Ariel
Hi there!
My name is Ariel. I am a costume maker from south of France. I studied fashion in Paris, then became a chief costumer in a theater. I have been making costumes for years, many historical, fantasy costumes, wedding dresses and now cosplay as well. I work as a set designer as well and try to learn and experiment with many different techniques that can be applied in garments and accessories. I have won some contests, and I am currently the french representative for the World Cosplay Summit 2021 in Japan. I love to teach other people all the knowledge, tips, tricks and anecdotes I have learnt over the years. It is a pleasure to help other in their projects, find ways to make original ideas work, and see people having fun wearing their creation.
