Project Cosplay
If you know me, you will know that I am obsessed with the show Project Runway. You will also know that I am a big geek. Because of my inherent geekiness, sometimes I notice the designers create designs that seem a little...familiar to me. Here are some side-by-side comparisons from Season 1:
This is Austin's Sarah Hudson outfit side by side with something Mana from the band Malice Mizer is wearing. Beside it being in the usual Mana colors (white and blue), this dress is very EGL. And speaking of:
His Sarah Hudson dress and wedding dress combined look like the fashion show dress from the anime Paradise Kiss (which is about fashion students).
Jay's swimsuit and Paine from the videogame Final Fantasy X-2.
Kara's futuristic outfit and Auron from the videogame Final Fantasy X.
Kevin's fururistic outfit and Shion from the videogame Xenosaga Episode 1.
An oufit from Jay's final collection and Leblanc from Final Fantasy X-2.
That's all that I could think of off the top of my head (at least for Season 1 - as for Season 2, Diana's outfits alone could fill up an entire post).

"Kara's futuristic outfit and Auron from the videogame Final Fantasy X."
I noticed that too.
Off topic, Paine is uber hot for a video game chick.
OMFG I'm glad you pointed these out.. when watching that season I didn't even realize WHY those outfits looked SO FAMILIAR.
Just a stranger who found your blog via Google, looking for costume help.
Thanks for sharing!!

yeah that's right all this clothes are based in video games characters, well maybe I have to buy some clothes based in Squall FF8 or Locke from FF3.
have to disagree with u except for Kara's futuristic outfit, the other ones to me are just showing general trends...
EGL is just a style and the super high collar is always used to show more drama.
it's really unneccessary to link everything to the few anime u have seen, cuz even in anime world, characters dress similar to each other
