Seen on Internet: a Little Prince cosplay
Have you heard about cosplay? It’s the latest craze, spawned in Japan and now spreading worldwide. The principle is simple: the cosplayer makes a costume in the style of his or her favourite hero (often drawn from a comic strip or video game) to wear at cosplayer conventions and special events. Trawling the Web, we came across pictures of Asian cosplayers decked out as the Little Prince. The event in question was the 2008 Manila Book Fair in the Philippines.
| Hats off to these gifted costume designers and the touch of class they bring to every new creation! A lot of thought has clearly gone into the representation of the fox and the snake, just as it has into costumes for recent Little Prince shows and operas. We know very little about the influence of the Little Prince in countries like the Philippines. Yet again, however, it is clear that the visual world of a tale written way back in 1943 is able to inspire a new generation. |  |
