a special $50 T-shirt and a $230 tote. Proceeds will benefit Vital Voices, an organization that “identifies, trains, and empowers emerging women leaders and social entrepreneurs around the globe.”

I can’t wait to dress up in that and play with my Black Canary Barbie doll!

Will this be the Earth-2 versions of Diva, Viva & Fifa?

Oh, and if Lynda Carter is too busy to play Hippolyta in a Wonder Woman movie, I say give Diane von Furstenberg a call.

DVF is a fasion icon. Great publicity for her clothing line, and for WW.
