Star Wars is so hot right now — it is even hotter than the magma Hayden Christensen fell into that one time. During fashion month, Force-infused designs were featured on runways in both New York and London, and both mostly consisted of slapping Darth Vader prints on billowy dresses and calling it a day. Those of you who would prefer a more literal/dramatic interpretation of the series are in luck: this weekend, Her Universe announced that it will be presenting the first full-scale “geek couture” fashion and design competition at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.
“Fangirls are already using the halls of San Diego Comic-Con International as their runway to showcase custom fashions,” Her Universe founder Ashley Eckstein said in a statement. “We wanted to give these designers a bigger stage to share their talent and also provide an educational experience in the fashion industry.”
