| Feb 25, 2017 at 14:44 | comment | added | VBartilucci | Since Edna Mode was inspired by/based on Edith Head, who designed costumes for films for just over 50 years, there's no reason Edna couldn't have been designing suits in the fifties, especially if you accept the theory that The Incredibles took place during the seventies. | |

| Feb 24, 2017 at 11:05 | comment | added | Jeremy French | @CHEESE I'd dispute the late 50s timeline. It would seem to be the same timeline as 'the past' for Mr Incredible. Which is highly stylised and non specific. | |
| Feb 24, 2017 at 8:07 | comment | added | Valorum | @CHEESE - The Incredibles seems to be set quite early in the new millennium. Edna's age isn't defined, but she could easily be in her 60s. If Edna started designing superhero suits in her late teens, she could have been responsible for the suits in question, or at least apprenticed to whoever designed them. | |
| Feb 24, 2017 at 8:01 | comment | added | Valorum | @Kevin - I've not voted as a dupe. I've merely highlighted it as a possible (future?) dupe since any sort of backstory to Edna would likely answer the other question as well. | |
| Feb 24, 2017 at 7:57 | comment | added | Kevin | @Valorum: Seeing as nobody at that question came up with CHEESE's comment about the timelines not matching (while CHEESE came up with it in ~15 minutes), I'm skeptical of your dupe-vote. I do not think that the answer to that question is a good answer to this question. | |

| Feb 24, 2017 at 2:34 | comment | added | CHEESE | Two of the capes in question, if you look at the quote, were in action in the late 50's. I doubt she made those ones. | |
