Cirque du Soleil. Celebrities. One Piece. EDC. Red Carpets. School of Cosplay. After many years of competing in the national cosplay circuits, winning many awards, he moved to Las Vegas to build Venetian Opera Gowns before landing at Cirque du Soleil’s water spectacular O building costumes. Since leaving Cirque, he has worked freelance out of his own studio – creating everything from mermaids that shoot water, to Mirrorball Men, and Golden Fairies that contort through the air. Jez has designed for events with A-list celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Eva Langoria, Snoop Dogg, and DJs such as Benny Benassi, and Dash Berlin; his jewelry has even been worn on the red carpet at the Billboard Awards and he has designed and worked in the Anime Industry. In Winter 2019 he launched CosplayVegas/GamerVsTailor, the School of Cosplay in Las Vegas. It has grown to offer classes in all disciplines of costume arts as well as support the community through outreach, education, and pass along the universal message that Cosplay is for everyone! I'm pleased to welcome the School of Cosplay Founder Jez Roth to this week's podcast. Jez has had a varied career as a performer, designer, costumer, and cosplay expert. I'm eager to learn how he transformed his unique skill and passion into a thriving business serving the Las Vegas community. Don't miss it!
