From Ryunosuke Okazaki's Ready-To-Wear collection, Spring 2022, Tokyo. Whatever you were considering for your next #cosplay - you might want to dream a bit wilder.

Has anyone found evidence for SFF costume at a public event before 1877 yet? If not, the Jules Verne ball in Amiens that year still holds the record as the origin of #SFF #cosplay, and France is still #ontherecord as SFF cosplay's birthplace.

Jean-Louis Trudel tells me that #SFF #cosplay has an origin date of 1877 in France, where a Jules Verne costume ball was held on 2 April. On the left, a costume showing his lunar projectile:

Talking about who "originated" #cosplay should include recognition of the European Bauhaus costumers of the 1920s, whose work is truly mind-blowing.

#Cosplay #beforetimes - my costume-friendly birthday party, 1976. Three nods the the great Universal monsters and one to Planet of the Apes. All self-constructed and self-styled by the wearers. I've been lucky to know so many gifted costumers.

Anyone of any age, race, size or culture, can #cosplay. Here's a wonderful photo by the late Barbara Kitson, from the 1977 UK #StarTrek convention masquerade, showing the late Miri Rana wearing her own recreation of #Vulcan elder T'Pau.
