FASHION TIPS FROM COMIC STRIPS

Best Cosplay Ever (This Week) - 01.22.13

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 Silk Spectre, Rule 63 Storm, Devilman, Harley Quinn & The Joker (above) and more!

Decisions, decisions…

Gotham Noir: Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, & Catwoman print, by artofegle.

Since I’m a sucker for dresses and retro silhouettes, it’s no wonder why I love these redesigns of the Gotham City Sirens. However, I feel like a green wiggle dress (à la Joan Holloway) would’ve better suited Pamela Isley.

Button Sets, by Ming Doyle

In case you wanted to spruce up your outfit with a touch of Ming Doyle’s beautiful artwork, Ming created these awesome button sets, which will be on sale at HeroesCon.

Styling suggestion: Pin the World’s Finest buttons on the Wonder Motif Tote, to complete the Trinity :)

Harley Quinn Dolman Top, $24.50, Hot Topic.

Holy moly, I nearly plotzed when I saw this shirt! I love the loose, modern cut of this top, plus it’s free of cheesy slogans that are often slapped onto comic tees for ladies.
