“Wonder Woman has always empowered fans by embodying what it is to be powerful, confident and heroic, while also expressing her grace, compassion and femininity – in her upcoming feature film and for the last 75 years,” said Soo Koo, Warner Bros. Consumer Products’ Chief Creative Officer.
“With fashion as a daily form of self-expression, we’re thrilled to bring together some of the most well-known and exciting designers in the world to create a diverse collection of high-end collaborations and street-ready apparel and accessories for fashion devotees, casual shoppers and everyone in between.”
Prêt-à-porter pieces from such celebrated designers as Louis Vuitton, Versace, Givenchy, D-Squared, Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Kenzo, Lanvin, Roland Mouret, Tommy Hilfiger, Tory Burch, and many more, will be included in this tribute to Wonder Woman, and showcased and auctioned off during an intimate event taking place in Paris, France, on June 7, with all proceeds going to the LemLem Foundation founded by international model and advocate Liya Kebede, whose mission is to improve African women’s lives by promoting access to healthcare and economic opportunities.
“We’re delighted and honored to be working closely with such world-renowned fashion designers to celebrate Wonder Woman and the inspiration she brings to all couture corners of the world for these exclusive collaborations,” Koo added.
As Wonder Woman is well-known for her iconic silver gauntlets and gold headdress, WBCP has also teamed up with leading accessory and jewelry brands to create fashion-forward bracelets, headbands and more.
Nanette Lepore Brand and A Classic Time Watch Co. showcase Wonder Woman’s timelessness with an extravagant watch collection, while Love and Madness offers consumers accessories designed and crafted entirely by women. Contemporary jewelry brand ALEX AND ANI also offers a line of jewelry and highly collectible charm bracelets.
In addition to exclusive boutique stores, WBCP is ensuring accessibility of Wonder Woman-inspired fashion collections all over the world by teaming up with top global and mass market retailers.
Best-in-class retail partner GAP continues its global collaboration with WBCP in a capsule collection inspired by the attributes of the iconic DC Super Hero and the film for women, girls, toddlers and babies.
As I’ve mentioned before, Kohl’s will feature an exclusive first-ever DC-inspired Her Universe active wear collection for young women and the young at heart, from juniors to plus sizes. Pop-culture hub Hot Topic brings on a fan-dedicated Her Universe apparel collection in-stores and online – designed for fans by fans – as Her Universe collection assembled through a unique design contest held at last year’s International Comic-Con in San Diego; as well as the online retail store for Torrid, which will also have the WW collection in plus sizes.
Don’t forget about the kids! The youngest ones might not be ready to see the movie, but the buzz is sure to reach them! And that’s where retailers like Downtown Bookworks come in. Here are some books for kids of all ages that feature everyone’s favorite Amazon warrior:
My First Wonder Woman Book (a board book for ages 0–3) is an interactive exploration of Wonder Woman’s abilities.
Each page features a special effect such as a “tug-able” golden lasso, a lift-the-flap, and a reflective mirror.
The Big Book of Girl Power (a picture book for children 4 and up) and My First Book of Girl Power (a board book for ages 0–3) offer a closer look at Wonder Woman and her fellow DC super heroines as inspiring role models.
The Official DC Super Hero Joke Book (a paperback for ages 8 and up) is filled more than 600 jokes about Wonder Woman and her DC cohorts. The humor is sure to make kids (and pun-loving adults) smile, laugh, and read jokes aloud to friends.
All of thier books are packed with classic comic art that adults will remember from their own childhoods. To see out full line, go here: www.dtbwpub.com/dc-super-heroes.html
Of course, there are also the requisite toys, action figures and collectibles associated with a tentpole Comic Book Movie. LEGO has always been a staple of CBM fandom for kids and adults.
The official LEGO kit to go with Wonder Woman’s cinematic debut release, ‘Wonder Woman Warrior Battle’, features Gal Gadot’s Diana Of Themyscira and Chris Pine’s Steve Trevor versus Ares, a giant-sized god of war.
Wonder Woman also debuted earlier this year in DC Superhero Girls Wonder Woman Dorm introducing younger fans to her and other DC heroes and villains, it had deep cuts from DC lore entertaining enough for kids comic loving parents! I own both sets so your school age master builders will be as thrilled as mine are!

The DC Comics Multiverse line has become a personal favorite of mine!
