Willy Dono & Finncos

Willy Dono, a French cosplayer who is very active on Instagram, stands out for his bold style and inclusive approach. Known for breaking the traditional codes of cosplay, he strives to show that embodying a character should not be limited to gender. In his work, he interprets characters from all walks of life – men, women and non-binary characters – with a creativity that knows no boundaries.

With this inclusive and encouraging vision, Willy inspires a diverse community, who will recognise themselves in his message: cosplay is for everyone, regardless of appearance or gender identity. He uses Instagram not only to share his costumes, but also as a reminder that creativity should never be constrained by convention.

On Instagram, he regularly posts photos and videos of his cosplays, from the creative stages through to the shoot. In his stories and reels, you can follow his daily life and go behind the scenes of his projects. Always authentic, he encourages everyone to express themselves freely through the characters they love.

As a passionate cosplayer with over 10 years’ experience, I’ve had the opportunity to explore a multitude of fascinating aspects of cosplay. My journey has led me to immerse myself in armour-making, where I’ve learned to wield a variety of materials to create pieces that combine aesthetics and functionality. I also honed my wig-making skills, learning how to style and colour wigs to bring my favourite characters to life.

My adventure led me to explore the world of ero cosplay, where I was able to experiment with more daring and artistic costumes, as well as getting into crossplay, which allowed me to step out of my comfort zone by embodying characters from different genres. I’ve even had the chance to work in the professional cosplay field, taking part in various events and competitions, which has provided me with enriching experiences and unforgettable encounters.

Through my travels and encounters, I’ve not only developed my technical skills, but also forged valuable links with other enthusiasts. I’d be delighted to share all these experiences, tips and tricks with you, whether you’re a beginner or a veteran cosplayer.
