Fullmetal Alchemist Edward Cosplay Costume

Fullmetal Alchemist Edward Cosplay Costume

Cosplay or costume play came about from Asian origins (Japan to be exact) but for the past decade or so, it is making headlines everywhere in the West particularly as we see more RPGs taking over the entertainment industry.
The growth in cosplay is seeing a massive boom, brought about by the usual culprit: social media itself. Rather than just play as the character, these no.1 fans want to be the character: dress like them, act and move like them, and pose like them in particular. Add a bit of photography skills, strategic lighting, Photoshop and you would have brought your favorite anime character, superhero, movie villain or game character to life!

Throughout the ages, the perfect wedding dress has captured the imaginations of women and girls everywhere. That makes it all the more heartbreaking when a wedding is ruined and a dream shattered because of a scam. Today, tight budgets and technology have led more and more women to look online for deals on wedding dresses. And to be sure, there are deals to be had. You needn’t go to a store to find the dress of your dreams. High-quality custom-made dresses can be found online. However, among the deals lie ill-fitting replicas, hideous counterfeits, and callous fraudsters who will steal your money and put your happy wedding in jeopardy.

I recently heard of a small convention called Phat Con hosted by Phat Collectibles. My good friend, That Vegan Cosplayer, invited me to go. This week’s been long for me so I wasn’t sure if I was feeling up to it. But I’m glad I went! I didn’t dress up or anything, which is kind of a bummer for me but all my costumes are in storage. There were a lot of really well done cosplays there, all very high quality and you can tell that everyone there takes great pride in their work. It was held in a room at Dave and Busters (which gives you an idea of how small it was). It’s a great con for anyone who is local, but because of the tiny size its not something I would recommend traveling more than an hour to attend. The nice thing about a small convention like this is that you get a chance to see everything you want and talk to everyone you want to talk to. I felt like the people there were more friendly and open than at some of the larger cons. It was basically just a big hang out for fans of all sorts, with a few artists, some cosplay groups, and a handful of vendors.

I’ve had a slight bee in my bonnet in the past few years over wedding dress designers photographing their gowns with accessories that (in my humble opinion) make the dresses even more delicious than they might be otherwise, but not actually selling the aforementioned accessories.  So that frothy lacy affair the model had draped around her shoulders?  Nope.  Sorry, that doesn’t come with this dress.
Also, I’ve always fancied the idea of buying a fairly plain (cheap) wedding gown and zuzhing it up with bits and bobs, thus transforming it into giddy couture-esque heights whilst back-patting myself on my thrifty creativity.

The first thing to know is that, more so than other designers, Gucci does the same bag style in multiple different materials regularly; that and they often name their bags by the canvas used. So if you’re used to seeing the Gucci Charlotte in GG canvas for instance don’t automatically assume you’re looking at a fake just because you see one in black leather.
The Gucci site is great for this, since they break down each bag style into it’s variations and list the materials for each one. You can also plug the name of the bag and the material you’re interested in (Gucci Boston Metallic for example) into a Google search, and if it’s been made it will totally have come up in the blogs somewhere.

Axis Powers Vash Zwingli Cosplay Costume


In light of the recent Halloween celebrations, one might assume that these portraits are the result of an extended costume rental or an elaborate photo shoot due to a massive sugar high. In reality, the series is a long-term project created by photographer Klaus Pichler. Entitled Just the Two of Us, the photographs feature performance artists who regularly participate in a variety of role play practices where costumes and accessories are worn in everyday life.
From Live Action Role Playing (LARP) to Cosplay (Costume Play), Pichler explores the wide array of imaginative traditions that exist throughout the world. To create his series, the artist visited the homes of his subjects and documented the creatively clad men and women going about everyday activities. He documented many surprising juxtapositions like an angel riding an exercise bike and an alien watching TV, and raises the following questions: "Why did the person choose this particular costume? Does the decoration style of the home give any kind of clues? And, most importantly, Who on earth is hidden behind the mask?"

Dressing up as fictional characters, or cosplay as it's commonly called, has been around for years - and the level of detail some people are able to achieve is truly staggering.

Chanel bags (and jewelry, and clothes) are as notoriously difficult to come by as any in the luxury market. Chanel doesn’t sell its wares online (and doesn’t plan to in the near future), and if you’ve never tried to just waltz into a department store or Chanel boutique and purchase one, you might be surprised at how hard it can be to find a store with the most sought-after styles in stock. Solving this kind of problem is the Internet’s specialty, though, which brings us to the huge crop of vintage Chanel bags, accessories and clothing from What Goes Around, Comes Around that are currently available via Moda Operandi.
The bags are mostly black (a Chanel staple), and you’ll find plenty of the brand’s signature styles, like Classic Flaps and camera bags. For us, the standout is the alligator mini crossbody, but any of these bags would be pretty impressive in your closet. (Or under your tree, if you’re feeling generous.) Rest assured, the vintage mavens at WGACA only deal in authentic bags. Shop the full sale until December 16 via Moda Operandi or check out some gorgeous pics of the bags below.

At cons, cosplayers come in all shapes, sizes, ages and genres; it’s like Halloween for geeks but with more moving parts. But don’t get us wrong, cosplay isn’t simply about dressing up, it’s about showing attention to detail and honoring the idea of a character you (or your parents) friggen adore. If you’re headed to SDCC2013 this weekend, you will probably see some pretty cool costumes, but don’t stop to take too many pictures of small children or you will look suspicious. Instead, let The Collective do all the leg work. We have scoured the interwebs for the best child-centric cosplay outfits and here are our top 10. We will shy away from the typical, generic dress up costumes and get right into the committed-nerd-parents-have-designed-an-epic-costume cosplay ideas.
