Groundbreaking fangirl fashion company, Her Universe, announced that it will be returning to San Diego Comic-Con International with all of its most popular geek girl styles. Actress and Her Universe Founder, Ashley Eckstein, revealed that Her Universe will debut several new designs and will offer its most popular dresses, cardigans, fashion tops, skirts, hoodies, jewelry and much more from Star Wars, Marvel, Star Trek, Studio Ghibli and Nerdist. As with previous years, the Star Wars Her Universe boutique will be located in the Lucasfilm Pavilion (#2913Q). This year, however, fans will find a second Her Universe boutique (#1317) filled with other fangirl fashions.
