I was not a big fan of Saint Seiya, but when a friend forced me to watch it I literally fell in love with it! <3 When I saw Shaka for the first time I thought that Virgo’s costume is one of the most beautiful to carry out, so I decided to try! <3

What I wanted was a perfect, gold, shiny and mirrored armour... so I tried to replicate that effect :)

The costume is made of foamed pvc and vinyl, the most difficult part was the helmet because of its "round" shape. I wore the costume at Romics 2012 for the WCS selections. I’ve not been selected, but I’m happy anyway with my results! :)

The picture was taken by Alessio when he proposed to me to set Shaka into a natural context. Waterfalls are a perfect background of meditation for him! :)
