This June, Marvel's entire 'Reign of X' X-Men line will undergo a kind of m🤡ini-event, in which all the X-Men titles will 🐬tell the story of Krakoa's inaugural Hellfire Gala. 

A kind of mutant prom at which the new line-up of the X-Men will be ann🐻ounced, the Hellfire Gala wi☂ll also feature some of Marvel's most prominent mutants wearing cutting edge haute couture looks designed by fan favorite artist Russell Dauterman.

Dauterman, who is best known for his work on Jason Aaron's Thor (including designing Jane Foster's Thor outfit) and his current work o⛎n X-Men titles such as Marauders and a pair of Giant-Size 🐻X-Men one-shots, has designed new stylish, mutant-centric outfits for Storm, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Rachel Summers, Angel, M, Captain Britain, Rogue, Kate Pryde, and Emma Frost.

, who premiered the designs. "As a teenager that's what I would draw the most—doodles🃏 of an X-character in all their looks. So, I'm absolutely thrilled—designing costumes for the mutants is top-of-the-list, dream job stuff."

"The Hellfire🐻 Gala is unique and exciting for the X-Men, and this opportunity is really special for me—I tried to have that come across in the character designs," Dauterman continues. "As Emma Frost said, 'The whole world is watching us now. We must be nothing less than fabulous'."

Here's a gallery of the designs:

"My general thought was that the Gala aesthetic should be high-fashion X-Men costumes (mutant clothes), not high-fashion human clothes, so I looked at a lot of fashion reference, but tri🍰ed to think, 'What would the X-costume version of this be?'," Dauterman states of the process behind the designs. 

"The looks reference and take inspiration from couture by Alexander McQueen, Iris van Herpen, Balmain, Moschino, Givenchy, Versace, Gaultier, Gucci, and more. I also drew from the cha꧒racters' past costumes."

The Hellfire Gala runs through all eleven X-Men titles in June - X-Men, Excalibur, X-Force, Cable, Marauders, Wolverine, Children of the Atom, X-Corp, Way of X, New Mutants, and Hellions – and will 澳♐洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:culminate in a one-shot titled Planet-Size X-Men.
