Editorial approach

Costumes, craft and shared stages: cosplay told by the people who make it and live it.

Cosplay combines sewing, sculpting, make-up, performance, photography and mutual support. This section shows the work behind the final image and gives creators room to speak about their own journeys.

From Reunion Island to international conventions, we follow competitions, techniques and communities while respecting credits, image rights and inclusion.
