Dressed in quirky Cosplay costumes, the three winners were part of 31 fashion students, experts, cosplayers, and everyday fashion enthusiasts from across South Africa. They all came together to kick off this one-of-a-kind fashion challenge. The task: To craft a superhero costume piece in just eight hours. Nearly 2,000 viewers watched the costume makers’ efforts on a live YouTube broadcast on Saturday.
