It’s the premiere runway show for fangirl fashion, offering designers the chance to showcase their skills and their pop culture loves all for the chance to design a Her Universe fashion collection with company founder, Ashley Eckstein for Hot Topic.

The 6th Annual Her Universe Fashion Show is set for Thursday, July 18th at 6 p.m. at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. Admission is free, but seating is on a first come first served basis so if you want to make sure you get a seat make sure you get there early.
