COMIC-CON ON THURSDAY, JULY 21 AT 6 PM
Her
Universe founder/Actress Ashley Eckstein returns as host alongside
special co-host Nina West for the fan-favorite fashion competition
presented by Her Universe and Hot Topic
Critically acclaimed as one of the must-see events at SDCC, the 8th annual
Her Universe Fashion Show returns to in-person programming during San
Diego Comic-Con International (SDCC). Fans will watch as 26 designers
compete with their original geek couture designs to win the ultimate
prize – the opportunity to design a collection with Her Universe for Hot
Topic. Presented by Her Universe and Hot Topic, the event will be held on Thursday, July 21 at 6 p.m. PT in the Harbor Ballroom of the Manchester Grand Hyatt Hotel.
Hosted
by actress, entrepreneur, and best-selling author Ashley Eckstein
(voice of Star Wars’ Ahsoka Tano), the theme for this year’s show is
“Coming Home,” a celebration of the return to an in-person San Diego
Comic-Con event. Drag icon Nina West joins Eckstein as a special co-host
for the evening.
“After
three years away, I am overjoyed for our event to return in person,”
said Eckstein. “We chose this year’s theme because San Diego Comic Con
is not only the home of our fashion show, it is truly a home for me and
the fans. We have an amazing group of designers this year and I can’t
wait to share the stage with my dear friend Nina West. This will be a
celebration you won’t want to miss.”
“I
am beyond thrilled to join my friend Ashley on stage for the Her
Universe Fashion Show. Celebrating inclusivity with amazing fashion
looks everyone will love will make for an incredible evening," added
West.
As
fans have come to expect, the Her Universe team has many surprises in
store in addition to the stunning couture looks inspired by beloved
characters, stories, and themes from all across the genre. By the end of
the night, two winners will be chosen: one by the audience and one by
an expert panel of judges. This year’s judging panel includes the 2021
winning designers Teighlor Johnson, Skyler Barrett, and Vivien Lee as well as industry experts Elena Vrska and Mallory Leveille. Special gifting for the evening provided by Lug, the popular lifestyle brand of travel bags and accessories.

Hotel Harbor Ballroom, and doors open at 5:15PM, with the show beginning
