Jayla Beta's Intergalactic Costume Emporium
Portfolio Submission for MTAC 2010
Jayla Beta's Intergalactic Costume Emporium is excited about returning to exhibit in the concourse at MTAC Odyssey (2010).
Our experience exhibiting at MTAC Ninja was a highlight of 2009.
We believe our custom costumes and accessories are a perfect fit for the MTAC culture.

Gina Wood, head costume designer and founder of JBICE has been sewing costumes since her wedding in 1997.
Her interest in costuming was rekindled during the release of the Star Wars prequel films, whereupon she designed several custom costumes inspired by the Star Wars universe for her friends.
She became interested in anime cosplay in 2006 during her first visit to MTAC. She has always been an admirer of Asian culture, so the combination was a perfect match.

Hakama - traditional Japanese pants worn by Samurai
Haori - traditional Japanese Jacket

Gina has been hard at work since MTAC Ninja to expand her line and provide even more diverse cosplay items for the discerning otaku.

In an attempt to control the clutter of the Artist's Concourse, we will keep most of our bulky inventory in our hotel room. We plan to have two costumes on display at the table at any one time, in addition to the costumes worn by the staff, accompanied by smaller accessory items, a photo album with examples of other work, and if power is available, a digital picture frame with samples.
