To go from being such a big event to nothing, you know, it was understandable because everyone’s health and safety came first. And when the date of what would have been the Her Universe Fashion Show came and went, I definitely asked myself, “Would anyone miss the show?” Is anyone gonna want it to come back or is this the moment where it just kind of fades into the sunset because our show had garnered such a following at Comic-Con, it was one of the biggest events to kick-off and open up Comic-Con on Thursday night. You know, what was important, what wasn’t, what was essential, what wasn’t? I don’t know about you, but I found myself questioning everything. Well, you know, I think we all found ourselves in kind of a moment of questioning last year where we found ourselves at home on our couches questioning what our path was forward. So, as you said, last year was canceled due to COVID and you assumed the Her Universe Fashion Show was done, right? RELATED: Army of Thieves Gets First Poster, Comic-Con Panel Set for This Weekend We’ve had Star Wars collections or Marvel collections, and we’re excited to share on the fashion show Friday night what the winners will get to design for. So, the collection that they get to design is actually a ready-to-wear collection and we announce every year what the property is inspired by.
We have a judge’s winner and an audience winner, and the two winners win the opportunity to design a collection with Her Universe to be sold at Hot Topic. So, I actually call it “geek couture,” and we have 25 designers who compete with their geek couture designs for two winning spots. But this is actually the seventh Her Universe Fashion Show, and it’s actually a competition show and it is kind of like Project Runway meets geek fashion. I say annual with an asterisk because there was a pause last year with COVID.
Ashley Eckstein: Yeah, so the Her Universe Fashion Show is an annual event at San Diego Comic-Con.
