Superhero Costume Redesign.

Project Rooftop is a fashion site for superheroes – the website showcases costume redesigns of superheroes by various cartoonist and illustrators.

This one is a redesign of an X-Men character Rogue, done by Nuno Alves:

In this piece, we see artist Nuno Alves has paired down Rogue’s traditional costume for something more sleek, adult and determined.

Harking back to her original costume first seen in Avengers Annual #10, Alves’ design goes further to simplify it with a simple black unitard as used by acrobats and dancers (and fetishists). The green scarf serves a complimentary function and intriguing aesthetic when imagined in motion. although such a trailing garment would leave herself vulnerable to a foe with quick hands and a strong grip. The green track shoes might at first seem against the lithe form and build of the costume, but when taken in consideration Rogue’s formidable strength, these sports shoes would provided added traction when accomplishing her tasks.
