It is virtual this year, because we wanted to just ensure the health and safety of everyone involved, but we were able to make it happen. And so yeah, I'm thrilled to say that we're back. It's about bringing people together to support each other. And at that moment, me and the Her Universe team, we said 'We have to find a way to bring this show back.' Because this show, even though it is a competition, it's not about the competition.

It was literally the most beautiful gift I've ever received in my life. And they sewed all these squares together and sent it to me, and I had no idea it was coming. And so they came up with this idea where all the past designers from the past six shows, could each make a square for a quilt inspired by their couture design. And so they explore ways to still do that. And it wasn't about the competition aspect, it was about the fact that they didn't have the opportunity to come together as one. The designers got together because they were very bummed that the fashion show wasn't happening. You know, I was completely blown away and shocked last year, when our fashion show community came together and surprised me with a unity quilt. Oh, we were 100% determined, and driven to make the show happen this year. With this year's show embracing the theme of 'community,' Eckstein shared how determined they were to bring the show back in a new virtual way: Although the Comic-Con festivities are virtual yet again this year, Ashley Eckstein and the Her Universe team worked to make the fashion show happen anyway. The Her Universe Fashion Show was part of the planned lineup for SDCC in 2020, but the seventh annual presentation had to be cancelled due to the COVID pandemic.
