Ashley Eckstein, known for her voice acting role in 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars,' is the founder of fashion brand Her Universe for female sci-fi fans.
“We try to do something different with the show every year. The changes always happen naturally and a theme usually emerges organically. We like to push the boundaries and we always try to do something we’ve never done before. We never get comfortable and we try to raise the bar every time.”
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion ride, Eckstein wore a custom couture pant suit designed by 2015 Her Universe winner Leetal Platt. She also unveiled a design for mental health with her On Our Sleeves-themed dress, as part of her work with Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
The winners were awarded the opportunity to design a fashion collection with Her Universe for pop-culture retailer Hot Topic. Cartoon Network sponsored its second Junior Designer Showcase, a competition for designers ages 6 to 17. The juniors were also given a chance to work with Her Universe on a collection for 2020 inspired by Steven Universe for the gift retailer BoxLunch. Espionage Cosmetics also returned as the hair and makeup sponsor for this year’s fashion show.
This year’s judges picked Adria Renee as the winning designer for her “Destination: Isla Nublar” look inspired by “Jurassic Park.” The audience winner was Sarah Hambly for her “Bodak Green” look, influenced by Marvel’s Loki.Eckstein’s couture dresses, along with the two winning dresses from the competition, will be on display throughout the weekend at Comic-Con Museum’s Batman exhibit.
