CosplayX SUMMER SCHOOL AT XCENTER

Join the CosplayX Summer School at Xcenter and create your own unique cosplay costume under the guidance of fashion designer Ines Ferdinanda Drole – from the first idea to the final creation. Places are limited, so secure your spot in a week filled with creativity, sewing, and fantasy characters!

From July 6 to 10, 2026, Xcenter in Nova Gorica will host the exclusive CosplayX creative summer school, a high-profile educational and workshop program designed for young participants aged 14 and older.

The initiative, limited to a maximum of eight students, will allow each participant to design and craft an original costume inspired by the worlds of anime, manga, Japanese culture, video games, or fantasy cinema, guiding them through the entire creative cycle from the initial conceptual idea to the final manufacturing.

The educational curriculum will be coordinated by fashion and costume designer Ines Ferdinanda Drole (Nanda), an active professional in the creative design and fashion industry. Workshops will take place daily from 10:00 to 15:00, with a lunch break scheduled between 12:00 and 13:00.

Core activities will include character study, cutting and sewing, material processing, and accessory styling. The participation fee is set at 100 euros, while the remaining educational costs are co-funded by the GO! 2025 public entity.

For optimal workflow, a basic knowledge of sewing techniques and the use of a personal sewing machine are recommended, although the host facility will provide a limited number of additional units.

Basic materials will be fully supplied by Xcenter, without prejudice to the participants' option to integrate their own fabrics or elements.

Upon registration, which should be completed promptly given the limited availability, applicants must state their chosen character and submit a reference image.

At the end of the week, the completed costumes will remain the property of the authors and will be officially showcased during a dedicated event.

The course will be activated upon reaching a minimum threshold of seven registered participants.
