SDCC 2018: Her Universe Fashion Show plans announced

By DRWHO42

The world of fashion and “geek couture” will intersect once again at the Her Universe Fashion Show at San Diego Comic Con (SDCC). Her Universe announced their plans this morning for their 5th Anniversary Fashion Show and it is promising to be the best yet.

The fashion show will take place on Thursday, July 19th at 6pm at the Manchester Grand Hyatt (doors open at 5:15) and is presented by Her Universe, Hot Topic, and Loungefly in partnership with BoxLunch, Cartoon Network, SINGER Sewing Company, and Zenni Optical.

This runway show will feature original “geek couture” designs from 24 aspiring designers. At the conclusion, three winners will be selected and awarded with the opportunity to design a fashion collection with Her Universe and Lougefly for Hot Topic. Showing their support of past winners, this year the Her Universe show will also include the debut of a special gown created by 2013 fashion show winner Andrew MacLaine and worn by company founder Ashley Eckstein.

New this year will be a first-ever Junior Designer Showcase – a competition for aspiring designers between ages six to seventeen. Cartoon Network will be joining The Her Universe Fashion Show for this portion of the event. Four winners of the Junior Designer Contest will be announced and presented with the opportunity to design an apparel piece inspired by The Powerpuff Girls with Her Universe for the pop-culture and gifting retailer, BoxLunch. Cartoon Network will also give fans in the audience a chance to show off their individual style and walk the runway.
