Bio

ALSTON STEPHANUS

Alston Stephanus is a Singapore-born Indonesian accessories designer and cosplayer. He is the founder and creative director of Alston Stephanus Accessories, a Jakarta-based fashion boutique producing elaborate haute couture fashion accessories. Creativity and geekiness runs in his veins and his cosplay work is about making people smile and gasp, expressing himself, promoting costume creation, and bringing visibility to Indonesia.

Having always been a nerd, especially of Star Wars, Alston discovered his love for cosplay in particular at San Diego Comic Con in 2013 and has never looked back. Since then he has devoted himself to creating amazing and unique cosplays that range from the intricate (fiberglass Hiro Hamada) to mash-ups (MegaMan meets R2D2) to genderbending (Princess Mononoke, Belle, Harley Quinn) to the adorable (Adventure Time, Zootopia). Most recently he was a featured performer and cosplay guest at Indonesia Comic Con 2016 and will be a guest at the first ever Seoul Comic Con in South Korea. He is also an ambassador for Nerd Out.

With his background in fashion and accessories, Alston is able to create high quality cosplays that both delight and excite the imagination. His cosplays are further enhanced by whimsical photoshoots and film shorts.
