Loki Me

When Her Universe announced the pre-order for their new Avengers line for Hot Topic, I immediately knew I had better grab these fast. Not only were they incredibly designed, but they were also designed in collaboration with last year’s winners of the SDCC 2014 Her Universe Fashion Show! I love the retro pin-up style of the pieces and not only do they look amazing, but they have exceptional quality for the prices. I immediately fell in love with this Loki dress as I have always had a fondness for retro sweetheart halter style dresses. The green and black keep it pretty classy and the gold design on the bottom is a nice subtle nod to everyone’s favorite Marvel villain. And on that note, I wanted to officially share that I will be participating in this year’s Her Universe Geek Couture Fashion Show (see official announcement here). I still can’t believe that my design was accepted am feeling both excited and freaked out at the same time! I’ve never made something like this before, but have no doubt it will be a fun learning experience. Unfortunately, everything has to be kept hush hush so I can’t really share much of what I’m making. I guess you’ll just have to attend the show at SDCC to see the final piece! :)
