Comic-Con News: The Business of Geek Fashion
San Diego Comic-Con is just a week away and we want to announce some of the events Hero Within will be participating in. What makes Comic-Con so amazing is the unique intersection of fashion, fandom and the industry. If you've never been before, the energy and creativity around geek couture is unparalleled. Whether it's cosplay, everyday cosplay or something inspired from a favorite fandom, Comic-Con is the place to see the future fashion trends of geek culture. Between the Her Universe Fashion Show, apparel vendors and a number of panels, Comic-Con is an incredible place to be inspired as a young fashion designer or entrepreneur. I will be appearing on the Business of Geek Fashion panel on Saturday morning and honored to be among an esteemed group of panelists. Please show your support for Hero Within- and I would love to meet you!
The Business of Geek Fashion (Sat 10a, Rm Pacific 24)
Do you ever wonder how the latest Star Wars fashion collection was made or why companies are hosting fashion shows featuring your favorite fandoms? This panel will offer an inside look at the business of geek fashion, examining the major changes that took place in the industry over the last year and what they means for the future. Moderated by Lisa Granshaw, panelists Ed Labay (Hot Topic), Ashley Eckstein (Her Universe), Jon Schindehette (ThinkGeek Denver), and Sara Scargall (WeLoveFine), and Tony Kim (Hero Within) will discuss the process behind creating pop culture apparel and accessories, how geek fashion is expanding into new areas, how the industry has evolved over the years, and recent geek fashion trends.
