When Ashley Eckstein--best known as the voice of Ahsoka Tano on the animated Netflix series Star Wars: The Clone Wars--couldn’t find suitable fangirl-themed clothes for women, she created her own fashion label, Her Universe.
Since 2010, Her Universe has forged a specialty market of clothing and accessories with such retailers as Hot Topic, ThinkGeek, Disney theme park stores, and a future line with Japan's Studio Ghibli, doubling sales annually for the past three years. At last week's San Diego Comic-Con, Eckstein upped her brand cache with a two-hour Her Universe Fashion Show that streamed on pop culture media platform Nerdist and may become an annual event. A kind of Project Runway for geeks, the production featured 36 designs chosen from 160 entrees in a spring contest.

Indian Fashion Expands Online. Exclusively.inScarves with traditional phulkari embroidery. Last June, the Web site Exclusively.in debuted in the United States with much fanfare. The concept seemed promising: Indians and Indophiles stateside could choose from a range of India-style clothing, art and home furnishings in a flash-sale format similar to Gilt.com’s and receive their purchases in three to five business days. The idea has proven popular with customers, but execution has been a struggle. The company found it difficult, time-consuming and unprofitable to constantly change the inventory at its New Delhi warehouse. Now its founder and chief executive, Sunjay Guleria, is going back to the drawing board. Renewed by more funding, he re-launched Exclusively.in in mid-October with a focus on e-commerce minus the flash sales, and introduced SherSingh.com, a site that caters to buyers in India.
