FASHION TIPS FROM COMIC STRIPS

Best Cosplay Ever (This Week) - 07.18.11

Although cosplay has been present for decades within the comics, anime, and sci-fi/fantasy fandoms, social media has played an integral role in the thriving community of costuming that exists today and cosplay communities such as Cosplay.com and the Superhero Costuming Forum. In honor of the many fans who’ve displayed excellence in the mastery of homemade disguise, craftsmanship, and sartorial superheroics, ComicsAlliance has created Best Cosplay Ever (This Week), a weekly collection of some of the most impeccable, creative, and clever costumes that we’ve discovered and assembled into our own super-showcase of pure fan-devoted talent.

Check out this week’s round-up of the Best Cosplay Ever on ComicsAlliance, featuring Big Barda, Red Skull, Panty and Stocking, Arcee (above), and more!

In which, LadyLawga created a psuedo-cyberpunk lolita coordinate inspired by Jason Todd/Red Hood, and now I want to make a Red Hood purse (says the girl who still insists that she doesn’t really like Jason Todd all that much…).

I love chunky platformed space boots and tulle netted skirts, so I’m sold. I can only hope that the Red Hood purse is carrying a makeup purse that is in the shape of a domino mask ;)

Sartorialist Meets Superhero: Jason Todd, doing the bad-boy thing since 1983. Also, the daddy issue thing, but that’s a whole other story.

It was truly a challenge to figure out what colour this guy’s hair was, by the way. Black? Black with the white streak? Brown? With the streak? Red? They really need to make their minds up over at DC.

I know that I just said that I wasn’t a Jason Todd fan, but if DC hired Yasmin to redesign all of his civilian wear to look like this, I think that I could probably fall in love with JToddz too…

On a side note, this outfit also kind of reminds me of Ben Wyatt’s ensembles in Parks and Recreation (swoon!).

Suggestions on how to achieve this look!

• Any style black bomber jacket.
• Aviator sunglasses. Red or black lenses.
• White tee for inside.
• Dark gray booty shorts (because when I think of Jason, I think “Hot Damn” XD). If you don’t like shorts op for fitted pants or capris but be sure to tuck into boots.
• Black knee length boots.
• Black fingerless gloves.
• Helmet is definitely op but suppose to be the red hood part XD.
• Leg accessories is also op.
• Accessorize!

Inspi list has been updated! Please look for upcoming designs and designs thus far» Inspi Lineup.

Truth be told, I’m not a Jason Todd fan, but I’m all over this outfit.

Plus, I can only presume that she wears the red glasses under the red helmet.

So at first glance, I totally thought they were all wearing mask-shaped bows.

Note to self: Make some mask-shaped bows/hairclips ♥
