Her Universe and CBS to Launch ‘Star Trek’ Fashion Line for Women on July 11th!

Hey ladies!

Her Universe is at it again. The company, famous for creating clothing and accessories for female sci-fi and fantasy fans, announced last week its license with CBS Consumer Products to create Star Trek-themed apparel for women.

The items will debut July 11th at San Diego Comic-Con during the convention and on the Her Universe website. Days ago, the company announced it was also premiering a Doctor Who-themed line for women at the same time. This means that Her Universe will have something for fans of both franchises.

The Star Trek line will feature tops and hoodies adorned with images, characters and phrases from the Star Trek franchise. CBS Consumer Products created a special Star Trek logo that’s only going to appear on Her Universe merchandise.

At this point, Her Universe founder Ashley Eckstein’s close to cementing her place in nerd culture history, if she hasn’t already. Not only is she the creator of clothing and memorabilia for fans of multiple genre properties, but she’s also an actress in a popular genre program–Eckstein’s the voice of Ahsoka Tano in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. (And, naturally, her company’s been selling Star Wars-themed apparel for a while now.)

Star Trek has been one of the most requested Sci-Fi franchises from our fangirls,” said Eckstein via press release. “It is truly a dream come true for me to design for this iconic brand. We plan to boldly go where no one has gone before with the first ever Star Trek apparel line just for women.”

Folks will be able to buy the items at Comic-Con later this month and also in the United States and Canada at store.startrek.com, the aforementioned Her Universe website, and retail stores like Hot Topic.

Her Universe and BBC To Launch ‘Doctor Who’ Fashion Line on July 11th!

 

Her Universe, a company specializing in female sci-fi and fantasy genre merchandise, announced this week the acquisition of a license with BBC Worldwide to create Doctor Who apparel for the show’s female fans.

The Doctor Who goodies will debut on July 11, and items will be on-sale at San Diego Comic-Con during the convention’s run that same week. Her Universe will sell the apparel and merchandise at other conventions throughout 2012. The apparel and accessories will also be sold in the United States and Canada at www.heruniverseshop.com; www.bbcamericashop.com; and retail chains, including Hot Topic.

And this could be quite the financially savvy move for the Her Universe brand, since Doctor Who is the longest-running sci-fi television series ever and will likely go on for who knows how much longer. That means the company could be selling clothing, jewelry, and other themed products for a very long time.

It’s definitely a pop culture coup for Ashley Eckstein, Her Universe founder and the voice of Ahsoka Tano on Star Wars: The Clone Wars. She designed and created her company’s merchandise for throngs of customers.

“Her Universe is a line for the fans,” said Eckstein. “Many of our design choices and decisions are influenced by our fans and Doctor Who was the #1 requested license by fangirls for us to pursue next. It was truly a dream come true when BBC Worldwide asked us to do their female merchandise and I am beyond excited to share this extraordinary announcement with our girls today! In the words of the Doctor, I feel like screaming Geronimo!”
