Cosplay Modelling

The popularity of cosplay in Japan encourages the misconception that cosplay is specifically a Japanese or Asian hobby. The term cosplay is Japanese in origin, but costume play was originally a hobby from the United States where it has historically been known as costuming as opposed to cosplaying.  Minted Models have been providing promotional cosplay models to events for many years, and always welcome new-face alternative models to become part of our hard-working team.

WHAT IS COSPLAY MODELLING?

Cosplay, or costume play, is where participants called cosplayers wear costumes and fashion accessories to represent a specific character or idea.  Cosplay has boomed since the early 1990's popularity in Japan and Asia, and now cosplay events and fan conventions appear regularly on calendars throughout the western world.  

WHAT TYPE OF BOOKINGS ARE THERE?

There are many different types of Cosplay castings available through Minted Models, falling into two categories.   Studio based editorial shots are regularly required for a wide variety magazine and print assignments.  Also, similar to promotional bookings, Cosplay models are required for modelling and brand-representation work at Cosplay events around the world.  We receive annual bookings from National and international trade shows, conventions and competitions.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS

There are no age requirements for Minted Cosplay models.  Due to the diverse nature of Cosplay, and so many different characters, models of all shapes and sizes can be considered for this type of work.  A unique appearance is an advantage for Cosplay castings, and this is often a great source of work for alternative models.
