Stylouz Cosplay
Stylouz is a Swiss cosplayer and a renowned cosplay judge who began his career in 2009. His specialties include costume design, armor crafting, and SFX makeup, and he has won numerous international awards.
He represented Switzerland twice in the ECG (European Cosplay Gathering) competition in Paris, specifically in 2012 and 2015, where he achieved second place with his Rinzler costume from the movie Tron: Legacy.
In 2017, his Hanzo Shimada costume from the game Overwatch launched his career and generated significant attention for him on social media. This led to a partnership with the video game company Activision Blizzard, and he participated in the promotional campaigns for Heroes of the Storm and Overwatch 2.
In 2020, he was cast as a supporting actor in the short film Cyberpunk 2077 Phoenix Program (IMDb), where he played the character V. The film was directed by Vi-Dan Tran (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Dune 2021, Cloud Atlas, etc.).
All of this enabled him in 2021 to star in a few futuristic-themed music videos directed by the famous German director Specter Berlin for the Berlin rapper Olexesh. Between 2022 and 2023, he entered numerous collaborations with global brands such as Sunrise, Telekom, and Red Bull for events like Cyberpunk 2077 Night in cooperation with CD Projekt (The Witcher, Cyberpunk).
