Yaya Han’s costumes are outta this world!
As a costume designer, I often find myself scouring the Internet for ideas, reference designs, and other incredible costume geniuses who will inspire my own work. One day, when I was researching wings for my latest creation—the Sorceress from He-Man—I stumbled across a gold mine. Her name is Yaya Han, and to put it quite simply, she’s one of the best costume designers I’ve ever seen. Period.
You don’t have to take my word for it, start scrolling and see for yourself. Once you’ve gotten a taste, be sure to visit Yaya Han’s official website. There’s so much more!

I love yaya Han! I got the pleasure to met her at AnimeNorth this year, I almost cried since she’s one of the reasons why I’m making cosplays right now :3
And just a little thing: That’s not Yuko from XXX Holic but Athena from Sainte Seiya ^^;
Great Article!
Thanks! I got all of the info on her site… I’ll let her know! I agree – she’s the best.
I’m so with you on this one Kristen Yaya rocks I’m praying I get to meet her one day, maybe even collaborate with her on one of her designs? I mean we have the same birthday! That’s gotta stand for something right?lol!
