Recently sitting during the last biweekly during a rained in Labour Day weekend in Yesterday in Auckland, in which it sits during in between the 20th to 23rd October 2017 in which the Auckland Armageddon is currently held in Greenlane at the ASB Expo and Pavilion Center…   Armageddon Auckland is one of many Armageddon sci-fi Comic Conventions on a smaller scale to Hong Kong’s Ani-Com and Games as to the larger scale conventions Comic Con in between from San Diego to New York’s Comic Con also other various larger scale Comic Con’s in the United States…

 

The 501 legion Mandalorian with Mandalorian Armour…
One great cosplay of Ben Solo Aka- Kylo Ren..
a family of Jedi pasting down the their star wars stories to the next generation..
sharing with the same passion celebrating as Princess Leia and Han Solo..
Orthough they’re from the dark side but a little good light side in finding funds for the Ronald McDonald House..

One aspect of Armageddon is the high degree of passion of Cosplay in which it has no boundaries… in living costume play of their favourite character from their favourite movie, television, novel, Anime -manga , in which one iconic theme Cosplay is Star Wars in which is always a traditional favourite.. In which mostly a majority Star Wars cosplayers come as Team Darth Vader in either in his whole attire or as part of the team as various variants of Stormtroopers..  As some of the majority is team Jedi cosplaying in various stories of Jedi with the sassy Princes Leia in her stylist iconic Alderaan white dress among with Han Solo… along with other key characters from the three trilogies..

The New Zealand 501 legion whom work in doing awesome charitable work that involves rasing funds for the Ronald McDonald children hospital …. also the Happiness Darth Maul ever..

Mostly all of the Star Wars is composite created crafted by the cosplayers itself or outsourcing the cosplay wardrobe from else where in which there’s nothing wrong without self crafting it’s the passion that behind the cosplaying that unifies  in which one Star Wars like the ones that featuring made by the New Zealand 501 legions from the Outpost 42 are highly degree resourced, resourcefully self  or out made, in which this year they’ve been relocated in the signing hall in which the Outpost 42- 501 legion was previously located in Hall C.. in which they have a great location in gathering for a collecting charitable funds for the New Zealand Ronald McDonald House a Charity in which funds in helping out children in need in during their stay in hospital also after.. next year’s Auckland Armageddon Star Wars Cosplaying should be interesting in which we’ll shall see.. ?

The Wearable Arts Awards, is based on creatively, innovation, inspiration on Fashion on using materials that you take from various resources to construct a story of that creation in the various categories that presented in utilization of those materials and create a story/stories within the garment itself

There’s one industrial designer Dylan whom was approached by Air New Zealand...  To breaking those boundaries in creativity in traveling from places to places to find stories within those places, from Dunedin to in where he absorb the architecture in taking photography, scans of the Gothic nature of the place then processing the collection then bending it into the design process..  Then going towards New Plymouth where taking the inspiration of the nature of forestry environment… in where nature inspiration comes colours, the various nature textures into the Garment..  In where he takes the two dimensional scan then process creativity on technology to fashion into a garment………in which should be reveal in the Wearable Art Awards..

As processing that inspiration in creating, crafting in which he took most of the design process in using VR-Virtual reality, with 3D modelling processing those designs in which 3D printing most various components of the garment in which you can’t physical do by crafting with hands, as with the given material on hand like the fabrics of Air New Zealand black leather seating coverings in which he took indented out a Gothic patterns that go inspired by Dunedin Gothic style..

As the process take, place, shape tailoring to what Dylan Mulder designed tailor out to be in his Wellington design industrial studio, Studio 11, he assembles the wearable arts garment, in the very geared up city for the World of Wearable arts in creating his inspiration in which his journey has taken him in the garment is tailored, fitted on the model, and creating is shown to a mass of crowds, whom asking very curious question about in the WOWness Dylan’s inspiration to tailoredly worn is shown..
