Cosplay can be just anything. Right? I mean, you think of it mostly, it’s, oh, I’m putting this on to represent like a character, but it can be so much more than that.
Mike and Jordan, a finance professional and former culinary worker turned full-time cosplayer, share their journey in the world of costume creation at Creative Morning Chicago. Through personal stories and examples, they demonstrate how cosplay can be an inclusive creative outlet that welcomes all skill levels and can be crafted from unconventional materials. They met at conventions, eventually got married in cosplay, and now inspire others to express themselves through costume play while building meaningful connections within the community.
