Lexa Chan at Lore Con 2026: Fashion School Precision Meets Cosplay Styling
Siani Currie traded a fashion week debut for the cosplay world, and now she styles characters with the same eye she once brought to high fashion runways.
Most cosplayers learn styling by trial and error at conventions. Lexa Chan learned it at fashion school first. Lexa Chan at Lore Con 2026 introduces Atlanta based creator Siani Currie, known online as Lexa Chan, who earned a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from Savannah College of Art and Design before ever building her first cosplay. That background shows in every look she puts together, and it is exactly why her content has built a following of over 100,000 across social platforms.
From Fashion Week to the Otaku Community
Before cosplay, Siani was training as a high fashion designer, chasing a career in the same lane as names like Carolina Herrera and Oscar de la Renta. After debuting at New York Fashion Week back in 2019, she made a choice most designers never make. She stepped away from traditional fashion and moved toward the otaku community instead, bringing her Alt and Kawaii Baddie styling sense into cosplay full time. It is the same crossover energy we highlighted in our piece on what it means to be a Blerd in 2026.
I love what I do so much because of how it resonates with the people that follow me and my community.
Lexa Chan, on what keeps her creatingStyling Is the Whole Point
Where a lot of cosplayers focus purely on accuracy to the source material, Lexa Chan’s specialty is styling, taking a character and giving them a fresh, wearable interpretation without losing what makes them recognizable. Her brand, designed for the Otaku and owned for the style, reflects that exact philosophy. She has covered everything from Powerpuff Girls to anime icons, always filtered through that fashion school trained eye for silhouette and color. That same eye for detail shows up across our roundup of Black anime characters worth cosplaying, many of which would fit right into her style.
Fashion is not the only lane either. Lexa Chan also brings a nerdy, comedic side to her cosplay content, the kind of posts that make fans laugh before they even notice how clean the build is. It rounds her out as a creator, proof that being a serious stylist and being genuinely funny are not mutually exclusive.
Why styling matters in cosplay. Anyone can copy a reference photo. The harder skill is understanding why an outfit works, then translating that into something that photographs well and feels wearable, which is exactly the gap Lexa Chan’s fashion background fills.
She has also built a small content shop around her looks, offering packages of photos and short videos for fans who want a closer look at how each build comes together. It is a smart move for a creator who understands both the art side and the business side of fandom, something her fashion school background clearly set her up to do well.
