Ashley’s Dresses
Each year, the fashion show opens with Ashley Eckstein, coming down the runway in a dress designed by Andrew MacLain, designer and Audience Winner of the 2014 Fashion Show.
Last year, she wore the first ever Funko Pop dress. This year, it’s a transformation dress, inspired by She-Ra: The Princess of Power. The accessories were made and designed by Harmony Leiker. There was also a stunning black evening gown inspired by Batman, also designed by MacLain. Later on, she changed into a gorgeous lavender top and pants inspired by the Haunted Mansion, designed by Leetal Platt (Audience winner, 2015).
For her final look, she wore knee length dress donning the designs inspired by “On Your Sleeve”, the embowering movement to transform children’s mental health. Scroll through the carousel below to see all of Ashely’s outfits.
