What do you get when you cross some of France's greatest designers working through fashion emporium Collete with the iconography of DC Comics? You get some quite remarkable creations. That cost a hell of a lot.

From Flash ballerina shoes to diamond encrusted Plastic Man sunglasses, Bleeding Cool brings you the cutting edge of design to coincide with DC's 75th Anniversary.

A bow tie with fixed eyes, with an alarming eye which finally repeats funnily the strange Joker smile – Alex Mabille
