Cosplay has always been about more than costume — it’s a creative act, a way of stepping into a world of your own design. In alternative fashion, that world expands even further: part fantasy, part street style, part self-portrait. Whether inspired by mythology, cinema, or pure invention, these looks celebrate transformation as both performance and personal expression. It’s fashion without boundaries, shaped by imagination.
