Join Ceit Ryder and Billi Maddox as they share tips and techniques on how to take everyday clothing and create outfits inspired by the denizens we see on screen in our favorite films and television shows from a galaxy far far away.
In this episode of Off the Rack Rebellion, host Billi catches up with fellow Burgundy Squadron member and RainCore creator @paradereigner to talk about his evolving journey of cosplay. Our guest looks back at his DIY origins—from backyard childhood adventures wearing ice cream tubs as helmets to the gritty early days of building fiberglass armor over hockey pads and chasing competitive trophies at conventions. The two break down the burnout of high-stakes competition and commission work, discuss what separates full-on cosplay from Star Wars and Disney bounding, and explore the challenges of learning new fabrication skills like sewing versus modern 3D printing.
