The theme for this year's show was actually really easy, because the show would not even be happening this year if it were not for our Her Universe Fashion Show community. What can you tell me about this year's "Community" theme? How did you settle on that one? We're gonna have so many more people who are able to vote on an audience winner.Įvery year, the Her Universe Fashion Show has a theme. Now, we're gonna have so many more people that are able to watch the show. Now, instead of having a capacity of 2000 people in a ballroom, and unfortunately no more than 2000 people could witness the show, and no more than 2000 people could vote on an audience winner. However, the pro to it is making the show accessible to so many more people this year, and we're so excited about that. That is something that cannot be replicated. The con, from the standpoint of nothing can ever replace the electricity and the excitement in the room and hearing the roar of the crowd when a design hits the runway. There's definitely pros and cons to that.
