The Fantasy and Sci-Fi Masquerade showcases costumes from fiction, animation (including western cartoons and Japanese anime), graphic novels, and more.
Friday Night Social
The Friday Night Social is a themed party with food and drink, to help you get to know other attendees. Wear your best Hero or Villain outfit, or maybe you’re a fabulously dressed bystander? The Single Pattern contest will be held at the beginning of the Social.
Submit your original fashion and costume designs to the CC35 folio. A panel of judges will put together the Folio, which is sent out to all members and designers. Take any design you wish and create it for the fashion show.
