Lokisa (Visual You Fashion Incorporated) Retrospect


I’ve been meaning to talk about this brand for quite some time. I first encountered Lokisa back in 2008 at Fanime. They were putting on a fashion show at stage zero and of course me being a sucker for fashion couldn’t resist and dragged my friends along with me. I do admit that the first time I saw Lokisa’s designs I immediately fell in love. Not only did they do a great job showing off their attire on stage, but also had a distinct look to make them unique.

Artsy Apparel: An Introduction

Welcome to the blog!  The idea of Artsy Apparel  hatched at the end of 2012 where two girls who adored fashion and the art of cosplaying equally and wanted collaborate on a blog that expressed both interests while keeping a focus on the local scene (for them, it's Sacramento, California).  They met in school after discovering that they both were fashion majors who got into design and apparel construction through cosplay and they quickly connected and became friends.  Not only do they have backgrounds in cosplaying and sewing, they also have experience in fashion blogging and public relations and were models for Cyril Lumboy of dolldelight.

But that's enough of an introduction of the pair-- now they'll take over introducing themselves individually!
