Iron Man's Tony Stark is supposed to be an "industrialist," which Webster's defines as "a person involved in the ownership and management of industry," but we're going to go ahead and claim him as an industrial designer with a clear interest in steampunk. I mean, check out the ad-hoc iron suit he put together to escape his terrorist captors! Stark's no pencil-pusher, not with nice ergonomic touches like that chest-mounted headlight. Or is it a death ray, can't remember. Either way, if MoMA had a superhero division, we'd like to think this suit would be in their permanent collection.
Speaking of which, those of you with rendering skills: What do you think a superhero costume would look like as designed by Philippe Starck? Or Yohji Yamamoto? Or Karim Rashid? What we wouldn't give to see some sketches....

If karim rashid did it, it would be made of vinyl and be bright orange.
I think the K-Rad version would look strikingly similar to Borat's bathing suite.
