We’re used to seeing cosplayers at stuff like conventions and gaming shows, but strutting the catwalk alongside models and designers?
That’s exactly what happened last week, though, when Vicky Lau, aka Vivid Vision (and some friends) were invited to show their stuff as part of Western Canada Fashion Week.
Lau designed and made all the costumes on show, as well as modelling some of them herself (she’s been featured on Kotaku previously). Some are straight cosplay, while others—like the Battle Suit Anna—are more original creations.
